@teethsheet Saltwater species around Vancouver are definitely not fewer than those found in Asia, fishing is quite seasonal too. Beside salmon, you have perch, flounder, sole, and a few other groundfish species. Go to our website and under the "Ask the expert" section, there is actually a feature about your question right now.
@michaelshanahanfly Sometimes, mostly in Northern Europe these days. I grew up fishing in Asia and Southeastern Australia (Port Philip Bay, Gippsland, all the way up to Eden, Tathra) actually before moving to Canada.
BC offers probably the best freshwater (salmon and trout) fishing in the world, but in my opinion the saltwater experiences offered in Australia are by far the best.
@fishingwithrod Wow mate, I had no idea you used to fish here. I'll try and go fishing down old Tarthra wharf and a few secret spots on the south coast and get a video for you.
Nice video Rod, very simple and informative! Nice weather too that day, hopefully there's more to come :) With your experience, what type of fish would you most likely encounter fishing the lower fraser between now (November) and February?
@JCheong04 Pretty slow unfortunately. You're most likely catching bull trout and cutthroat trout, but even most of these fish will be further upstream in tributaries feeding on salmon eggs that have been deposited. For the rest of November and even the early part of December, you still have a chance of catching a coho salmon or two. Chum salmon are available too, but you are more likely to catch them with a spoon or spinner than roe.
@teethsheet They have them at Berry's Bait and Tackle; the spot he's recording this at is below No 2 Road bridge but im not going to let the exact location go ;)
@teethsheet The rod holder was made by a friend of mine many years ago. Being an unhandyman, I'm not able to tell you how it is made. Tackle stores carry similar holders so check them out. The location is what Kremlin60 has described. Don't go there, because we've concluded there are no fish. ;)
@teethsheet ... the location is right infront of my house on river road, just off of #1 road and west of barnard drive ...( no i am not going to give my address ...lol )... it's basically towards the start of west dyke trail where you can see the airplanes take off and land on the south terminal side, as Rod pointed out, there's the odd winter salmon and other fishes... but nothing exciting...imo.... unless you want to catch nothing but fresh air for the day... tight lines & good luck.
@JamesBerkey We're always developing new video tutorial ideas, most come from comments that we get so we'll do our best to do one on this in the near future.
@mcgaugh57 That is correct. For a setup with the hook at the bottom, a sliding weight is a better alternative so the line will slide through it when the fish pulls the hook.
nice vid

Do you fish overseas at all Rod? I guess you probably don't have to with the fishing quality in BC!

Well also the reason for the hook above the weight is the fish pulls on the rod rather then the weight.
