Nice Fish Jr,

Holiday Excitement!

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:32:34 +0000

I am getting very excited for my school to finish up for holidays. Holidays = time off for more fishing! I had a blast last weekend Salmon fishing for winter springs with my dad and my good friend Bentley.I did not think there actually was someone who was crazier then me for fishing! Bentley did not take his eyes off the rods. We had so much fun when a huge sea lion grabbed our fish… he won the battle. It was sunny and very cold out.
I plan on checking out the goldstream eagles over my holidays and hopefully lot’s of winter spring fishing with Papa and my Dad.

No catches, but saved some fish!

Today I went fishing at Sunriver. We caught one steel head and saw a lot of fish jumping. It gets maddening when the fish are jumping all around you and can’t get one on your line. We tried a lot of different flies but we still could not catch a coho so after we went to sooke river and saved a whole bunch of fish because the tide came in and put a lot of water in the creek . The fish thought it was a good time to swim up it and then the tide went out so there was just little puddles and fish got trapped in those puddles – so we saved five fish. We took them up to the top pool where it was a little deeper so when the tide comes back in they can swim up a little farther up the stream

Fun Family Fishing

Summer is over and I am starting Junior High. I’m so excited but also a bit nervous. I had to make sure I got as much fishing in as possible these last few weeks before the fall weather and school started. I’ve been spending a lot of time with my dad catching big Chinooks, as well as lots of fishing in my backyard pond catching bass. It’s definitely helped me to relax before I gear up for a busy school year.

Make sure to watch Nice Fish Jr. this Saturday at 12:30pm. It’s an exciting episode filled with fun family fishing with my dad and my brother Cameron. Guess which one of us caught the biggest fish? Tune in to find out.

A day on the water

Troll in a zigzag and you’ll be amazed at how many times the outside rod will catch a fish.

What a summer!

Holy smokes! I have been so busy this summer fishing and making shows with my Papa. I have experienced so many exciting trips over the last 2 months. I got to to be a guide for a day and take my buddy Tim Cormode fishing up at Queen Charlotte Lodge. Tim works for Power To Be, an organization that provides outdoor activities for children with disabilities. I think that’s so cool! I was also at Qualicum Rivers Resort fishing for Salmon and huge Halibut with Mike as my guide, as well as fishing for Chum in Sooke river and catching big Steelhead! I also got to try something that I have never done before. Have you ever fished in a Motorized U-Tube? Well I have! David Hale invented the Motorized U-Tube, and boy are those things neat! Keep watching Nice Fish Jr. to watch me in action using this cool invention.

If you’re jigging in deep waters, use big jigs. If you’re in shallow water, use smaller jigs.

A Boys Day Out

This weekend I went fishing with my dad and my little brother Cameron off the waters in Sooke, B.C. We had such a fun day together and we all caught a lot of fish! Cameron and I caught a 28 and a 20 pounder on an anchovy and purple haze hootchy. These are some nice fish! I can’t wait to get back out there again soon.

Dylan’s Fishing Tip #6

When reeling bait in, keep your rod tip low so the bait doesn’t spring back at you – opposite to when you’ve got a fish on, and you want to keep your rod tip up.

If you start to feel seasick at all, it is best to watch the shoreline because it is still, so it won’t feel like you are moving as much.

Educational Adventures

These last few weekends I have been with my Papa at different events on Vancouver Island and I have been learning so much! I went to the Robertson Creek Hatchery in Port Alberni where I got to learn all about Albino Salmon. Did you know that they don’t survive because they are white and stand out to predators? Check out my NFJr News video segment #2 to learn more! I also attended the Learn to Fish Program at Chemainus Lake with my papa and my little brother Cameron. The program teaches kids to love and respect the outdoors and they are taught fish identification, fish habitat, and what we need to know in order to have a successful day of fishing. Cameron also learned how to tie a knot from one of the local volunteers. You can learn how too! I will be posting my newest NFJr News segment shortly.

It’s an exciting episode of “Nice Fish Jr.” this weekend full of sturgeon fishing in the Fraser River with Rod Toth from Bent Rods Charters. Make sure to watch the fun!
