50 years of fly fishing, Wolfgang Fabisch

50 years ago  I took a fly rod in my hand for the first time. My father and I fished at the same time on the Diemel river under the guidance of an American. I was 12 years old at that time and fly fishing soon became the only type of fishing I indulged in.
I also celebrate another event in 2020, namely 30 years of Steelhead fly fishing in Canada on Vancouver Island.

First time in BC - Canada, 1990

Kind regards, Wolfgang Fabisch

A dream of a city for many, Vancouver

The flight from Frankfurt to Vancouver takes almost 10 hours, depending on the time of year it is a little more expensive or cheaper. You pick up the rental car at the airport and the adventure begins. Everyone decides for himself whether the time is spent in Vancouver, in the nearer or further area. It will definitely be an experience.

In the spring, the rivers in BC have heavy floods

If you see the rivers in BC / Canada in spring, you can be frightened! Fishing is not feasible, but is not as bad as most sea-migrating species are not yet in the river. Here the Bulkley River

Here I am on the Athabasca River, not far from the city of Jasper in Alberta, Canada. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to fish as I still had a date with the Bow River near Calgary. But it was enough for a few rainbow trout. 

The nature around Jasper is just breathtaking like in many other places. If you have the opportunity, just have a look there.

Angling or fly fishing, is there a difference?

How elite is fly fishing still?

Actually, angling is the term that combines almost all possible variations of non-commercial fishing. Fly fishing is only a very small part compared to other types of fishing.

It's not nice to get caught early in the morning. This place is just 20 meters away from the Bulkley River near the town of Smithers.

Fly fishing on the Doubs

Fly fishing on the Doubs is certainly not easy, but it is one of the rivers that should be visited. However, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with the local rules beforehand.
