Great to see videos from Rod again. Thank you. Really enjoyed it !
Just moved from Saskatchewan to Mission BC. I got a lot to learn out here with the different ways to fish and different species, very excited to learn how to fish the rivers and catch some coho. Thanks for the videos hopefully helps speed up the learning period.
Rod as usual ,wow someday fabulous......cool clear waters of the north we love it, God Bless...
Hey Rod,
I just moved to northern NY last year from Australia, and fished the Saranac River for landlocked Atlantic Salmon during their spawning run from Lake Champlain. Caught my very first one; a 26 inch long male. Plus two 24 inch long spawning Brown Trout. Lots of fun. Trout season opens here April 1st. I will be using salmon eggs in the Great Chazy River near the border with Canada. When the ice goes out, I plan to go for Lake Trout using spoons.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. Thanks, Rod, for the advice on the gear and the river conditions. I don't get out fishing much and it's great to see great fishing spots so close to home (I live in Coquitlam).
You're very welcome Fred. ☺️
Cool video! I like the way you put this one together!
Spinners and spoons. I love it.
Fishing With Bottles same here bottles lol
Not a bad way to start a video with some chrome, wicked content mate. Keep the awesome videos coming in!
Just recently began tying my own jigs and I can't wait to try them out when coho start to pickup 😊
Great!
I love coho, never fished for them in a river. We had a lake that use to stock them, awesome fighters! That Vedder River looks amazing. Great Info, maybe someday I'll get up there and fish it.
Thanks for watching! :)
Great fishing. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Well done Rod! Great video, as always! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I appreciate a lot your work. And I've noticeв that your filming and editing skills significantly improved! Way to go!

Awesome video Rod. I loved it!
Thanks!
even though this vid was uploaded 6 years ago, it gives great well detailed info
just started fishing here, learning how to catch coho !
Glad to hear!
My buddies & I used to do shoreline spin-casting for salmon around southern tip of Van Island & we would "follow the fish" around from spot to spot as the salmon were coming in a few wks before spawning timeline Easter Sunday one buddy caught a 35 lb.14oz. Spring...now *that* was a smiley luv the show (keep on fishin'🤗
Love all your videos, Rod.
Thanks!
Just found your videos, enjoyed, and subscribed. Thanks for the educational presentation.
Thank you Ralph!
Good job , thank you Rod
Always an awesome vid rod. Love your cinematography always beauty views without the landmarks in the back to give away the holes... Love it
Thank you!
Wow...just enjoy your vids. Your child is so adorable,you are an excellent teacher. One again the scenery is just spectacular...and us girls fishing too!!! You have a great sense of humor and an intense reverence for all the sport. You show you truly enjoy bring forth knowledge to all levels of angling expertise,and making sure to pass along good conservation practices for future generations. Sorry to see and and for the year...but hope to hear again to appreciate your work and passion. Thank you
Thank you again Johanna! My goal is to always deliver this passion to everyone so you’ll either get to feel like you’re there with me from the screen, or get out there to experience it too after learning enough from the videos.
My fav fishing channel
Thanks!
Thanks for fine video about a salmon. To hold a salmon on the tense fishing line the real high! Hi from Russia!
Thanks!
Good video Rob! I enjoyed it!
Thank you! :)
very nice presentation showing fishing equipment and stream fishing i like this video
Thanks! New coho salmon episode coming today!
I always love watching your vids before coho season! lol. I never had any luck yet with Croc spoons here on the Cowichan. always nail them with silver colorados or a small #3 blufox
Thanks for watching. New coho salmon episode coming today! :)
I’ve been the last two years in Northern California,no luck yet I think my timing was off tho so hopefully this year I’ll be able to catch my favorite fish
Thanks for the information!
Here's what happenes when you show up on the Vedder with spinning gear: A bunch of drunk old dudes with $1000 custom centerpins will laugh at you for being an amateur... and then you'll catch twice as many fish as them.
WestcoastWheelman haha that's awesome!
It's the same in this area. centerpin drifting for steelhead with similar gear laugh at other people and bully them out of "their" spots. it's ridiculous.
Use whatever legal method you enjoy and are comfortable with. Some days I like to spin, other days I like to pin, and the baitcaster comes out frequently too. It really doesn't matter what other people think.
Fishing with Rod I live in a very shallow Creek and I don't know what to use cuz I usually use spoons an estuary and I don't really know what I should use this is very shallow no bait down though
Yes, I do not fish for salmon, just Trout. I went fishing once with 2lbs spincast. There were a few men there laughing at me. One said "There is no way you are catching any fish with that gear here son, we've been fishing this whole area for 2 hours now with flies, nothing biting." I just shook my head. In about 30 minutes I went and showed them my catch of at that time 7 big keepers. They could not believe it, and I left laughing
Thanks! Very nice video!
Thank you Rod!
My pleasure!
love this vid
Thanks!
Your tha man rod thank you
Thank you Nicholas!
Great video.
I love your videos 👍🏾🎣
Thanks!
awsome vid
Great Vid Rod! I recognize the spot you showed us;)
Some of the clips are from that day when you saw us. :)
man you really put the smack down on em
Still a good showing of salmon (coho) swimming by Sooke on Van.Island westcoast. I rember seeing one on the cleaning table about 12 yrs. ago that weighed in at 30 lbs.That is biggest coho I saw and About 10 yrs back I caught one 20lbs. The 5-10 pounders taste best! CHEERS from Sooke B.C.
Thanks Darryl, it has in fact been a tough grind out here on the Chilliwack/Vedder River this season. I do hope there is still quite a few fish coming in from the salt. Cheers! :)
Oh man, I wish that spot was still there. I only got to fish it one year. So sad.
Hey Rod, I watched this video for like 10 times now 😂 hoping to get a coho soon.
In a few weeks from now you'll have lots of chances! Good luck!
Thanks Rod!
Im here again Rod, watching your videos! Hehehe
Welcome back! ;)
Hey Rod, whats your setup like on the end of your rod? are you just attaching a leader and the spoon/spinner or jig and casting and retrieving?
One of the most helpful videos regarding salmon fishing in BC!!!
I will be making a long journey from Cyprus to BC ( Roadtrip from Vancouver to Banff) for a couple of weeks. I want to combine the raodtrip with fishing along rivers etc. Is August/September a good time to fish ? Also what species can you catch during that time ?
If you are looking to do some salmon fishing like this video, then September and October are much better around Vancouver. August however, is a beautiful month for driving from Vancouver to Banff. You have quite a few options along the way, to stop and catch some trout at some rivers or lakes. :)
Very cool deal man just picked up a Shimano Nasci 3000
You'll love it!
Awesome
Thanks!
@@FishingwithRod Your theory, tips and techniques are excellent, been watching your video since i started fishing here in Alberta... maybe Chilliwack soon
Nice fish
Thanks Shawn!
Recommend a case for salmon steel head rod and reel? If so which one???
Love all of your videos 👍 . So much information 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
I want to get to the main land for some salmon so much
thanks , nice one , like always , are you cast down stream ? , because some of spoons came with instruction to cast up stream, so I'm kind of confused
On a flowing stream, usually slightly upstream so the spoon would sink to the depth where you want it to be before you start retrieving.
those fishes looks very tasty , I had never fish for salmon , but it looks like a really fun thing to do
Rod,
I’ve been contemplating getting braided line . Right now I’m using maxima 20 lb Ultragreen for float fishing at the Vedder. I’ve read reviews and people say that the powerpro snaps easy at the knots . Is this the case for you ? I’ve been reading about the powerpro super 8 slick v2. What are your thoughts ?
Awesome channel and tips by the way.
For float fishing, I would totally stick to Maxima for your main line. For the PowerPro braid main to fluorocarbon leader connection, I do have problem (snapping) with it once awhile, but that's usually from pulling it out of a snag and putting quite a bit of force on it. I like to use 15lb PowerPro to 12lb Seaguar fluorocarbon. I find that if the fluoro leader is any lighter than that, it breaks more easily.
If you ever come state side...Up State NY ...Pulaski is some great salmon fishing there.
Pulaski can be good, but its overcrowded many times. I'd rather fish BC but its on the other side of canada lol
Bagelstorm so true bit there places that i go that public has no access
The stairway is great. I'm loacted in Rome
hey rod, what knot do you use to tie the braid to the flourocarbon and how long of a floro leader do you have on? also is a size 2500 spinning reel enough for chum salmon, i was looking to get a shimano sahara but im not shure what size I should get. Thanks
Hi Wayne, I use an improved albright knot to connect my braid to fluorocarbon. My leader is usually between 6 and 10 feet long. There is a video tutorial by Kitty on here which shows you a different connection knot as well, she uses a loop to loop connection. A 2500 spinning reel is perfect for coho salmon (I use 2500 Stradic CI4+ and Sustain, but do have a Sahara 2500 as a backup and it works just as well). My 2500 has handled quite a few chum salmon, so it's doable. With that said, if you plan to primarily target chum salmon more than coho with it, I'd go with a 3000.
Hey Rod, what's your favorite way to attach the braided line to the fluorocarbon leader? Thank you!!
Hi Simone, I use an Improved Albright knot. There is a video tutorial on here showing another connection knot done by Kitty as well. Search "lure setup for salmon" and it should pop up in the channel.
🙏👍
When I fish for salmon I like using a lighter rod than usual, so I won’t have that full control of the fish so that the battle in legendary.
Hey Rod thanks for the informative video. I see that you use more metal and metal red striped spoons than any kind of color combination- Is that what coho prefers to chase or just colour really doesn't matter. I have metal and blue. Do I have a chance to catch or I should go shopping? At min.12:41, which exit of Hwy 1 is exactly this spot? It looks like the exit 104 at Rd,#3 Wilson Rd. It would be nice to Know. Thanks.
The colours are really based on personal preferences and experiences. Blue works for many people. I just have always had success with my silver/brass/copper + orange/chartreuse/pink combinations. As for locations, you can catch coho salmon throughout the entire river, jsut depends on the water conditions which favour some spots over others at any given time.
@@FishingwithRod thanks for the quick reply.
. I love the beautiful scene and of course the fish
Thanks ! Glad you enjoyed it.
I have a dedicated lure rod for salmon/steelhead with braided line. Had a blood knot to floro leader, but had bad knot smacking line guides each cast. A local recommended just using a snap swivel, with individual leaders for various lures. Right now I have all separate leaders with perfection loops on each one to connect to the swivel. Not sure I like it.... What do you recommend for a braid to leader rig, for jigs/spinners/spoons, that is convenient for changing lures while fishing?
The swivel option does not work for me as my fluorocarbon leader is generally 5 to 10 feet long. A swivel would impede your ability to cast since you can't reel the line all the way in. The knot that I like to use to connect my braided main line to the fluorocarbon leader is actually an improved Albright knot.
@@FishingwithRod cool, thanks! Got 5 pinks today!
FG knot..without a doubt
Rod I'd just like to thank you for your videos and outstanding tips. We fish similar rivers in the lower mainland. Where can i purchase the 9 foot shimano rod. What lbs is the braid line?And does the braid line freeze up in the winter? Thank you
Thanks Dave! The 9' Clarus spinning rods can be found at all the Shimano retailers. Fred's in Abbotsford and Chilliwack has them. First Light Fish and Tackle in Burnaby has them too. I use 15lb PowerPro braided for my main line. It does NOT work that great below freezing in the winter. Once you get ice on braided line, it can be a big mess if you are not careful.
@@FishingwithRod thank you so much for the reply. Hope to see you on the Vedder for coho and steelhead. I will check out the stores....🐟🐟
Yep you too! FYI, that particular Shimano Clarus model in this video has been discontinued (I was quite sad about that), but you should still be able to find some left over inventories at those stores. The new Clarus models are a little heavier (8 to 12lb), but still suitable for coho. G.Loomis has an E6X model which has similar specs to this rod, but it is twice as expensive (beautiful rod though). Just a few options to consider.
@@FishingwithRod thank you Rod really appreciate it
How do you keep a 1/4oz spoon in the strike zone on this fast moving water? Doesn't the current just sweep the lure parallel to the bank within few seconds?
The water I fish in is not really that fast. I only fish in slower water in between the faster parts of the river, which is where coho salmon like to hold. To keep my lure in the strike zone, I adjust my retrieve speed and the angle of the rod.
Thanks for the video. How much flourocarbon are you using? Are you tying it directly to the Braid or using a swivel?
Captain Ron Thanks Ron. I usually use about 6 feet of fluorocarbon as my leader, but have used as short as 3 or 4 feet without really seeing a difference. I tie it directly to the braided main.
Fishing with Rod .
thank you for the information Rod. I’m always a little intimidated by al of the guys on the Vedder. I can never seem to get away from it. I just retired and I will be able to go mid week but it doesn’t really seem to make a difference. I went out once last October mid week and it was still a gong show...lol. Ron
Ron, my recommendation for anyone who wishes to fish the Vedder during peak salmon season is to just walk, explore and find spots that are not crowded which do exist. Certain times of the day are also not as busy as others. Quite often the end of a Sunday can be the best time for fishing with nobody around. Good luck!
Fishing with Rod thank you for the good advise, Happy Easter to you and your family Rod!
Hey rod. Would you recommend any spots that would be good to throw a spoon or a jig. Having tried for coho using spoons yet and planing on it this October.
The river changes each year so runs are always different. I would walk and check out all the runs at the beginning of the season, and pick the ones which you are confident with and work on them regularly.
@@FishingwithRod thank you
Hey@@FishingwithRod thanks again for everything you do - just watching this video before heading to some spin fishing at the Vedder. I caught fish using float fishing there but I prefer spin casting and find it more fun, but at the Vedder I always struggle finding good water for spinning. Usually if you see people float fishing a run, it means is no good for spinning and vice-versa. Obviously without giving out any spots, do you have any tips on where to focus the energy? i.e do you prefer the canal, mid river or upper river for this style of fishing, or you think it can be done in all 3 sections, is just about finding the right water? thanks again
Hello Rod. I've returned to fishing after a four year hiatus. Looking for info, I came across your channel and have really enjoyed it and appreciate all the great info.
I watched this video and now I really want to go fish for Coho. I have a question about line strength. I just got an Okuma SST and am pairing it to a Pflueger spinning reel. I'm going to put braid on it for a main line and fluorocarbon for the leader.
In your video you mention that the rod you are using is rated for 6 to 10lb test line. You put 15lb braid on your reel. My Okuma rod is 8'6" and rated for 6 to 12lb line. I was going to put 12lb test braid on my reel. I'm going to keep this rod in my vehicle as a general fish for anything rod. Fresh water only. I live in Maple Ridge so anywhere between here and Hope. Or in to the interior during vacations.
Is it okay to exceed the rating on the rod? I do have a big Salmon rod rated to 20lbs with a level wind reel. But its specialized. I want this Okuma for general use for trout mostly but also for Salmon when the opportunity arises. Is it okay to put 15lb braid on it? Would I have to be concerned with the rod breaking before the line? I realize I could put a 6 to 12lb leader on that main line but would I need to be concerned about the rod breaking before the line if I used 15lb leader and main line for large Salmon?
After seeing you catch those Coho, I cant wait for the season to open. 😱
Hi Jason, generally it's not recommended that you use lines that are heavier than what's recommended on the rod. That said, we like to use 15lb test braided main on the 6 to 10lb rod and not afraid of breaking the rod because the leader we use is usually lighter and within that rating. Sometimes I go up to 12lb or even 15lb test fluorocarbon leader, but unless you are very familiar with your rod and know how to play the fish with it, it's not really recommended. The reason that we use heavier line isn't to catch bigger fish, but it's to avoid abrasion on the line when you fish in snaggy areas etc.
HA!!! This is so funny. I'm actually watching your lure fishing on the Vedder video right now. 😆
Thanks for the helpful information.
I will use that braid for the mainline and carry 4 to 12 fluorocarbon for leaders.
Enjoy your weekend.
@@jasonforester4572 You too! With the fluoro, I would just use 8 or above. 4 and 6lb would be so thin that any sudden rip from a salmon would snap it especially if there is abrasion damage on the line, which often happens if you are dragging a lure in rivers.
Jason Forester Hey man, I fish to different rods for coho. One is 9’ 8-15 med/light with a 3000 size shimano reel on it. I have 20lb braid on it with 15lb flouro for leader. Ive used it for everything from bait fishing for trout in the interior when the fish arent co-operating to coho/pinks/chum down here in the valley. 2nd rod is my twitching rod which Is 8’6” 8-17 med and I have an okuma 35 size reel on it with 30lb braid tied straight to the jig. Both setups work perfect and never had a worry about breaking them as i have never broke a rod in my life. Your okuma sst with 15lb braid and a 12lb flouro leader will be perfect for coho! Get out there and catch some fish!! Good luck!
Hi Rod I'm going to the Vedder soon and what are your favorite spinners you recommend for me. Colour and size. Thank you
Silver, gold, copper bodies, orange, chartreuse, pink... it really depends on the water colour and clarity.
@@FishingwithRod thanks again rod.....
Four guys side by side on the Vedder casting spoons. Where on the river is this secret garden?
The best real estate on the entire river.
I have a question for Rod, what action and power is your clarus? I'm not quite sure what action and power I should get. ( I am on the vedder river )
The Clarus which I am using in this video is no longer being made unfortunately, and it's my favourite one. It's 9' long, rated light (6-10lb) and perfect for coho salmon. Currently, the next best Clarus model you can get is CSS86M2D or CSS96M2D, which is rated 8-12lb. The first one is 8'6", which is a little shorter than I like, the second one is 9'6". Also, the other good news is that G.Loomis has a E6X model which is very similar to the Clarus I'm using in this video. It is E6X 1082-2S STR, 9' long, rated 6-10lb. The retail price is just a bit more than the Clarus.
@@FishingwithRod Sounds good thank you. I found one similar except 9ft6. Have a nice night Rod.
Where do you go in Vedder to catch coho?? I’ve only ever caught chum and wanna catch one I can take home
I go where I think the coho are at the given time. It’s always an educated guessing game and you just hope that based on water conditions, timing of the run, past experiences that you’d get it right more often than not.
great video!
Thanks!
Rod does this mean you don't using leader material lines anymore? Changed to fluorocarbon now?
No more maxima ultragreen?
For my spinning setup, I have switched over to PowerPro for my main line, and Seaguar Fluorocarbon for my leader (about 6 to 10 feet of it at the end of the main line). This setup is a lot stiffer than just regular mono, no stretch on the line so I can feel more bites. The landing ratio has increased significantly too, the line has a lot to do with it, but also the hook choice has made a difference.
That's awesome. Yeah I tried mono back then n found it too stretchy, so I started using 20lb braid, was always wanting to try fluorocarbon, is the seaguar stronger than the ultragreen?
Question Rod, do you change the hook from those spoons? If yes, which brand and type of hook u use?
I do actually. I have my own preferences when it comes to hooks and I also tend to go one or two sizes smaller for the spoon than what comes with it. I use Owner single siwash spoon replacement hooks, usually size 1, sometimes size 2.
@@FishingwithRod i just notice it while watching your videos. The spoon u have has different hooks thats why asked lol. Plus the orig hook cant hook the fish very well. Thank you!
@@fishotherapyph Yep no problem. Good observation! There are lots of hook options out there and I have probably tried about ten different ones over the years until I found one which I really like. Sickle hooks are also nice too.
@@FishingwithRod thats perfect i have a lot of owner hooks size 1 and 2. Thanks Rod! Im gonna try it this coming coho season. Hehe
@@FishingwithRod Hello Rod! I guess i have more success on owner hook! Thanks for telling me some secret 😂😁
Would an Ugly Stik GX2 9ft medium action rod work as well? (Rated 4-20lb)
I don't see why not, but that rating range is pretty big. I would look for a rod with a narrower range...
Hi Rod, i am planning to visit from Alberta. Where is the location exactly. I am not very familiar with this area. Thanks
You should be able to find fish throughout the entire Chilliwack/Vedder River. I would stop by Fred's Custom Tackle, and pick up a map which has a list of spots recommended.
Are crankbaits any good for coho. I use to use them in the fraser a couple years ago. Haven't tried them since
I've never really tried it, so you should give it a go and let me know how you do. :)
@@FishingwithRod got a bunch of mag lip plugs and crankbaits might take them to the lower fraser in search of some early coho. I'll let you know how it works out
Great, but just so you know, you cannot fish for coho salmon right now in the Fraser River. It will open for coho salmon fishing in November.
@@FishingwithRod oh? Did they change the regs or are you just not allowed keeping?
The only salmon fishing permitted in the next two weeks is pink salmon fishing. You cannot target, this includes catch and release, the other salmon species. After September 18th, all salmon fishing is closed, including catch and release, until November 1st. After November 1st, some salmon fishing opportunities, such as coho and chum salmon, will be announced. These regulations for the Fraser River have been in place for a few years now.
Rod my man, after watching most of your videos, I got myself a pair of boots, wader, shimano clarus spinning rod, stradic CI4 2500 reel, a box of Gibbs crocs and cohos...got to vedder river this morning 5am parked at lickman, everyone was float fishing and catching fish....I lost 3 spoons in an hour snagging the bottom, no bite at all....look like an absolute idiot lol...to make the day worse, I ran over the rock at the car park, cracked the skirt and front door, probably gonna cost couple grand to fix lol.......this game is harder than I imagined
Sorry to hear about the car Wade! It's not easy that's for sure. There is bit of a learning curve when it comes to catching coho salmon, but once you get it, you should be able to get into fish consistently. Good luck!
Fishing with Rod Thx for encouragement, I’m a new immigrant and just got into fishing with reels, so much to learn, your videos are really helpful, appreciate!
@@wadezhang7106 How have things come since then?
@@simonjleclair lol not catching too many fish, vedder coho is still difficult for non-local solo beginners who only have a few days fishing each year…but pretty much have all the top class gears😂
@@wadezhang7106 Shucks, the fishing is good but the catching is bad!
What would you say the average Coho size is? The internet says 6-12 lbs, but at least in the Puget Sound area, fish above 8lbs seem less common than fish between 4-6 lbs
For the Chilliwack/Vedder River? On a good year, the average is between 6 and 8lb, but you'd see fish in the 10 to 15lb range at times for sure. On a bad year, I've seen almost all of the fish are 4 to 6lb. I find that people often overestimate. An 8lb fish are almost always called a 10lber.
@@FishingwithRod Haha yep. Pulled two 4.5 pounders out of Puget Sound yesterday and swore one was 6 pounds and one was 8. Pulled a ten pounder today that fought like a monster and was convinced it was 15
what brand of jigs are those
does Rod offer charter or touring packages for fishing?
No sorry, I’m not a licensed angling guide.
What kind of camera and lens do you use for your videos Rod?
I usually film with my Canon T5i with a 18-135mm.
Fishing with Rod same
Hi Rod,
When is the best month for coho and chinook in vedder?
Thank you!
October. Check out our website, there is an article specifically for this fishery.
what spot was that?
"you don't need anything else" That's really nice but wishful thinking...What about a rag, file, knife, needle nose pliers, swivels, dual locks, extra leader line, matches/lighter, extra weights to get the lure down if needed, pencil/pen of marking fish on your punch cards, insect repellent, cell phone for locations and camera and light, lube for reels, Knife, etc. etc. Murphy's Law #5, if you don't take it with you, you're going to need it! I was always prepared and saved my ass many times but i've only been fishing for 56 years so what do i know?? LOL!!! But i do like your choice of lures.
Way to take my opinion out of context. Of course you should be prepared but keep in mind this is a put and take fishery which is within a short driving or walking distance to everything you need from a convenience store to tackle shop. Realistically, 80% of the items you listed are unnecessary when lure fishing for these salmon.
I from Harrison Hot Springs and I wondering for the best technique for fishing for trout in a creek and in Harrison Lake and rivers small I don't know what to use I use spoons or spinners or eggs or worms or Jig what do you think where help me alot
Hi tristan, a 1/8oz Gibbs Croc spoon is what I like to cast with for Harrison cutthroat trout. You can also just float fish with worms, eggs, etc (if there isn't a bait ban). Get yourself a jar or two of the Pautzke Bait single eggs, they come in pretty handy. :)
Thank you for your tip that's going to help a lot do we know jigging spoons are good great guy ice fishing spoons
Thank you for replying to me
Tristan Van Oort I live in a very shallow Creek so what should I use
Okay
Hej. Whats the castweith on your Shimani rod? are you a salmonguide?
Line Jensen Hej Line, the Shimano spinning rod I’m using is 9’ long, or 2.7m. It’s rated for 6 to 10lb, or 3 to 5kg. The lure weight recommended is up to 3/8oz I think, which is more than enough for all the salmon spoons or spinners that you’d use. I’m not a fishing guide, but I produce these videos and host a large website that markets fishing businesses in BC. If you are coming over here to fish and have questions, you’re welcome to ask anytime. 🙂
Fishing with Rod Thats a heavy rod, we use gram here in Denmark, but I looked it up, 84-224gram, here it will be used for pike or cod. I saw the video with Carl and Alex, thats why I thourght that you were a guide. I love your video
Line Jensen No no, up to 3/8oz not 3 to 8oz lol... so roughly 12 grams. This is considered a light rod and has a fairly slow blank. Most of the rods used in Denmark for sea trout on the beach are a little faster than this one I find. I’ve used this rod fishing for sea trout in Denmark a few times, works pretty well. 🙂
Fishing with Rod okay, then its better, where have you fished in Denmark?
I'm in DK right now actually, but didn't bother bringing my rods this time. Usually I fish the beaches around Køge, and further south around Holtug, as well as the West side south of Ordrup næs, and sometimes the north side around Vejby Strand. I also do some lake fishing around Ballerup since that's where I am at when I'm here.
Hey what rod do you use?
Hi Luis, in the video from 5:30 to 6:30, I talk about what rod I use in this fishery.
were is that i never fished the Vedder and i want to be successful because it's the best feeling to feed my family but I'm 11 in 17 days 12.
Awesome! You can catch salmon throughout the entire river, it just depends on how high or low the river is as I mentioned in the video. One spot can turn on and off as the river goes up and down. Rather than focusing on where exactly to go, it's best to pay attention to the level and see where the fish might be holding. :) Good luck!
I know you asked this 8 months ago and I hope you had success last season. I agree with what Rod said but one other thing to remember is that Coho really like slow water. In the Vedder, there are natural and man-made areas of the river which will have little current. Focus on these areas and look for Coho moving around.
Can you put your gear in the description?
you need to watch the video again, its all there, watch it a few times, and look up some of his other ones, these are very informative if you pay attention, good luck
How many salmon you can catch per day
Is there a limit? Thanks!
David Junsay The number of salmon you can keep per day depends on what species you are targeting, where you are fishing and when you are fishing. To get this information, you’re best to check the regulations.

Thankyou for your feedback
I want to try fishing for steelhead or coho.
Godblessyou!👍👍👍
If you have a bank I lose less fish by just pulling them on the bank. When guys try to net my fish they seem to get off more often
Lazydrifter The main reason we use the net is not so much for landing the fish. Because there are wild fish which need to be released, we like to net all our fish with the soft mesh net so they can be kept in the water when being identified and released without being dragged onto the bank when required to.
@@FishingwithRod oh for sure. I didnt put that in my post when on a river you cant keep unmarked fish it's best to net. I wasn't trying to bash you I respect you and your fishing ethics. Fish on brother👍
Lazydrifter I know, I always enjoy the feedbacks 😊

Can you catch coho every year?
Yes.
Thank you!
Would small tubes work for salmon?
Tube bait? I'm sure it can trigger bites but probably not the most effective presentation.
Fishing with Rod thanks for the info I’m starting to get into salmon fishing, I’ve been trout fishing for a long time.
i know 2 people, both charters, who ran tube jigs on trolling rigs. They caught a lot of fish that way, solid bright white, and now the stores don't sell that particular one any more. They've moved on to other lures but i'm sure there are similar tubes out there. Neither one was into bass fishing and didn't know common bass plastics so they called them tampons. hehe.
this is a river video, not an ocean trolling video, not alot of trolling on the river
hmm.. this girl's accent similar to the other girl's. must be something in the water. a good watch. A few of those fish were so bright.
You have a cute kid Rod. Someone to pass your skills to.
I asked a question on your website and I haven’t gotten an answer back yet:/
Ryan, ask me here. This time of the year I am bombarded by questions on my website, Facebook, Instagram and here so it's easy for me to lose track even though my goal is to answer everyone.
1) I'm sure it was probably just a slip of the tongue, but at 6:12 you said "spincasting," and of course you know that is a spinning setup. 2) Independent test show that straight mono line is more abrasion resistant than "abrasion resistant" fluorocarbon and a 2 1/2 foot leader doesn't stretch enough to mention. 3) If you want to catch fish, uses a jig/twist retrieve with a spinning lure and you will get just as many hits as with a twitching jig and the fish won't chase your lure, just hit it; try it.
alot of the benefit of fluorocarbon is that it 'disappears' in the water, much less visible to fish than mono,
Что за рыба? , Сима?
Any BEARS in that area your fishing?
Yep, you do see bears once awhile at these places where I fish in the video. :)
Yep, ran into a couple mom and cubes this year. I always make sure me dog . Has his Bear bells on, and he's , pretty good at not running into the bush
lots of big hungry angry bears
Where in cider river you fish
Cider?
Why you kill too many fish
Too many fish for you perhaps. There is a daily limit on how many fish you are allowed to retain, so as long as you are staying within that limit, nobody should have a problem with it.
aren't you worried you may arouse them and if you did what the hell would you do ? ha, ha,
