Tips and Tech: Springtime River Fishing

Garry Elgear·March 28, 2014
By Garry Elgear Originally published in “Tips and Tech” May 2011 issue of BC Outdoors magazine. For most fishermen in this province the harsh weather and cold fronts can be a real deterrent during the winter months. Only truly die-hard anglers will brave the rain, sleet, snow and whatever else BC decides...

Garry Elgear·March 23, 2014
by Garry Elgear Originally published in “Tips and Tech” March/April 2011 issue of BC Outdoors magazine. Kicking back in my boat waiting for my guests to arrive I pull out my binoculars and start scanning the water for activity. Two hundred yards in the distance I see the surface erupt in the...

Curing Roe

Garry Elgear·September 6, 2013

Do Unto Others

Garry Elgear·September 5, 2013
Roderick Haig-Brown, one of the most praised and respected fly-anglers, not only as an active angler in his time but as a legend in ours, had a very solid belief as to how an angler should carry himself and he led unwaveringly by that example. As a self-proclaimed disciple of...

High Alpine Lakes: Some Things to Consider

Garry Elgear·September 5, 2013

Preventative Maintenance

Garry Elgear·September 5, 2013
