Preview of Jan/Feb Issue Feature “Pursuing Sturgeon”

BCO Contributing Author·January 2, 2014
by Tom Johannesen Our journey began on a clear morning at first light on Island 22 in Chilliwack. The Island 22 recreational area has a large sandbar with ample parking and is ideal for boats to be launched into the Fraser River...we hopped in the aluminum jet boat and headed down...
Blind-Eye Charlie

Fly-Tying: Blind-Eye Charlie

Phil Rowley·May 8, 2015
   When trout are fixated on chironomids, trying to replicate or match the emerging pupa through pattern choice and presentation technique is the standard course of action. But what happens when this “match the hatch” mantra isn’t working? Many fly fishers, myself included, try smaller imitative patterns, shuffle through colour...
The Bristol Hopper

English Dries: The Bristol Hopper

Phil Rowley·January 8, 2013
English stillwater dry flies differ from most of their North American counterparts. Many North American dry flies tend to rest on the water rather than in it. Simple and impressionistic, English stillwater dries are designed to sit low on the surface or in many instances damp, lying within the surface...

The Fly Craft Fullback

Fly-Tying: Fly Craft Fullback

Phil Rowley·January 8, 2015
From Phil Rowley's Fly-Tying Column I divide fly patterns into three basic categories, suggestive, imitative and attractor. Each pattern category has a set of conditions when I am most likely to use them. Imitative patterns work best when a match the hatch philosophy is required, a common occurrence during the spring...
The Kaufmann Stone

Fly-Tying: The Kaufmann Stone

Phil Rowley·January 8, 2014
I have long been a fan of Randall Kaufmann’s patterns and tying techniques. His stonefly nymph is one of my favourites. A Kaufmann Stone is one of my go-to patterns when imitating larger stonefly nymphs for both trout and steelhead. Stonefly nymphs make excellent searching patterns as the larger species...
Islander LX 3.2

Islander LX

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·July 11, 2013
The LX is Islander’s top of the line fly reel. Everything about the LX impresses, from the fine machining to the lustrous finish. The reels are very light without sacrificing durability. A Teflon and graphite disc drag with a large smooth adjustment knob will stop any fish you catch and...
Shimano Calcutta 300D

Shimano Calcutta Reel

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·June 12, 2013
Shimano is set to launch the new Calcutta D series. It’s hard to believe but Shimano has improved the Calcutta’s already great casting performance by incorporating their own X-Ship technology. The X-Ship is a double bearing supported pinion gear system that provides more torque, more power and a smoother retrieve!
