Page 8 of the regulation synopsis states: " it is illegal to: Use a light in any manner to attract fish, unless the light is submerged and attached to the fishing line within 1 m of the hook." I'm not a lawyer of a judge, my interpretation of this regulations may be different from the interpretation of a DFO officer.

I really like your channel!! You’re not trying to promote stuff like some other vedder based channels do in a sneaky way to make people buy stuff. I catch 10 times more fish with simple yarn more than I catch with beads in same amount of time. You’re just sharing your knowledge and experience in an honest way!!! It’s more educating than any other vedder channel!! Thank you!!!

I appreciate the feedback. I don't think it's wrong for video creators to promote things from their sponsors as long as it's done in a genuine context. For me this is strictly a hobby so I don't need sponsors. KZitem revenue pays for my camera gear and that's enough. My hope is to have a positive influence on the fishery and inspire people to respect the fish.

Great video as always! In my opinion 1 in 10 is pretty decent. Something interesting I ran into last year. I showed up at a spot a bit before first light, and there were already a couple people there waiting for light. The sky becomes light and I go to make my first cast and then someone who was already waiting yells at me to wait until I can see my float (which I can). I guess he was just an older person or something but we ended up just waiting another 10 minutes for him to start casting but it was an odd experience.
@petrhermanadventures9509

When you're with certain groups of very experienced coho anglers, nobody really wants to be the one to make the first cast. That's because those first few casts are the most productive and if someone jumps the gun they're already starting to make the fish nervous before everyone else starts. It's kind of one of those complicated unspoken rules that varies from spot to spot and group to group. You did nothing wrong, but I see where the other people were coming from. I'm often the first one to start casting, but I make an effort to cast quietly and fish the water right in front of me.

It works, some people catch all their coho on the spoons and they will bite early. The main problem is that it's an easy way to lose some spoons. You have to know your spot very well to do it.

Lots of pressure. Coho are fairly small, so they're not likely to break a 10 or 12 pound leader. Basically winch them to the net as fast as possible. Also understand that it's normal. Coho are very acrobatic and head shake violently. Much easier to land a chinook even though they pull harder. My hook up to landing ratio this year is about 50%, worse some days. Today I lost 3 fish and landed none.

I was at the Vedder last year and across the river a couple guys were using glow sticks or attached to floats or something. I thought it was the coolest thing. So for a good week or so I was on the hunt for glow sticks with no results..most of the research ended up being one that you put on the end of your rod tip or for underwater catfish fishing etc. Petr as a long time subscriber of yours, can I get a hint or the name of the glow sticks that you use? Maybe a video..anything to help find these ones that people use in BC. Cheers!

The regulations state that there has to be a healed scar in place of the adipose fin. Sometimes there is a little nub, or sometimes there is just a little tatter of fin left over. I keep them, some people release them, in the end it comes down to a judgement call by the DFO and different officers have different opinions. On some Coho the adipose is quite small, so I definitely don't want to steer people into trouble. If it's doubtful release and get the next one.

Fish have very good eyesight can can take better advantage of UV light, which is largely invisible to us but more visible in low light conditions (or what we consider no light). They also use light from the moon and stars to navigate. If you arrive at a river early you will often hear them moving in large schools up the shallower parts of rivers because they feel so comfortable to move around in low light conditions.

I think you would be surprised how well fish can see at night, particularly if there is a full moon. The best Seatrout fishing in the UK is done by fly fishing in the middle of the night and the fish see the fly silhouetted against the night sky.

Why use glow sticks and cast before you can actually see if you yourself say it’s better fishing once you can start to see? Boredom isn’t a good enough reason to start spooking fish before they are going to bite. I always throw rocks at peoples floats if they are using glow sticks. Too dark they can’t even tell where the rocks are coming from 😂
@nick248

I personally wouldn't throw rocks. If you are using roe the fish smell the roe. It's not super productive but it can on occasion get you an early bite. I used to be angry about it but after learning about the regs and witnessing what can work its not far fetched for me to do that. I personally don't most times. But they are legally allowed. And most times at first light it's nice to see the float for that first hour to not cross lines

I knew there would be some replies like this. I understand your point of view, I just don't agree with it. When I glow stick, nobody casts over my line, when I don't it happens regularly. Every spot is different, in some spots I know I'm not spooking anything by quietly drifting through close to me. Other spots definitely having one guy wade out and start lobbing 15 minutes before everybody else is very poor sportsmanship, so is throwing rocks though, because that spooks the fish more than one float.
