VERY COOL VIDEO!

I used to go down to MERRIT BC and do the same thing.
See the "Pole Floats" they use?

Just ordered them online (couldnt find in the stores here).
You use a rubber band to tie as a stopper for the bobber.

Takes only a sec and keeps the setup simple.
I also ordered the 6" Pink worms like those guys were using.

Thanks for the post!
Just a couple more weeks.... and we shall be making our own videos.

nice video great quality, was out in bc about ten years ago really amazing out there.to bad didn't get to fish while i was in bc.stop in at a fly shop in vancouver right down in the city nice shop don't remember name,they had a huge salmon mounted up on display.when we were in bc we went to squamish saw some nice sockeye salmon in a river all schooled up,this area was where the native people lived and i think they're only able to fish that particular area.we also made it to whistler and checked it out.yeah would be great to live out in bc, but it's quite costly to do so.

I rig pink worms many ways. When using the smallest 3 inch worms I hook them through the head or wacky rig them. when I use 4 or 6 inch worms I can fish them like the 3 inch version but I also fish them on a jig hook with a tungsten cone head pinned to the front of the jig hook ,either through the head or wacky rig them. My newest way to rig them employs a funny looking hook called a slow death hook ,usually available where walleye tackle is sold. Once again I slip a tungsten black cone head on the hook , then I tie a thread knot behind the cone head so that the cone head can't slip down the hook. I then thread a 4 or 6 inch worm onto the hook starting at the tip of the worm and exiting the worm about 1/2 inch down from my starting point. The slow death hooks give a slow roll to the worm as it travels downstream. I always use a swivel with these hooks to avoid line twist. Hope this helps.
