If you don't have that ability in your bag, travelling to further spots won't get you much greater success. Being a Lower Mainland BC'er, I can tell you that success with pinks on the fly is no real learning tool to catching trout in flowing water. Fly fishing is a series of learning curves and plateaus and will not give up its answers without the requisite time.
Amen! Big fish are big for a reason, they have the ability to spot even the slightest impurity in your cast and drift. Sometimes you only get 1 or 2 casts at these big fish before they shutdown, especially in the case of browns
