Hi Folks I will ramble a bit later on in this report but let’s get to the good stuff first! It is still on! Fishing is beyond good. That said, it’s the middle of August and it is supposed to be good this time of the summer, however, I’m not taking that for granted. It’s …
Hi Everyone My last couple of reports have been very similar, and nothing has really changed. Fishing Barkley Sound remains outstanding, stunning, ridiculous, stupid good, just add your own superlative… And I am worried. What did you say? Yes, I am worried. It’s been so good that it has to end, it’s got to come …
Hi All No stories, no addendums, no superfluous addons. Just the facts people! It is on! The fishing is fantastic right now. Going through my log books this has been the best fishing I can remember in late July early August. Call in sick, tell work you have covid or your grandpa passed away, again… …
Ok, I am going to start with a veiled reference to a John Denver tune. Alright I get it, not exactly a ” get off your feet and shake your booty ” kind of performer but a couple of hundred years from now someone somewhere will be singing “Country Roads” around a campfire. I digress…. …
Hi Everyone It’s become a tough grind here in Barkley and the surrounding area. I know, I know… It’s not what you want to hear but you can count on getting the real facts at least. Here is what we can report: the Sound itself is pretty much empty, which has really been the case …
Hi Everyone, Time to update you all on the goings on here in Barkley Sound. Most reports I have been reading are very much doom and gloom. That’s not necessarily the case, however. There are fish to be found. One just needs to understand the behaviour of these early July runs as they pass on by to …
It’s great to be back to Harbourside. The season is well underway and I am sure there are many of you who prefer I skip the small talk and get right to what’s happening in Barkley Sound. Ok…Not to sound dire but… It’s pretty bleak here in the sound at the moment. All of the usual …
Hi All Let’s start with the good news. The weather here the past few days has been ridiculous. Hardly any wind, clear sunny skies completely devoid of fog! It’s shorts and t-shirt weather on the water. Just absolutely glorious! But that’s the good news only…Our fish have not arrived en masse… Dribs and drabs here …
Hi Everyone July is wrapping up and August is looming. The upcoming August Long Weekend signals the start of our August fishery and the return of our Robertson Creek springs! And to boot it is indeed a very special weekend as the annual Bamfield Fireman’s Derby kicks off Saturday July 30 ending Monday August 1st. …
Ok, alright already… I am not dead, nor did Harbourside go out of business. Likely more the opposite. It’s been a very busy start to the 2022 summer season here in Bamfield. Please forgive me for being so remiss, so yes, I am indeed alive and kicking and Harbourside is in full swing. Ready for …
