FISHING REPORTS

Hi All This is going to be  quick report as we are in between guests and getting things ready. Fishing is very solid all over Barkley Sound right now. It has been a stellar June and all things look like it is going to continue to be amazing through the start of July. As I stated in my first report of the season the best and most consistent chinook fishing has been around the perimeter of the Sound. If the water …

Hi Everyone As the Beatles so aptly put it, ” It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter”. Here comes the sun baby!! and we are back! Harbourside is up and running. Hopefully you have all dusted off your rods and reels and are ready and eager to get at it! It’s happening on the west coast of Vancouver Island and Barkley Sound is alive with marine life and of course, fish! We moved the boat up the 2nd week of May …

Just tired I guess.  This morning I am in between guests. Nat and Franco from Nat’s Pizza in Kitsilano just left yesterday  and I have a new group coming in this afternoon. My morning is sort of free, other than laundry, boat …

Ok- first,  I am so sorry… I promised a fish report just a few days after my last one and it’s been two weeks. I have not forgotten all of you though I do deserve to be chastised! One thing that I suppose happens to all of us is it seems I am getting on. Damn I feel old! I have been flat out exhausted and I am only 3 weeks in! My hands are nicked and cut, my back is sore, my …

Hi Everyone It’s straight out of the classroom and right onto the water for me! So great to be back at Harbourside in Bamfield for the summer! We are up and running and ready to roll! Ok, no one wants to hear my grandiose stories of last year’s high schooI basketball season. You are all waiting for some “fish” news. Ok then, let’s get to it! I have had a few chances to do some fishing recon this June before …
