Three Generations of Fishermen in 1 Boat!

Dave, Ken, Dale and Kyle came fishing for the weekend in late October. What a family gathering, 3 were from California and 1 from Washington State. We spent the weekend fishing for both Salmon and Sturgeon. The River was still a little high and Salmon fishing was a little slow so we spent most of the 2 days targeting Sturgeon. I think we boated some 20 or more Sturgeon over the 2 day period. It was fun to see the inner family competition going on over the 2 days as each person was hoping to hook and land the biggest Sturgeon. What a great opportunity to have everyone together, I'm sure some lasting family memories were made on this weekend! We look forward to having you all return again!

Jack & Jimmy From The Big Apple

Jack & Jimmy were here in November from New York city to try and catch some trophy Sturgeon. The weather was cold, (to say the least, hey Guys) sub-artic would be more like it! Needless to say this 4 day fishing adventure was pretty good considering the water temperature dropped 12 degrees Fahrenheit in less than 6 days. They caught some pretty nice Sturgeon with the largest fish being about 7 foot 6 inches. I think we could have caught some bigger one's if we didn't have to bury the Bananas on that last day. Thank goodness that didn't happen on our 1st day out. Everyday fishing with these guys was new and adventurous as we used Tuna gear and techniques from their experiences on the East Coast to fish our mighty Sturgeon. I look forward to having a "smoke and a pancake" with these two again in the Spring of 2004.

2003 Return of The Boy's From the East

Late October was the setting and the Fraser and Harrison Rivers were both high and dirty from heavy rainfall in the prior weeks. Salmon Fishing was going to be a challenge this year so we talked everybody into doing a little Sturgeon Fishing to start things off. Wow! Did they ever start things off with a bang, some pretty impressive Sturgeon Guys. Salmon fishing at the end of day one proved not very productive, but no one lost faith. These guys have been on lots of fishing trips over the years and know that's the way it goes some times. On the second day we targeted the Harrison River and caught a few Coho and Chum Salmon. Definitely nothing to write home about, but we sure had some great laughs and fun between the 2 boats. We look forward to the rematch between Patrice's boat and Steve's boat in 2004.

Japanese Police Force and Wally Go Fishing!

It was a real treat to have some of the Japanese Police Force out fishing while they were in Vancouver for training. It was also good training for Wally as he had really never fished much! We started off Sturgeon Fishing and most of the guys could not believe the power and size of these Freshwater Giants. Most thought they would be pulled into the water. When it came to picture taking, all the guys wanted their picture taken while lying down in the boat to show that the Sturgeon was the same size or bigger then they were. We then moved on to Salmon fishing where most of the guys caught and released their 1st Salmon. Wally even managed to catch his Salmon while Fly Fishing for the first time. What a trip to remember! Great Fishing Guys!
