Default Salmon plans 2018

So, what is every one doing this year?
Looks like Serengeti is off to a good start.
I hear Rupert is slow
I am being told first hand that Hadia Gwaii is starting to kick into gear.

I get the pleasure of a short trip to Sandpit Adventures in 2 weeks. Looks like 2 days on the water and one day doing a Eco tour. My daughter is working there
Followed by a 5 day self guided trip to Shearwater in Mid August.

As well, something that came up last night is a true dream trip for me. Fishing the Tyee Pool at Campbell river. I have always wanted to do that. Just being rowed around looking for a 30#er. Not sure if I can pull it off but I will for 100% sure be in Victoria on Sept 2 dropping my daughter off at school. Seems prime time for the pool. Anyone have any direct knowledge?
I would love to fish that pool with a Petz wooden Reel.

Sounds like things are setting up for a terrific summer Jamie. Good luck.

I’ve rowed 5 registered Tyee out of the pool and caught dozens more that missed the 30 pound mark. It’s a good time for sure and can be quite addicting.

It was probably the single best thing about living in Campbell River....and there were lots of good things about living there.

Back to Rupert in July, maybe again in August.

My focus this year will be on mountain lakes and streams, gonna return to a few favourites in Banff, explore one or two that have me interested, and hopefully hit the Ram River as well. Then in September I'm going up to Lake Athabasca to fly fish for spawning lakers in the shallows, can't wait!

Sounds like a great summer, I will be back on the island for my annual trip and always have a great time out fishing. I decided to try the tyee pool year before last and I loved it and now addicted lol, will be spending a few days in the pool this year as its now my bucket list item to get done and register one. Early sept is a great time to be in the pool so if you have the chance I would go.

Flights are all booked now.. Airmails does save you a ton of Cash but what a pain in the arse.
Catch this flight path

Red Deer-Calgary-VAncouver-Sandspit

No flights out of Calgary, but I can drive to Red Deer so I can fly back to Calgary...
SHESHHHH

Its ok.. Saved us about $1,500. So worth the effort.

A 36 pounder was caught yesterday at the lodge. Size is jumping and so is the amount. Not bad at a all for the start of the season.

I have always wanted to do this.. Especially using old style gear. I am hopeful that Dwayne from Painters will be guiding me. He is a old gear nut.
