    Quesnel Lake Rookie

    Never been to Plato's, but enjoyed Elysia a few times now. At Plato you could try the bay where the river comes in. Maybe small bay to troll but minnows coming down river to stimulate the big fish? I've caught fish shallow in June, using #9 fiberglass fly rods, spinner and bucktail. Rainbows...

    Fur set to fly at Nanaimo open house

    Towing a fishing boat behind cruiser....

    You could go to Silva Bay, in early May for a test run. You'll have narrow entrance and exits to navigate, practice anchoring, you might drag? traps for Prawns and salmon have started migrating past. Then go to Port McNeill in mid June. If you go to early, it is still like winter up there. Try...

    Lets see your fish Cleaning station.

    from the 2nd hand store I brought home an old cooler tray, stainless sink, with narrow edges. it is almost 4' long. I cut slots in the underside of 4 cedar 2x4 planks, and they fit over the edges, taking up almost all the space across the sink. Mounted the sink/cooler on top of an old boat...

    Change oil or not?

    the manuals have always indicated 100 hours for the 80W90 gear oils. I used to change engine oil twice a year, fall and spring. 100 hours per year on the main. So would get less hours on the 10w30 in winter than the summer 20w50. old inline 6.

    Lifting Outboard brackets: worth it?

    I have never used a lifting device that is hydraulic, or spring driven. I installed a 20 hp, 4 cycle bracket from Garelick or whomever, and kept it in the lower position always. Ya sure the bushings wear out, but just tighten it all up, never move it. 20 years!!! My boat had a high transom...
