Islander MR2

Island Outfitters has started a year long leader board contest for trout. To enter you have to bring in your trout to be weighed at the store. Konrad Herrmann is the current leader with a 7 lb 1 oz...

I fish alone and use Loomis 10 1/2 foot rods. You land more fish with a longer rod, as it's more forgiving while fightng the fish. Just look at how few steelheaders use short rods.

Results please!

No prize for smallest, but a 15.4 won a $1,000 gift card as a hidden weight prize.

It's mentioned at the derby, on the tickets and dispayed on signage.

I've caught winters as shallow as 30 feet. Sometimes they are in much shallower water than what the boats are fishing too. There really are no hard and fast rules. Chinooks like sructure and most...

Was walking the dogs with my wife on the beach by Dallas Road in Victoria this morning and there was about a 12 -14 ft boat up on the beach towards Clover Point and nobody around. Hope no one from...
