Fly rods…with so many choices, so many brands, how does one decide which to buy? Check out Bill Luscombe's recent installment which provides an overview of some of the more popular brands and makes. Making a choice on a new fly rod to buy, can be a difficult one at best. To complicate matters, pricing can be inhibitive and not an accurate reflection of overall quality. In this article Bill provides some helpful guidelines in finding a rod that is just right for you.

There are many salmon fishing resorts on the BC Coast to choose from and each have their own unique qualities. However there are few that have been around for more than 20 years and even fewer that have been a fishing hub for over 60 years!

There is only one place that I am aware of, and as you might have gathered by the pictures surrounding this article, it is Shearwater Resort and Marina. 60 years of being a fishing hub and central supply community supporting BC’s remote Central Coast region.

Whales of all types, Sea Lions, Seals, Sea Otters, Dolphins, Porpoises, Grizzly, Black, and Spirit Bears, Wolves, and countless species of birds consider this region their home. Lets not forget the 5 species of Salmon, Halibut and bountiful Groundfish. It is no wonder that the first peoples of this area decided to settle here so long ago. This is also likely the reason that the Widsten family decided to take the plunge and purchase Shearwater from the Federal Government at the conclusion of WWII in 1947. The Shearwater story is unique in itself; imagine how many experiences that Shearwater has provided to people over the last 60 years?
