Thanks for the update Holmes. We just returned from a week stay at Pacific Playgrounds. While i was there I went to the Campbell river and hung around a bit. I didnt see anybody having any luck, so i went to the River Sportsman to ask and the guy told me that some are in, but nobody is catching anything. Not a big deal though, as i also have a week off mid august, so I will be sure to take the little guy up there then.
So then i decided to go and check out discovery pier. I was impressed by looking at the catch board that basically every 2 days, a 20 pounder or so is being caught. The biggest was 32.5! Pretty cool, but i never had a chance to drop a line. Just too busy with all the family from alberta. I did manage a 4 inch bull head from the dock at Pacific Playgrounds though. I handed the rod over to my boy(reason i was fishing for those), and he battled it like a pro. Took a quick pic and then the bull head was released unharmed!!lol
I was actually on my way to swim at Mcivor lake when i heard about the elk falls incident on the radio. Really unfortunate for all involved.
