In the news tonight: the National Energy Board will take control of assessing the impact pipelines will have on fish stocks. Isn't this kinda like leaving a fox in charge of protecting the chickens...

My son-in-law is going to be in town for a few days next week and he really wants to catch a salmon (or two). We may be able to get him out to Renny, but if not, Sidney'll have to do (where our boat is moored). Hambley and Fairfax are our favourite places to fish near Sidney...any recent reports?

Has anybody been catching any halibut around Sidney lately? We're heading out there today and thought we would give it a try.

I'm going to be spending a week or so in early September at Mabel Lake, in a forestry campsite. Is there any good fishing in the lake, or in nearby creeks or rivers? Most of my freshwater experiences have been fly fishing on Southern Vancouver Island rivers and streams, and I'll have my fly gear...

My wife and I want to learn how to fish for halibut (mostly in the Sidney area where our boat is most of the time) and I had heard these charts have GPS waypoints for good places to start. Yesterday I picked up a copy of the San Juan Islands/South Gulf Islands/Strait of Juan de Fuca Fish-n-Map...

The other herring thread got me thinking about fishing for them off the bridge over the Gorge in Victoria. I live and work in Sidney now, so I don't get by there like I used to...has anyone noticed any activity there? Paul

Does anybody on here fish regularly in the Sidney area? We keep our boat at Van Isle Marina, so we spend most of our time on the water around there. We would like to be more successful when we're fishing, so if anyone has any information or hints they'd like to share, we sure would appreciate...

I'm thinking of spending a few days in the Whistler area sometime this summer/early fall and wonder when I should plan to be there and where I should go to do some flyfishing. I'm planning to hike some of the cross country trails, is it worth carrying a fly rod with me? Paul Edited by -...
