Classic wooden troller fishing Meares Bluff
Relaxing at Dawson's Landing after a long day on the water
Biggest fish of the year (and best personal record for hali). 45 pounds. Used the gaff to get into the boat. Will definitely use a harpoon next time as way too big of a fish to gaff

Lot more relaxing to anchor up in the outlet to the river at Savona and pick up those nooks there. That lake is a big place and they spread out like crazy. Good job finding some!Interior run freshwater chinook got a couple finally after striking out 3 years in a row! Would have been better except for the 3 gill netters working kamloops lake

thanks wally, yeah we worked for them landed 3 total lost another 16 at the boat just before the net. 16 and the big guy was a 22lb at 41" long prob well over 30 in the salt for sure. Caught a jack as well 52cm but tossed him back.

nope def nice and firm, they are just darkening a little because of the change from salt to fresh and the journey to the rivers to spawn obviously but when we get to them usually they are still in good eating shape for sure. in 2018 we got 6 in total in 2 days and all them were just as firm as these ones were. They eat well.

Like everyone else it's hard to pick once you start looking through all the pictures. We had another great summer in Renfrew along the beach and offshore. Most days it's just me and the boy but I love every minute of it. Two of the pictures were taken by him. He seems to have a pretty good eye for some neat photos. Great pictures and memories posted so far.....

yep for sure - I mean we can all show our fish pics and those memories are priceless, ie:
But where we live and the scenery we have can never be taken for granted. This is an amazing part of the world and I have as much enjoyment taking in the view as I do having a screamer on the line!

We see this question quite often, coastal folks are surprised to hear how good the interior fish are despite being so far from tidewater. In 2020 I took my buddy out for Osoyoos sockeye because he couldn't go to his guiding job in Haida Gwaii. Despite being teeny 3-4 lb fish, he loved it because (a) fish still bright with firm red meat, and (b) first time in years that he had fished for salmon wearing shorts and flip flops.

Has to be seen (and eaten) to be believed, I guess.
