New to the Island

[viking46]

Just moved here from Manitoba and already I miss my Walleyes!

Now I have to learn a new way of fishing but not having much luck waving around a light line. Where can one go in the Parksville/Quallicum area to learn how to use a fly line or very light spinning outfits? Also what about shore fishing? Any around?

Thanks guys.

Go up to Port Alberni and follow the signs to Stamp falls. On your way you could go to the Rifle range (sportsmen's Club) and fish there and up to Girl Guide falls about a mile up. Spinners sleigh at this time. Good luck!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Had my first tie-in with a Coho on the Stamp (by the gun club) and it was awesome! Lost 3 landed one. Snapped my 18 lb test line, lost hooks, got a calus on my hand, hooked myself twice - but I had an absolute blast. Walleyes and Northerns were fun but so is this.

Thanks.
