Catching my first River Chinooks!
Catching my first River Chinooks! Up until this point I've caught Chinooks in salt water charters a number of times. This was a special trip as I caught my first large Chinook in the Chilliwack River. Up until this point I'd spent a lot of time researching online and...
2014 Sockeye Season and 1st Sturgeon
My father and I got out a number of different dates during the Sockeye season on his Zodiac. That outboard ripped us around the Fraser like nothing! Anyway, on one of these outings I brought a Sturgeon rod/reel that I recently purchased and wanted to try out. This was...

Chumming the Squamish River
