Fishings Good...
Well many good reports of Salmon are coming in steady.Sanbanks at Harwood,Coho Pt.,The Mill and Grant Reefs have all produced Winter Springs from 5-20plus pounds.Seems most fish are beetween 150-250' be sure to try different depth.Mike Pilon did just that at Grant Reefs recently,catching small fish at 130' he lowered his gear to 225' and could not keep the Salmon off.When it was al over he and crew headed in with there limit of good size springs and also released several fish.This will continue through to January so if you get a chance head out.Anchovies,Army truck glo hoochie and Pearl Coyote have been good lures..
Mike Filewich also took home a 16lb Chinook off of Gibsons beach same place where Dave caught a Halibut a couple weeks ago.
Prawns
Prawning remains open in all local areas through December.Jan 1 you will see closures in a few areas,however area 15-1 the powell river area will remain open Westview south including most of the east side of Texada,so still plenty of areas to prawn in the new year..Any questions simply stop by or call P.R.O 485-2555.
Trout
Lake fishing is good,Khartoum,Cranberry,Lois and sliammon lake are just a few to check out...Try leaches and Cowichan spoon..This fishery will also get better as we head into January..Remember to release all large trout....
Firearms/C.O.R.E..
We have both the above courses coming up in the new year so stop in and register....

The latest in powell river's outdoors...
The hunting season is in full swing,and Texada Island is definetly the place to be..Looks like hunters are at about a 60% success rate harvesting deer..It is starting to get tougher as the pressure has been on for,the last couple weeks...Most deer have been either antlerless or spikes and 2pts...Still time to cut tags as the rut is heating up..Mainland hunting has been spotty for only a few bucks comong in,the nicest being Mac's 4x4 taken with an Excalibur crossbow..
Salmon Fishing
This fishery has been steady,with several Chinooks taken in the last couple weeks around Harwood Island.Fishing beetween 130-200' with Anchovies,Coyote's and Plugs...This fishery will only get better,so get your gear ready..
Prawns
Another fishery that has picked up especially around Lund and Powell River is alot better,try 250-300',long soaks..Trout Fishing
This is fairly steady in most lakes,many large cutthrout being hooked and released and left to spawn...Texada lakes are very good at this time...Try Nanton Dodd or Ireland lakes...
Firearms Course
Sighn up at P.R.O next course Dec10-11
B.C. OUTDOORS SPORT FISHING SHOW, SUNDAY NOVEMBER 20TH. WATCH CHECK T.V. AT 12:00 NOON....THIS EPISODE WILL FEATURE POWELL RIVER....DONT MISS IT....SAM OUT
