December News

Well holidays are over and lots of work to do.I am just back form the peace country,(Hudsons Hope) We managed to harvest two nice Mule Deer,what a trip.As far as the local seen lets get you up to date..
Hunting
The local season for deer is over in 2-12 however 2-16 (Texada )remains open for bucks until .Dec15 . The archery season in 2-16 runs from Dec 15- Jan 15,so get out and cut your tags..I would say the Texada season started off withn a bang and then sputtered out of a ten i would say it was a 7.5...However it is not over yet...
Salmon Fishing
Well for those that have managed to get out ,you now the fishing is good.Winter springs have been averaging from 8-13lbs.Mike has the hot hand with two chinooks in the teens limiting out last week..
The boat launch
Well here is the latest...Dont expect to be launching your boat in westview anytime soon due to the ongoing work.To make things worse the ramp has been crushed by the dreger causing plenty of damage...I am guessing January-March before we can launch if we are lucky..As far as i am concerned this is unacceptable and it just goes to show the lack of (safe) boat launches in Powell River.It boggles the mind,Powell Lake has better launching facilities than all of Powell Rivers coastline..I realize we will hopefully have a nice harbour down the road,it wont make up for all the time,money and opportunities missed because the lack of facilities...
Trout Fishing
This fishery is prime at this time Nantom lake is the lake of the week with many nice trout being caught.This will last for6-8 weeks so get going...Sam Out...
