The fishing just keeps getting better in Powell River(The Pearl Of The World)Salmon.Rainbow Trout,Cutthroat Trout and Steelhead,take your pick..
Salmon Fishing
Harwood Island is still giving up plenty of Salmon,Liam Phyall and his Dad stop by P.R.O. for the latest reports and headed out to the West side of Harwood.They new the key was depth,they lowered there gear to 200 feet and within a minute they had there first of three Salmon.Liam (pictured above)won't forget this trip as it was his first Salmon,way to go Liam of course he was using a P.R.O. Hoochie.
Toba
Steve and the boys headed up to Toba for some winter springs and it also produced within minutes.In the end Team Brach hoocked 8 Chinooks ranging from 18-8lbs,that will go good with the jumbo prawns they picked up....Anchovies did the trick ounce again 200 plus feet...
Trout Fishing
Lois lake had anglers tired out with some anglers reporting 40 or more fish ranging from 5-10 plus pounds...Lois is on fire at this time with the odd slow day.If you want some great action simply head up to Lois,you are guaranteed a good work out and so is your gear...
Prawn Fishing
This fishery remains open in area 15-2 Powell River,Harwood,Vivian,Savary ect...Prawning is good in Thunderbay also....275-350'

Mid January

Well the Bow season will come to an end this weekend,but there are a few of us heading over for the P.R.O. Archery Buckmasters...There have been a few deer harvested in the last week as they are finnaly starting to move a bit more...A few reports of a second rut with bucks fighting,rubbing and chasing does,this should help..Most deer have been taken in the afternoon and of course some have shed there antlers.
Salmon fishing continues to be good,no shortage of winter Chinooks,simply head out get your gear down 160-250' and you will catch fish...Harwood,The Mill,Thunderbay and Lund all producing...
Local lakes are steady also with Lois being the most active,one angler reported huge schools of rainbows on the surface at Lois,if your fly fishing try a reel slow retrieve on a full sink line or simply troll a leach pattern.Stop by for the Lois Leach...
Boat Launch...
Nothing new to report on the westview launch,still day to day....stay tuned. Sam Out..

Happy New Year

Fishing: Salmon fishing has been great with many winter springs landed.Most range from 7-13lbs and are generally beetween 160-210'.Army Truck Hoochie,Black Magic and of course anchovies are a sure bet.Backside of Harwood and the Mill have been the best areas,Steve was out yesterday and hooked 14 Chinooks taking a few home...


Trout fishing seems to be on and off at this time however look for this to pick up after this cold snap...


prawns : This fishery is great at this time,Savary,Harwood,Vivian island are producing great numbers so get out there...


Boat Launch: As far as the Westview launch goes i am hoping for an opening in February until then launch at Gibsons Beach,Lund or Saltery Bay.If you launch at Saltery Bay fish in Thunderbay good winter chinook area 150-220'..
