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...
