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..
