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

New record salmon...
Well we have a new record for a lang creek Chinook.Tod.B
landed a 52lb Chinook yesterday morning a Lang Bay in Powell River.Fish of this size in malaspina straight are rare,but thanks to the the work of all the volunteers and shane at the hatchery Powell River has a fishery second to none on the winside.Todd lowered his fireman coyote to 50' and bang the battle was on.Todd has caught all kinds of salmon but this battle in shallow water was like no other.When it was over Todd had one of the biggest Salmon ever to come out of our waterms in over 20 years..Congratulations Todd,buy the way i witnessed a seasoned angler have a rod and reel ripped out if his hands the day before by a huge spring.Was it the same one?
Todd also lost a 30lb Plus this morning,so guess what the big boys are here so stop by P.RO. Get the latest,get geared up as Todd did and get big results....
Grant Reefs,and the mill are also hot.Head out at first light to the mill az steve and dave did and its reel simple..You will catch fish!
-Crabbing at harwood and savoury remains good.
-Prawn fishing in Powell River is spotty in some areas and good in others.The key is to vary depth and let traps soak 6-24 hours..
Lake fishing is good in larger and higher elevation lakes.Haslam and Freeda are lakes of the week,win and darcy caught there limits on these lakes in the last couple days.
-Firearms course,there is room in the October class call 604-485-2555ext2 for details.
-Boating licence stop in and right the exam and get your licence the same day.
Hunting season has begun,Stopmin and get licenced upmand try a shot in our range with an excaliber crossbow,you will love it!
Thank you all for your support this summer,get out and enjoy Powell Rivers Outdoors..Sam Out!

Sharpen your hooks
August is here and the Lang creek hatchery fish are just arriving.Aug10 to well into September there will be all kinds of chinook,coho,pinks and chum salmon to be caught from westview to lang bay.Here are a few tips.
-fish early morning and tide change
-glo hoochies in low light
-anchovies in early august
-bright ugly spoons
-troll from 15-150' mix it up
-have a large net
I find that Aug 15 on seems to be good,and this year you may keep two coho regardless if the adipose finn is missing.This regulation is for the lang creek area"check regs"
Locally the fishing has tailed off,the news of the week another halibut caught off of
Kidie pt "coho pt" nico cristante with derrick veenhoff landed a beauty just over 40lbs.The hot lure
Was the Pro Wonderstripe coyote,trolled @80' in 120' of water..
Be sure to sighn up for PRO angler of the year simply. Weigh in your fish at PRO or Kanes and be entered to win some
big prizes..Derby starts Aug 5 and runs into september..Call 604-485-2555 for more details...
B.C. Outdoors sportfishing show is coming to powell river sept 7-8 to film a salmon fishing episode.PRO staff will be along to show them the area and of course promote powell river..THis will be a great show And will be seen on WFN...Sam Out...
