Vancouver Island Fishing For Fun Society

What are your plans for this Sunday Sept 6th? We are going over to Gabriola for the Silva Bay Fishing Derby. We will be at the marina doing a intro to casting class from 11am to 3pm. We will also have limited numbers of fishing gear to hand out 100% free of charge to local families. We would love to see you all out there supporting a great derby so I can live vicariously through all of you.

The only pics from today's fishing adventure to Campbell River. We (Frank and I) left Nanaimo at 4am got to the river at 530. People were fishing with headlamps. To say today an absolute blast would be an understatement. We landed over 100 fish (90% mouth hooked) between us. We kept our 4 pinks each so the smokers gonna be busy for a while. Thanks again for the invite

Have you been to Holly Hill Farms in Campbell River? Would you like to go check it out? They have some mighty cute farm animals wandering about the farm for you to pet. I have one free pass for someone!!

Want to win? Tell me what my favourite animal was at the petting zoo for your chance to win. I will leave this draw open until 7pm tonight. Best of luck everyone

Prize must be picked up no later than Sunday.

Some exciting news for this upcoming fall!

Oct 18th to 25th the city of Nanaimo is hosting the Fall Fishing Challenge. What is the fall fishing challenge you ask... Fish any of the local stocked lakes in Nanaimo (green, Brannen, long, divers, Westwood, Colliery, Shelton) and take a photo of your catch and send it off. (I will get the email address for photos at a later date) They have some pretty awesome prizes up for grabs.

Not to be outdone by the fall fishing challenge we will be partnering with our friends from Go Fish BC to offer a live bucket brigade style trout release Oct 26th at Colliery Dam. Trout will arrive at 12 noon for release. Come on out this will happen rain or shine. Hope to see you all out there!!

Managed to get out last night for a bit of line soaking with a friend's dad. We each got a nice spring mine was 76cm his was a bit under that and 2 hatchery coho and 5 nice Dungy to round out the trip. Was a great day on the water, headed back out again today but will be shore bound. Have a great day everyone.

Were you at the Ladysmith Days Bullhead derby this morning and forgot your tackle box/book?? Contact Ladysmith Days to get them back to you safely. Thanks to everyone who came out bright and early and slayed the fish!

What are you all doing this Sat Aug 1st?? Come on out to Oyster Bay Marina for the Ladysmith Days Bullhead derby. Starts at 7am with prizes handed out a few minutes after 9am. This is always a great time despite its early start. Come on out and try your luck.

Anyone forget a rod at Fuller lake yesterday?? Contact info on post.

Come on out to Silva Bay Marina Sept 6th yours truly will be there from 11am to 3pm offering intro to fishing class as well there will be another opportunity to learn fly fishing!! Not only that we will have some fishing gear that will be handed out 100% free of charge.
