To Bert who requested info on the Campbell River area. Just returned. Pinks starting to run and a few kings in the Campbell river. The pinks are fiesty and very very fresh. Great fun on a fly rod. No retention until after the 1st, I believe.

Comments:
What a great place to fish!!! Took the whole family for a 3 day mini vacation. Spent my mornings with this LARGE heron watching me so I decided to follow him around in my tube, so many trout I lost count. None of them where huge biggest about 14 in but man was it some fun fishing. I just anchored my tube about 30 ft and cast an adjusta bobber with a #4 bait holder and worm, my arms got sore from casting so much. This lake has a great resort, with the best of staff and the cabin we rented was top notch full service power fridge stove etc etc. If you are here in Kelowna worth the 40 min drive :) Tight Lines

Don, if your boys are under 16 then they do not need a licence; however, if the fish they were catching were protected (dollies, sturgeon, etc.) they would have to be released anyway. In the future, grab yourself a copy of the freshwater and saltwater regulations. You will find useful pages with tips on how to identify your catch. Give us a better decription and we might be able to help you out. I stopped at the Cap again today before work. A few fish in the river but they seemed spooked today (cruising nervously around the pool). Perhaps an otter was about, but did not see any sign of it myself.

Was on the Cap July 6 afternoon, water level was fishable but clear. Not much going on up top but I witnessed 6 landed in a 2 hour span in the lower end, 4 by one guy. If water level continues best to fish during high tides so time it right and you should get hook ups.

Went to Glipmse on sat. hoping the winds would be lesser, but was wong. Freak winds also kept us off the water most of our hours...oh well, will visit the area again shortly. CnR as always.

Comments:
Indian arm is great past the falls if you want to play the 40 plus seals that are there.When you think about it, people using bait for rivers are less likely to be flossing or snagging as it requires the fish to actualy bite, if you do the jerk and reel you lose your bait
