Cutthroat Trout

Last year, Frank Dalziel of Malaspina University made a presentation to the club on a project he was working on to increase the numbers of cutthroat trout in local rivers and we subsequently donated $500 to the project. He has made good progress and for any of you interested in seeing where our money was spent, the following link Malaspina Cutthroat. provides interesting reading.

Fishing Forever

Another great fishing day for about 25 senior citizens from local lodges who spent a day on the water, salmon fishing in volunteers boats. Several fish were landed, from 4lbs to 20lbs. The excursion was followed by a barbecue lunch at the French Creek campground.Sunshine but a little choppy as we left at 7.00am. The waves didn't stop Larry Wilson and Neil Mulvaney of Eagle Park from doing some serious fishing. They both caught fish and had a great time as you can see below. Pat Caldwell of Eagle Park Lodge and Floyd the captain who donated his boat are in the background.
