A Busy Summer

This was the year that I was supposed to slow down. I dont think so. I gave the rights to "The Lodge" to WFN. They will be producing a new season. Good Luck to QCL and WFN. And Speaking of WFN. Nice Fish is on quite a few times a week in both standard definition and HD. We sent them 26 new episodes so check it out. Did some interesting shows this year. One at QCL in aid of the Abilitis Foundation to help build a Lodge on a ranch for disabled people and thier families. A generous bidder paid $4250 to go fishing with me for the day. I think he was more interested in donating money to the foundation than spending a day with me. Was it worth it? Watch the episode. Did a show at Escott Sportfishing out of Massett Haida Gwai. My wife was my guest. Great episode as you learn a little about the Haida. Great Sockeye episode was shot in the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Thirty million sockeye heading back to the Fraser River? What is that all about?

Cambell River Tyee Pool was exciteing. The town was great at hosting me. Thanks to Tourism Campbell River, Patti Finn's Seafood Restaurant, Wilmark Boats and Randy Killoran. Did I catch a Tyee in the Tyee Pool?

I am off to Duncanby in Rivers Inlet for some great Coho Fishing. Wish me luck.

A busy Spring

Its been a hectic time with the production company having its biggest year ever. It is wearing me out. The new series of Nice Fish is now airing nightly on CHEK News TV channel 6 on most west coast TV sets and on Canadian satellite (Shaw and Bell carry the station on the low tier feeds so it is available to many across Canada).

It is broadcast every evening at 11:30 PM. That means 2:30 am in the east. Set those recorders and PVRs as these episodes are the best that I have done in 22 years.

Want to know a little more about our production company? Go to www.nfmgproductions.com . We do a lot more than fishing shows.

Best Wishes

To all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

That time of year is upon us. As I get older and the season's pass I find it harder to accomplish what I used to in the same amount of time. We are desperately editing to get the new season of Nice Fish on the air. Our bonus this year was the launching of Nice Fish on CHEK NEWS in Victoria. Seven days a week after the 11:00 clock news you can watch NICE FISH. The response from viewers has been fantastic and it is treat to see local advertisers like Island Outfitters and Padget Business services step up with advertising on the show. Also thanks to Queen Charlotte Lodge and Duncanby Lodge. I hope you fill every trip next year. And if you are planning a trip next year to a lodge salmon or halibut fishing now is the time to book. Deals can be had and its going to be an incredible season.

Been on Holidays

Took a much needed trip to Asia for the month of October. After a season of travel and big fish one would wonder why I need a holiday. Believe me, by the end of September I was beat up. Also my family had only seen me for about 7 days all summer. So off to Asia we went. Five days in Hong Kong, five days in Phuket Thailand, five days in Phnom Phen Cambodia, five days in Anghor Wat Cambodia, five days on the beaches of southern Cambodia, then five days on the beaches of Pattia Thailand and on to 5 days on a small Thailand Island called Kho Somet.

Its good to be back and am ready to go. There is a lot to do. Edit Nice Fish, Nice Fish Junior, SFOTF and "The Lodge" Thats forty hours of programming to get out to the broadcasters. We currently have four editors working furiously to try to keep things on time and on budget.

I would like to try to get out for a day to hook into some winter Chinooks in Sooke on Vancouver Island. My Son in Law hooked into quite a few on a charter. It appears that there are a few fish out there. The main problem is weather. So if you are venturing out be safe

Rivers Inlet and Duncanby Lodge

I am  way behind on these posts as I have been travelling and shooting some great television for Nice Fish and Nice Fish Jr. Today we will start with our trip to Duncanby Lodge in Rivers Inlet on the central coast of British Columbia.

This is the second year visiting Duncanby and truly a memoriable one. Sunny weather, calm seas and great fishing. Once again my grandson Dylan outfished me. On Nice Fish Junior Dylan landed a 37 pound Tyee on a flyrod. His greatest day was bottom fishing in these waters. What a great area to let a kid spend the day catching bottom fish galore. We did very well on Nice Fish catching Tyees on lite tackle. However I could not beat Dylans catch. Dylan was rewarded with an engraved Islander MR3 for being top angler at Duncanby Lodge.

If you are looking for a cool place to enjoy beautifull scenery, sheltered water and big fish then you got to check out Duncanby Lodge. They have an open menu that surpasses most restaurants. Eat what you want, when you want. And its all included in your fishing package.
