Van Island ideas ...........
« on: June 02, 2012, 09:49:41 PM »
Hey,

We are heading over to the Island over BC Day weekend (yup ferry booked already!), but our usual fishing lodge is already fully booked up  :o

Anyone have thoughts on other lodges ........ ideally we are looking for mid island within say 2-3 hrs drive from Nanaimo ..... fishing in the saltchuck with a guide

All ideas welcome!  ;D

Thx

Get in touch with Matt (IronNoggen) on this forum, he is a GREAT guide on the island.

For Ucluelet, make sure you check out our website supporter, Big Bear Salmon Charters. Here are the reports that they have been posting:
