Went to college and became a civil eng tech. Played with soil gravel, asphalt, and cement for a couple of years. Went back to school and became a surveyor, did that for seven years then opened my own art business. Did that for about fifteen years and am now a Realtor here in Ontario. This is the best job I have ever had, wish I would of did it ten years ago when I first thought of taking it up. The courses I had to take to get my licence were much harder then anything I ever did in college, but it is very rewarding and I get as much time to fish now as I want. By the way I am going to Whistler for ten days on a ski trip with a gang of hard core skiiers and was thinking of heading to the Wack for a couple of days to try my hand at steelhead fishing halfway through the ski trip. Will be there at the end of january. Would love to hook up with a board member to show me the ropes. Any takers?

 My best advice I can give you is to give BentRod a call. He does guided trips on the Vedder for steelhead. He even has a place for people to stay. He is a member on this site. When it comes to steelhead he is the guy to go to. http://bentrods.ca/

Dennis - I was wondering if I could get in contact with you as I have some questions in regards to the trade?  Your email address seems to be disabled or inactive.
