Creature comforts for wife and fishing for husband...can they co-exist?
« on: July 20, 2015, 02:37:18 PM »
Our vacation plans have taken a sudden turn, so I am looking for a fishing locale that offers excellent accomodations for the wife (indoor plumbing, comfy sitting inside, no mossies, and a pool) with freshwater or saltwater fishing (shore or pontoon) for the husband.

My wife is not a roughing kind of gal...roughing it would be 3 star for her :). So for the vacation to meet both our needs there needs to be good to excellent accomodations for her and fishing for me.       

I'm thinking ECVI or south island or even Sunshine Coast for the beach fishing, but I'm not familiar with any freshwater r lakes that would fit the bill.

Timing is mid August.

Suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Beach fishing for pinks at Cluxewe and staying at their cottages?

I haven't stayed there yet but they look pretty good. You go try it out first and let me know. ;D

Cluxewe is Fantastic!
This is all I am going to say.
Other than it is probably my favorite place to beach fish for coho.

Then if you want there are a number of other rivers close by.
I have only stayed in the camp ground, but friends have stayed in the cabins in the fall and the spring, and they were very comfortable

Excellent suggestion, gents. The fishing and accommodation is perfect for me, however not up to the level that my wife needs for this particular vacation. A pool would be nice...

Keep 'em coming though!

right at the mouth of the Oyster River & close to Campbell River. Miracle Beach and Black Creek (beach fishing too) is just a few miles south

I don't think she's a polygamist, but she does have sisters... :)

We haven't been at this place for a while, but my wife really liked it. :-* http://www.tigh-na-mara.com It's near the Englishman, and although the rivers are closed, the shore pink fishing might be pretty good. Anyone been here lately?

Sounds more to me like he's trying to plan a nice getaway for him and his lady.

Exactly NA. What our friend fails to appreciate is that when the lady's creature comforts are provided for, the fishing isn't the only action one is provided.
