Fellow OFC member "akaShag" and I (plus another buddy and his son) spent last week fishing Rivers Inlet, BC. We returned home with boxes of fillets of Chinook Salmon, Halibut, LingCod, and Rockfish. Besides the world-class angling, we fished beside Humpback Whales, Orcas (Killer Whales) and a Grizzly Bear. Tonight I grilled some Chinook and served it with Jasmine rice, Fiddleheads (frozen, which I harvested back in late April) and a white wine/butter/herb (from my garden) sauce. There is no comparison between wild Pacific Chinook and the farmed Atlantic Salmon in the supermarkets, or for that matter, Chinook from the Great Lakes. The meat is deep red, firm and incredibly flavourful...now the challenge is how many different ways to prepare it all...baked, smoked, Gravlax, Indian Candy...

just got back last night from another trip into Lac Dumoine and 10 Mile Lodge. Another fun trip in the books. Tough fishing but we caught our limit and had two great fish fries. One of the things we also had to do was put a memorial plaque on an island on the lake to commemorate the life and good times of my buddy Bob Proulx, who passed away last fall. Got it done (pictures to follow) and had a little shot of Sambuka as a toast. Anyway, the fishing was really tough, probably the toughest in 35 years of going up there. I don't know if it's all the storms, the wacky weather or the high water but the bigger ones just weren't bitting. And everyone we talked to were saying the same. Still had a great time, though.

I’m running a roypow (older epoch) it’s frigging top notch
