Its great to have a bunch of women fishers together for a day of fishing. I have to admit, I tend to shy away from fishing with men due to their condesending attitude especially in BC here. Especially when they came out with all that PINK colored fishing gear. I wouldn't be caught dead with that stuff. And the farther away from crowds and meat holes where you find men taking their better half as well. Kudos to the guys who have a female partner who likes to bushwack and get off the beaten path! My husband and I travel all over just to specifically fish and we are pretty competitive against each other. We never share our fly or gear boxes, or rods and reels. That would just be sacrilege! Plus, it was a bonus that I met my husband on a fishing forum when I was working at a fishing lodge in Terrace, BC. He was living down on Vancouver Island. So we first met face to face at the Campbell River Fishing Derby where we realized we were both hard core fishers and battled it out to win Second Place. I couldn't imagine any better first date! I am amazed that more women don't fish on a regular basis. Comox Vancouver Island Skeena Cutthroat Queen Charlotte Islands Coho Pallant River on QCI Have fun!

Thanks for the info! The Bark Lake we are going to is the one with the leadership centre on it..so is that the "Kinmount" or "Berrys Bay" lake? Mariko won't be joining us unfortunately, she is currently in Cabo fishing for Marlin. We talked to her yesterday through Facebook and shes having a blast down there.

Especially the part about free booze..

Hey guys, We won the "Reel In The Big Ones with Bob Izumi" contest and will be coming to Ontario to fish Bark Lake on September 14th. Haven't found much information about this lake - any information would be appreciated. Here is our intinerary : You will be flown from BC to Toronto and staying at the Carlingview Airport Inn for one night. In the morning, the charter bus will take you and the rest of the contest winners to Bark Lake. (www.barklake.com) Upon arrival at Bark Lake, you will have the opportunity to unpack and settle into your room prior to joining the group for dinner at 6:00pm. After dinner, everyone will gather in the Oak Centre for cocktails and the chance to socialize with Bob, Wayne and the other Pro fishermen that will be taking you fishing the next day. The agenda for Thursday consists of breakfast, fishing for the morning, lunch and then fishing again in the afternoon. Dinner will be served at approximately 6:00 pm after which there will be a reception in the Oak Centre for all. On Friday, all the guests will meet for breakfast at 8:00 am. We will be leaving Bark Lake at approximately 10;30 am and hope to arrive back in Toronto by 1:00 pm for your return flight to Vancouver. A couple of other notes, smoking is restricted to a few areas on the property and alcohol consumption is only permitted in the dining hall and in the main lounge of the Oak Centre. Alcoholic beverages will be provided as part of this prize package.

When packing for the trip, please consider bringing warm clothing and rain gear as it can be quite cool at this time of year. Pretty happy to be travelling to your province and check out the sights! Thanks for the information on the lake..
