Have you fly fished the Wigwam River in Fernie, BC?

No?

You're missing out - big time.

I just returned from a trip there this week, and I am blown away by the quality of this fishery. Huge bull trout and fiesty westslope cutthroat trout all in a gorgeous, easily accesible location? Can't be beaten!

Sure, the Classified Waters licence is pricey for non-BC residents, and whether or not you agree with

Wow! If you've never gone sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River, you are missing out!

I've been three times now, and it never gets old. It is a truly unique fishery and a unique experience to battle, land, study and photograph these amazing creatures.

Some of these fish are more than 100 years old, and have been caught at lengths of 11 feet or more. Even more interesting is that these fish are

A fairly interesting news day today - and no, I'm not talking about that Obama vs. the Cambridge police thing...

I read today that Canada, more specifically Great Slave Lake, may be home to a entirely unique species of cisco - just discovered the other day. They've dubbed it Coregonus googelii - the "googely eyed cisco."

The fish was caught in Great Slave Lake last fall, and is now under seririous

We all want to go salmon fishing! Especially this year, when you can't keep them out of your boat.

How does HALF PRICE salmon fishing sound?

 BC Outdoors magazine, our brother publication out on the coast, is holding a fishing derby at Shearwater Resort & Marina on July 17-20. And they have a limited number of spots left over -- available at 50% off.

Interested? E-mail Mike Mitchell, editor of BC

Holy cow! Time to head out West! From all reports the salmon fishing is going gangbusters.

"Fish Tales" columnist Wayne Norstrom just phoned me up before his trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands. Apparently there are some good amounts of chinook to be caught - but they're darn near impossible to get to because of all the coho! ot a bad problem to have. (In terms of BBQ fare, I'll take a six-pound

Don't close the window! This is not another doom and gloom report, believe me, I'm just as sick of them as you are.

 No - this is about how lucky we are to have recession-proof hobbies.

What am I talking about? Well, imagine for a moment that during this economic downturn, your hobby was sailing. You might be in trouble - at the very least, there's a good chance your significant other might not

The ice is a bit too thin today, but it won't be long before the devoted few are dragging out the augers and short rods. Especially if the trend predicted by The Weather Network (for Edmonton, anyway), stays true. Minus 15 tomorrow... oh boy.

 Who out there ice fishes? Before I moved to Edmonton, I was under the impression everybody east of the Okanagan was a die-hard ice angler. But now I see
