Rivers Inlet - Home of the Hawgs

Well, I just returned from Rivers Inlet, BC, and Oak Bay Marine Group 's King Salmon Resort.
What a trip.
For anyone who is into big game hunting with a rod and reel, there's no better place than Rivers Inlet. During my five-day stay, six chinook over 40 pounds were brought into the lodge. It seemed like every chinook that bit was a tyee!
According to DFO officers on the water in Rivers Inlet, there had been five fish in the 70-pound range caught this year! And believe me, things are only going to get better in the next couple of weeks.

I have also been to River's inlet this summer, and my experience was exactly the same. The only thing I would add is River's inlet requires a lot of patience!
Love the magazine keep up the good work!
