Fishing for Coho Salmon in the Lower Mainland, BC

| | | Hatchery Coho | |
Do not own a boat and want to catch salmon? Not a problem, the Lower Mainland offers many quality places to fish. Each fall, from September to December, I manage to get out for a few days of Coho fishing, usually on the weekend. One of the places I fish, with my son and friends, Steve, Lino & Rob, is Two Bit Bar, Fort Langley. Read more.

BC Winter Weather - Be Drive Smart!

Winter is approaching and Metro Vancouver and the Greater Victoria areas enjoy a temperate climate with very little, if any, snow. However, Whistler, the interior, and the northern parts of BC are much colder. Slow down, drive safely and drive smart. For road conditions read more.
