My husband loves to fish at Malaspina Lake as he prefers trout to salmon. Malaspina is perfect as most people who come down the road to Tahsis are here to ocean fish.

Trolling across the lake with a big black leach at 1am this rainbow couldn't resist.

My lovely girlfriend at the time and now my lovely wife caught this chrome bullet on a cronomid down 25' after she had seen a few coming off.

So, this beauty was caught in about 3' of water. I had anchored in 10' of water and seen a few small fish feeding in the shallows, so I decided to cast for them because it was a super slow day and I didn't feel like getting skunked. First cast and bam, thought I had caught a log, until all of a sudden head shakes and big head shakes. Next thing I know I have a beautiful Rainbow screeming out my line bulldoggin me right into the weeds. She probably did this 5 or 6 times and every time I thought she was gone, but she was just resting in the weeds and I couldn't budge her. I was also using a 5 weight rod with 4lb test, which made things a little more tricky to land this beauty. 30 minutes later she was in the boat for some beautiful picture taking and released back into her home environment.

Charter out of Whittier and nailed this Halibut!
