The Tide RipThe Tide RipFishing dailies and sourced place reads · Vancouver Island
Two waters, read the same way. Each sample is one piece of water pulled straight off the record: the current rule, the salmon limits, the stocking status, the local pattern, and every gap named instead of guessed. This is what the paid read looks like, given away free so you can see the work.
Stamp River — the Somass fishway, the closed zones at the falls, DFO’s current chinook and coho limits, and the one line people get wrong about the summer closure.
Sproat Lake — the busy, roadside, heavily fished water; cutthroat catch-and-release; and a current stocking status that reads: none.
