Tides & Tales Fishing Report 07/24/08
Salmon season is here! And the halibut are biting on both sides of the island as well. But July and August are always prime time for Chinooks, Springs, or King: whichever term you want to use, these are the big daddies of the Salmonidae fish family. We still have some good openings in late July and August, so book now. - Mike

Mike has fished throughout North America, including catching this striped Marlin. TIDES & TALES is owned by Mike Kelly of Port Hardy BC. Mike is a professional fisherman who has fished extensively across Canada and the northern United States.

This confirmed "fish nut", developed his skills on the fabled Bow river near Calgary, fishing for large Rainbow and Brown Trout, and specialized in Dry fly fishing after dark - "that's when the big ones feed".

Mike has also enjoyed fly fishing for salmon, rockfish, small mouth and largemouth bass, panfish, catfish, northern pike, whitefish, arctic char, bull char, brook char, steelhead and cutthroat trout.

So whatever your Canadian Pacific fishing fantasy is, let Mike create it with you.
