Bamfield reports/ Winter 10/11

Roads are a complete mess right now in the higher elevations, not sure about the road to Bamfield but i just got back to Tofino from Nanaimo and it was not fun in the passes even in my truck. Weather looks like it's settling down over the next few days though so road crews should have things sorted out by the weekend. Have a safe trip!
 
Still a sheet of ice, friends just came in took 4 hours in 4X4 chains required. Guess they had it closed from Port out last night. That section is the worst, up to Franklin. Cars all over the ditches they said.

Know some others that have no choice but to brave it later today, when I get an update, you will.
 
Update:

Way better, warm all day and raining the whole way, since the morning has turned to puddles, potholes, and the odd icy patch.

Pulled a few test rigs through the water , various needlefish, natta , " small "spoons were the ticket , 2.5 - 3 in. 5-6ft behind glow or Uv flashers. Stopped at PNT and picked up some custom TKO spoons in " Black Glow " and " flamin hans "patterns, fast troll , right off bottom 125 -150feet . Fished 2hrs that afternoon for 2 more fish , again , just outta the Nook , bonked 2 ta take home , man , let me tell ya , you cannot beat Winters for the table , unreal , my favorite fish.
