Spent May 20-25 @ Langara Fishing Lodge http://www.langara.com/site/?id=3 here's the report.
Salmon-few and far between.
Day One</u>-not a bite @ Lacy Island but I enjoyed fishing offshore even though conditions were marginal.
Day Two</u>-not a sniff and weather/sea conditions were worse.
Day Three</u>-finally got a bite (Yes I said one bite) all day also picked up a 23# Ling just where I knew one would be.
Day Four</u>-Finally hooked/landed a 19# Spring and a tiny Halibut.Of course that was the day my camera battery died.
Day Five</u>-not a sniff.
Lacy Island WC Langara Island
Halibut-rough conditions meant fishing for them was extremely difficult few bothered fewer were successful, I got both my squibs trolling for Salmon
Rockfish-had a helluva time fishing with Marco Lee a guy some may know from Berry's in Richmond.He has a fine mind for analysing how fish bite and how to present lures to them, casting lures toward the kelp and retrieving them or rather hop/jigging them along in shallow water was a lot of fun we caught all kinds of critters including different kinds of Kelp Greenling/Lingcod/Black Rockfish, lotsa fun on light tackle.

Lodge-Fishing Operations</u>-very well planned very well run everything you need.I remember now why I don't like cut plug it's a howling bore of a way to fish but I knew that's how they did things when I booked.
Vessel of Dreams
Safety end of the operation is the best I've seen run by capable/caring/concerned people-very impressive.
Lodge Marine Safety
Food/Accommodations</u>-great little room up under the eaves with a skylight right over the bed I slept like a child every night couldn't ask for more.Food was plentiful well made and again very well organised.
A Bit o' Food
Langara is a large well established place that doesn't cut corners anywhere for any reason and I would recommend them to anyone any time.
One unfortunate situation is the burgeoning Sea Lion population they were following boats around for hours and tearing off fish whenever they were hooked bad and getting worse and there's bugger all anyone can do.A guy who was at the lodge has some pics of one Sea Lion encounter if he gets them up on the net I'll add them here.
Misc Pics
Rest of the pics are at http://s37.photobucket.com/albums/e60/A_Fisher/Langara Island May 08/
Sure the hell hope this works I'm beat and photobucket is slower than cut plugging.
