A nature walk on the Oyster River and some non-retention fishing

A few times a year I get a chance to go fishing on the Oyster River for catch-and-release trout but in the fall I make my way to the mouth of the river to hook a few pinks on the fly.

Since I fly fish, it’s more of an experimentation to test out fly patterns and enjoy the day of fishing. In past years, during the heavy rain, I see people standing on the bridge and observing the flowing water. The Oyster River is alive and well due to the fact that members of the Oyster River Salmon Enhancement Society volunteer their countless hours to preserve the salmon in the river.

My fishing friend, Ed Cargill from Campbell River, phoned me up and mentioned that we should drive out to the Oyster River and take a look. We headed south and would find Hamm Road and follow the signs to the parking area. We walked in because it was Sunday and the gate was closed. The trails are well marked and you can see the work that the Salmon River Enhancement Society is doing to maintain salmon stocks on the river.
