Cutthroat two ways

EEAC6719-E398-4F53-9A98-B8B4E16039B6.jpegTook the blackball to Vancouver Island a week ago and after a squirrely three hour dirt track we landed in Bamfield.Little has changed in this boardwalk town in the last thirty years since I was here last. The population is actually less. We enjoyed some bushy hiking and some awesome humpbacks breaching. 58997513-1500-4C01-B8C4-909101070568.jpegWe then crossed the island and settled down near Campbell river where there were a few sea runs in front of the casitaBAAC303A-ECA7-4F0E-8506-4C773C41FDC8.jpeg4CE9FCFE-B33F-48C3-9010-10F40452F445.jpegdid some wet wading up a local river and found some nice buckets 398F8CEF-7852-4BAD-BDA3-019B3232AFCE.jpeg4BAED3EB-8919-4C80-986A-855672925F6A.jpegsaw this guy hiding next to some big rocks in a gin clear run. He was the smallest one in there. Looked like some twenty inchers that spooked out of there as I drifted a mini bugger over them. All they wanted was stripped meat.

Anyways fun to catch cutthroat in both water types and to explore their environs.

I already want to go back

Cheers
 
Cool stuff; never been so I appreciate getting a small taste. The design of the “casita” looks interesting. Is there a story behind it? Exterior view?

IMG_0105.jpegi think they were designed for euro ski cabins but they were pretty cool. They were arranged for decent privacy. Across the street from a decent cutthroat beach that had a pod of pinks but of course I was way up a river at that moment.
 
Nice!

We were supposed to have a family trip up to Victoria/the island in 2020, but got delayed. I've seen photos of some giant cutthroat up there.
