We had the lovely folk from Lakeside Gardens Seniors Community out again today at divers lake celebrating national Go Fishing Day. The wind tried to blow us all over a few times but the bite was alright or maybe it was just Lefty. This guy catches fish each time we go out without fail. I can only hope to be as spry as these two when I get there. Thanks again for having us out, we look forward to booking you again soon.

Keep an eye out for the video proof of Leftys "remote release" skills

We are booked solid for the summer booking into mid October so if you'd like to get out fishing with us please reach out sooner than later if you have specific dates in mind.

I have spoken with some of Dustin's family in regards to where the donation from the Dustin Marsh Memorial Derby funds will be going. The funds will be going to BC Mental Health Foundation. Each year going forward on the Saturday of the Nanaimo lakes derby we will be continuing to run the Dustin Marsh Memorial. Dustin was a huge part in helping shape the derby into all its become including our measuring boards, our biggest overall trophy and of course the capture photo release. Dustin was a huge supporter of releasing the big fish to keep the big fish genes alive. We look forward to keeping your traditions alive for years to come.

Many many thanks to Frank Luund and Real Canadian Superstore for their generosity in helping us make the derby pot luck just that much better. I'm currently working on smoking up some whole chicken as well as poor man's burnt ends which were a huge hit last year. Be sure to come on by site 24 old mill Campground around 5 - 5:30pm on Saturday June 6th for the pot luck.
