Many have seen Norman McLean's classic movie, A River Runs Through It.
Some, like me, have also read the book. There are also a number of us awaiting the movie from the book, The River Why.
Another good fact-based story is My Father, My Friend, featuring the Reverend William Mayse and his son learning to fish the waters surrounding Nanaimo during the 1920's.
It's told by the Reverend's son and edited by his granddaughter. Nice -- and local.
THE REPORT
Fishing on our Lower Mainland lakes is fair, and our Lower Mainland bass and panfish are active again.
Fishing on our Interior lakes is good. For better success try early mornings and evenings.
The Fraser River is fishing well for spring, pink, cutthroat and closed for sockeye retention. The Stave River is fair for rainbow and cutthroat. The Vedder River is good for Spring and pink. The Harrison River is good for sockeye, spring, pink, cutthroat and rainbow.
The Thompson River is good for sockeye, rainbow and pink.
