Road Trips

How often do we travel direct from one place to the other?  We do it all the time, and for some people, it’s how they make a living.  I remember as a child staring out the car window, looking at the passing scenery and then I’d see a river, a creek, a stream.  My heart would jump a beat and I’d enthusiastically ask, “Do you think there would be any trout in there dad?”  “Oh I bet there are,” was his normal reply, but rarely did we stop, so for the longest time I’d merely dream about such places.  Then something happened, I grew up, got older and got my own car.  For a while I was more concerned about getting from point A to point B, and then it hit me, I didn’t want to get from point A to point B in the quickest amount of time.  I wanted to stop along the way, make the trip part of the adventure.

This past summer, on my way back from dropping my fiancée off at Bamfield, I lived by this plan.  With a pocket full of licences from both BC and Alberta I stopped anywhere and everywhere that looked interesting.  You know, it took me an extra day to get back, but along the journey I found a stream with sea run cutthroat that ran to 18 inches.  I stopped at a beach and watched people catch pink salmon.  I stopped at a neat looking creek that was a complete bust.  They can’t all be great.  I hit Moose Lake, near the Alberta BC border and caught not one, but several kokanee off shore.  I also caught whites and a lake trout at Moose.  Plan for some stops along the way and you will surely discover many cool and exciting places.
