I'm not trying to steal your post, but I just got back from Gold River last night. We drove up fromVictoria Thursday morning. When we arrived, it was cold and clear. The first day we mainly reconoitered some spots, but still managed a couple of good fish.
Friday arrived really cold and clear. I had a 5 fish day and my partner managed a couple also. Fish ranged from 10 to 13 lbs.
Saturday was warmer, just above freezing with consistant rain. We only had 2 hours to fish before going back. Once again, we each managed some nice fish. The best of the day was my last one, a 38 inch doe. We hit snow 5 km out of Gold River on the drive out, that lasted till the outskirts of Campbell River. Driving was lousy as there was a lot of black ice under the snow. Still made the trip worthwhile. We will be back to try it again in the future.
