Never been to Bella Coola either and I used to live in Williams Lake. I have heard there is some good fishing up there many times.

Zip how long ago did you live in the puddle. I lived there most of my life there and moved to the island 5 1/2 years ago.

Preppy you got to come out to the west coast for the big waves.

Canadian98 Some friends of mine were just in Bella Bella Didnt catch any fish but said the prawning and crabbing was fantastic.

I moved there in 1974 with ma and pa. Me the wife and kids left in 93. We spent 11 yrs. in Hinton AB, Then due to employment issues we came back to BC. We always wanted to come back anyhow.

I worked for Weldwood. My dad owned an upholstry shop in town.

Yeah the fishing is just picking up here now and it is still a bit hit and miss. The crabing and prawning is usually good here if you dont get your traps stolen.

We have to sit on our traps too. To many people robbing or stealing them.

Graduated in 1979 should have been 1978. School wasn't high on my list of things to do I guess. My dad had his shop on Mackenzie Ave. I think my dad trained the guy on the bottom of Fox Mountain. I think his name was Lee.

I think ive been in your dads shop when it was on Mackenzie Ave. I graduated in 82.We may have met at some piont. Small world.

Ya sometimes it seems to be. One of our members that used to live in Revelstoke worked with my wife's cousin.
