High school fishing club in Surrey
« on: September 18, 2006, 07:21:31 PM »

Hello, I am a high school teacher in North Surrey.  I am starting a fishing club and was wondering if any of you guys had any idea of where I should take the kids?  I was planning on taking them fishing once a month and meeting every 2nd week to learn how to tie knots. flies etc...  I would like to make it to the Squamish for the chum run in early November but other than that I have no ideas.  I would preferably like to take them to locations within a short driving distance of Surrey Central City station. 

Your input will be greatly appreciated. :)

Sorry Cohokid, I'm down the road at Kwantlen Park.  Are there any bars to fish for salmon on the incoming tide near the Patullo bridge?

Dan, several suggestions:

Send an email to Jeff Weltz, who's also a forum member here (newsman) as he has had experience on this. keta@kendryl.net

I would recommend that you phone up the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery, talk to Natalie and possibly plan out a field trip to the hatchery for half a day. The hatchery includes a visitor learning centre, which has amazing aquarium setup with BC native fish species. http://www.gofishbc.com/fvh.htm

Possibly a trip to either the Chilliwack or Seymour River hatchery?

These are more like educational excursion. As for fishing, Squamish is one option, but all need waders. Stave River is another one, Jeff used to take his kids there for lessons.

I have more info, but dinner is ready, will post more later.

oh you guys have no clue about grove, 12 years ago or so was a total hood that town so much bad crap went on, as everyone grew up and moved out its allot better now, millions of people at the mac gas station all night picking fights with people , i never hung out there casue i didnt get along with anyone, the complex on the corner accross the street from the macs, the cops were in there all night so much crap went on in there it was rediculous , and i use to live in there, some of you think its so tough now in grove , nothing compared to back in the day 

Too True, 

I was around back in the day about 9 years ago....the grove has gotten ALOT better since those days.  FF I doubt we ever met, but I hear ya on the ol' Grove days. I'm from the other side of the freeway, but used to hang out there some weekends......the tims/wendys was the favortite for my crowd every Fri night for the races....Boy were we stupid back then.  Lucky to be alive today

BTW:

For any of the young guy's reading this.   From someone that lived through it, and I'm sure Shane will agree.....trust us......STREET RACING IS NOT WORTH IT!   As much fun as we had back then, it WAS PURE STUPID!    DON'T DO IT!

PLEASE whatever you do, don't interpret the trip down memory lane some of us are having as condoning the stupidicy of street racing.


Just in case anyone was confused or concerened about my position on this.

Shane,  I was just posting a note to appologize for the highjacking myself.

Enough about this, back to the original topic :)

Youngin,

I see how that could sound ironic,  my point was this:  (Even though you're quote was not an exact quote, I understand the intent behind it)

Of course in the moment as young idiots we had fun.....as we grow up and have the benifit of a little (emphasis on a little) more maturity, we realize how stupid that "Fun" really was.
