It's great sadness that my sisters and I lost our beloved, well known fisherman younger brother George. He had a courageous battled with rare disease Alamyoidosis which is un cure able and in end he lost the battle last week. I am ten years older than him and taught him everything about fishing, especially steelhead and salmon fishing. During our younger years during the 80'and 90's we would jump on the ferry and headed over to Vancouver island and fished intensity for summer and winter steelheads and salmon. Our love for steelhead fishing got us travelling to Haida Gwaii to fished famous Yakoun river many times. As we grew older, we moved out our parents' home. We went our separate ways in fishing and had different set of fishing friends. We both love fishing Chilliwack /Vedder river for steelheads
Mind you, he always done well in catching lots winter steelies. He regular guy whom always enter his hatchery steelheads in Fred's Derby while I was more low profile in entering my hatchery steelies in.
In honour of remembering my late brother George, his fishing buddies wanted to have memorial bench setup along Vedder river in honour his of name. Donations is currently being setup by his friends. If interest please contact

RIP my beloved young brother.
