We welcome our good friend and long time crew member Joel Morrison to Ole’s as our guest. There has been a longstanding tradition when the crew would relax and undwind to do so with a “sharpie stash”, and the more creative the better. So what could be more appropriate to welcome Joel with the crew […]
At this time of year we get a lot of enquiries from upcoming trips guests about how the fishing is. Well as they say every picture tells a story and this story is all about Coho at Bailey ! We have just had a couple days on this current Trip and as you can see […]
Our season opens with a nice 42 lb Chinook ! Congratulations Matt Philipchuk and Andrew Filipchuk, keen greenhorns fishing Hakai Pass for the first time. While fishing Barney Point this afternoon Matt heard a zing and his reel suddenly took off. He grabbed the rod and started reeling and it was coming so easily he […]
We’ve arrived in Hakai Pass! A beautiful morning towing into Hakai Pass at first light at 6:00 am! 6 hours later we are all tied up just waiting for the docks to arrive to begin the momentous task of setting up for the 2015 season! It looks like it is going to be a warm […]
The docks are now arriving and the action ramps up as the crew gets down to the heavy work of anchoring the docks to the barge and then to each other…. Once the docks are in place the work will begin on readying the boats for the season…

The cleaning begins in earnest now with Chloe and Ben on board getting ship […]

The work on board the Ole’s barge continues… The new deck is now completed and the construction inside the crew quarters and work space is nearly complete. Ernie has now turned his eye sky high “literally”. A new antenna is being erected with the help of a crane to ensure good radio contact with the […]
