in 1994 after spending some time the summer before
in Nootka Sound. Nootka Sound is a series of fiords
that extend outward from Gold River and the surrounding
communties to the open ocean of the Pacific. It
was here that he caught his second "Tyee"
(30+ lb) salmon. The first was caught in River's
Inlet three years before. Since then he has lost
count of the "Tyees" that he has caught
and released.
He has been published by numerous magazines,
including "Island Angler" and "
Fish Finder Magazine" Paul has just completed
a 5 year contract for Fisheries and Oceans Canada,
where he was the Stewardship Coordinator for Nootka
Sound. This position required that he create capacity
in the small communities to address the issues
surrounding fish and fish habitat. Paul is also
very involved in the politics of sports fishing,
having just stepped down in 2000 as the chair
of the local Sports Fish Advisory Board.

fish for Chinook (Kings), Steelhead and Trout.
