Bear pic was from the Nitinat (spelling?) river near the hatchery along the road to Bamfield. Thanks for the offer I definitely plan on heading back up! It's such a cool area.

Those pictures are great! Glad it worked out. What others have said about distances is true and logistics is becoming one of my most important questions for trip planning. I've done a few trips now where I did the 40 kilometers to get to the outside and it becomes a pedaling trip and not a fishing trip. Anyways, Bamfield looked awesome, thanks for sharing

Thanks! Happy to share it. That road out to Bamfield is about to get paved so I'd guess it's going to be a very different place soon.

South Island this summer I got 15lb ling from the kayak in Victoria. also had alot great action from Victoria to Renfrew for rockfish if you ever want to get out in the new year
