100 ROD & CREEL 



VANCOUVER BAY STREAM 



This stream is about seven miles up from where you first 

 enter the main Jervis Inlet channel. It is affected by freshets 

 in May and June, but by July is generally in shape for fly 

 fishing. During that month and August it is often extremely 

 good, the fish running to large size. After the salmon once 

 begin to run this stream, like all others, is more or less spoilt 

 for the fly, but big catches can then be made by spinning. 



BRITTAIN RIVER 



This stream is a few miles above Vancouver Bay on the 

 opposite side of the Inlet. It is much the same as the others. 

 July and August are the best months. 



DESERTED BAY 



This bay, which is about fourteen miles from the head of 

 the Inlet, also has a good stream, very much like all the others. 



THE SQUAKA 



This is the biggest stream of them all, it runs in at the 

 head and is most affected by freshets, and is seldom in good 

 condition until the middle of July. 



All the streams on Jervis Inlet have runs of steelheads in 

 winter and spring months, with numbers of dolly vardens, the 

 latter also running well in the fall. For spinning, the Squaka 

 is the best of them all. It is comparatively slow running and a 

 good canoe man can pole a canoe up some miles. 



GORDON PASHA LAKES 



There are three of these lakes close together. They are 

 situated close to the mouth of Jervis Inlet. There is no accom- 

 modation at the lakes; camping out is necessary. To get there 

 you take the Union Steamship Company's boats to Gordon 

 Pasha, where there is a big logging camp. This camp has a 

 railway running back to the lakes and a little civility will 

 result in your outfit being transported in for you. 



The first lake is not much good; you should fish the second 

 and third lakes and the streams between them. The fish are 

 principally cut-throats with some rainbows. They run to very 

 large size, two or three-pound fish being quite common. They 

 take the fly freely, especially in the river, and in the lakes 

 close to it, connecting the two lakes.
