SPORT AT CAMPBELL RIVER 57 



hotel to the best fishing ground, if the tide was 

 not favourable, was a drawback, and per- 

 sonally I should prefer to pitch a camp on one 

 of the many excellent sites at the mouth of the 

 Campbell River, so one would be independent

 is not favourable, a good plan is to leave the 

 boat at the mouth of the river and walk home 

 along the shore to the hotel for meals. 



The fish generally took best at the turn of the 

 tide, and about half water. Many enthusiasts 

 were out at 3 and 4 a.m. and in some cases 

 struck a good rise, but these early mornings 

 without a cup of tea, I fear, did not often 

 appeal to me.
