The Rychkun brothers have turned a family passion into a family science. Each has fished this area for thirty years or more and both have been fishing since boyhood. It is their desire to convey simple, fundamental techniques that work best in the most popular fishing areas on Vancouver Island. They have systematically explored their subject for their own benefit and pleasure. In doing so, they realized that a simple, easy to follow guide needed to be made available - and here it is.
