Family fishing weekend for Father’s Day

CAMPBELL RIVER, BC – Father’s Day is coming up and with it, family fishing events.

From June 14th to 16th, there will be fishing events throughout Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

In Campbell River, you can cast off at Discovery Pier on June 15th and 16th, and at Echo Lake on the 15th. Residents can go to Village Bay Lake on Quadra Island on those two days as well.

In Gold River, there will be fishing at Star Lake on June 16th.
