Good morning from the Float House in Discovery Harbour Marina

Yesterday there were no Whale Tours out of Campbell River but that didn't stop the Orca from creating excitment in the area. About 7:30 a.m. we had a report of T20 and T21 north Bound in Lewis Channel. While there were no Whale tours out our Grizzly group decided to see if they could find the whales on their way out but came up dry!
The Grizzlies, however, did not disappoint!
Between 6 -8 Grizzlies were seen today including this new male. (pic) He provided us with about 30 minutes of entertainment as he caught 3 fish, actually sitting on one in the water, pulling it out from behind his back, grabbing it by the head and eating it as he sat in the shallow waters of the Algard river.
I was not able to get any feedback from the fishing community yesterday so no results to report.

Sun shine and cool this morning and showers tonight. Looks as though another stretch of good weather is just around the corner so plan to be outside!

Cheers
