Us and our wives used to drive up from Courtney and make a full day of it. Lots of trout but all were catch and release. Loved Vancouver Island and it's people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837111543310509955.post-30773013685600175442016-09-02T04:59:09.384-07:002016-09-02T04:59:09.384-07:00i would like to go herei would like to go hereVintage Leather Bagshttp://www.vintageleatherbagsusa.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837111543310509955.post-29630077612689427922015-04-18T20:19:25.279-07:002015-04-18T20:19:25.279-07:00Any troutAny troutAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998132421652563452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837111543310509955.post-60624079000593417492015-04-18T20:18:56.185-07:002015-04-18T20:18:56.185-07:00YYAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998132421652563452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837111543310509955.post-3520718350547631262014-05-23T04:51:00.879-07:002014-05-23T04:51:00.879-07:00I found your website perfect for my needs.

At the time there were big signs up announcing that the area was to be logged shortly there after and would be closed. The road in past McCreight Lake (Rock Bay) has historically been well maintained and it was quite amenable to twd vehicles. I would expect that the quality of those roads will suffer with the heavy logging traffic, but still I would expect you to be able to make it. I have some hesitation in saying this because Elk Bay (south side of Stella) was a bit of a mess for some time in 2010 as they were working on it and using crushed rocks the size of baseballs for a road bed! Very slow going over that stuff and regular car tires might not be up to it. They seem to be using it more and more of late.<br /><br />If anyone else has been in that way, I'd appreciate an updated.<br /><br />RichardRichard Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955947507429942573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837111543310509955.post-45414225169315236002013-06-20T10:15:28.732-07:002013-06-20T10:15:28.732-07:00Can u enlighten me as to the type of road Rock bay...Can u enlighten me as to the type of road Rock bay is, will a front wheel unit be ok Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837111543310509955.post-88836172589230216922010-11-06T13:01:14.724-07:002010-11-06T13:01:14.724-07:00Thanks Eric,

I started with a Nikon Coolpix, then graduated to a Nikon D40X and after I dropped that in Cameron River, replaced it with the Nikon D3000. The D3000 (and the D40 before it) are the "entry" level cameras to the SLR market for Nikon but so far they have served me well. <br /><br />I like the controls on the Nikons and the image sensor seems good. I settled on the D40 because I liked the idea of manual focus and the ability to adjust the aperture and shutter speed -- i.e. manual mode. In the end, I mostly use auto focus and switch the focus point where I want it. The new 3000 had more focus points which is really nice. <br /><br />I really liked the macro ability of the old Coolpix but purchased a newer version for my wife and it is not the same. The new version takes amazing video, however, which I am envious of. <br /><br />The one single most helpful bit of advice I received was from a retailer who said I should get a polarizing filter. It made a huge difference to the depth and color of the shots. <br /><br />Another great tip was from a Flickr friend who pointed out the white skies in my early photos. Now I tend to shoot to get blue skies and then adjust the curves in Photoshop.Richard Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955947507429942573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837111543310509955.post-57076721684496340442010-11-06T10:32:50.064-07:002010-11-06T10:32:50.064-07:00Beautiful boats on even more beautiful water!
