Anybody else grab these things by the smooth spot for releasing. They seem to stay pretty calm. #lingcod #kyuquot

Guide Ben @jorginhammer netting a nice Chinook on last nights evening fish. Had to watch him catch fish all night. Thanks @fishing_with_rod for sharing the photo. #kyuquot #murphysportfishing

Summer fish have been been around for a few weeks now. It’s going to be a great season. #murphysportfishing #kyuquot

Tristan choose to miss his graduation today to be at work at the lodge. We got everyone together including guests and gave him a round of applause and squid grad hat. #kyuquot #murphysportfishing

Kyuquot vibe.

This was our big fish for the Sproat Lake Bushwacker derby. Managed to find 14 fish for the weekend but no love for the big ones. Maybe next year. #Sproatlake

Always upgrading the fleet. There is always something going on in the shop. New motors, pods, electronics it never stops. Love it. #maintenancematters #Portboathouse #lowrance #yamaharevsyourheart #shimanofishing #scottydownriggers #murphysportfishing

Looking through some old family plug boxes for @islandoutdoorsman and came across this original Alaskan plug shipping box. Inside were some new boxed Plugs and some newspaper stuffing. On inspection the newspaper was from Oregon and published 1975. I think that likely dates this shipment of plugs that came to the family’s tackle shop in 1975. #Alaskanplug #oldtackle #luhrjensen

Our guide Kevin Barabash shared some photos from the past few weeks. Fishing has been steady this year with a mix of older and new fish. It is far from the glory days of the past but still a great passion that is entrenched in many of us. I can’t think of a better way than to spend a day fishing in winter. #stampriver #wintersteelhead #portalberni #fishingvancouverisland #fishingbritishcolumbia #murphysportfishing

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

Fall season on our home river never lets us down. #fallsteelhead #cutthroat #coho #murphysportfishing
