Learn to Fish and Enter to Win from Yamaha

Yamaha 6 Four Stroke

July 12, 2016

Yamaha Motor Canada has signed on as the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC’s newest Learn to Fish sponsor. Each year, the Society teaches 25,000 youth and their families across BC when, where and how to fish responsibly. Thanks to the generous support of our Learn to Fish partners, including the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, Columbia Basin Trust, BC Ram dealers, Rapala, Teck Highland Valley Copper, and now Yamaha, we’re helping to grow a new generation of anglers.

To celebrate the partnership, Yamaha will award one lucky angler with a 6HP 4 Stroke Outboard. Everyone who participates in a Learn to Fish program, until the end of September, can enter to win. Full contest rules can be found here.

The Freshwater Fisheries Society is also very thankful to Yamaha Motor Canada for supporting our fisheries research program. Yamaha has generously provided two new motors, free of charge, to replace motors stolen from our research boats this spring.

Learn to Fish programs are held at BC Parks and regional and municipal parks throughout the province. We also host programs at our on-site ponds located at the Kootenay and Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery Visitor Centres. To find a program near you, visit the Events page at www.gofishbc.com.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
