Season start at Pesca Panama

Greetings from Pesca Panama

With the beginning of Pesca Panama’s season fast approaching it is time for us to let you know what we have been doing since our last charter in July. The crew in Panama has been busy preparing for this season so that when our fishermen arrive – we will be in tip top shape.

Maintenance Report from Pesca Panama

1. The barge has been freshly painted and all the wood work has fresh varnish.
2. All five Ocean Masters are going through the fiber-glass shop to bring them up to new condition.
3. Electrician is checking all the wiring on all five Ocean Masters and making any repairs that are needed.
4. Our mechanic is rebuilding all 10 engines, replacing worn out parts and checking the props.
5. Over 40 rods and reels are in the shop for annual maintenance work.

Everyone at Pesca Panama is looking forward to another great season of fishing and to seeing our anglers again. The crew has worked hard in these months off from fishing to make sure that when you arrive at the dock in David – all they have to do is put you in the boat and “go fishing”.

If you are still thinking of a charter with Pesca Panama we have some November dates for those of you who love Dorado, Wahoo, Sails and Snapper and a few January dates for the Black Marlin enthusiast still available. Call for dates and prices so you can be a part of the action at Pesca Panama this season.

We know many of you have felt the wrath of “Mother Nature” this summer with either flooding or record heat. We hope that you have dry days and cooler temperatures and that you and your families are safe.

To all of our anglers we thank you for the opportunity to show you the “greatest variety of Inshore and Offshore fishing in the World” with Pesca Panama as your host.

Tight Lines,

Cap.Jay Gustin

Fly news

Dear Jan,

Fall is known as "trophy trout time" on the North Platte River, but this fall promises to be epic! Because of the incredible snow pack of the 2010/2011 winter, the river has been running at a huge water level all season(almost 8000cfs). Now that the Bureau of Rec is finally dropping the levels, the water will soon be low and clear and the fishing promises to be some of the best we've ever seen. I have had the opportunity to be on the water a lot lately with our busy season, and I am absolutely amazed at the size and strength of the fish we are seeing. Super charged by high water and on the feed!

I would like to encourage any of you that are planning to fish with us during this epic fall season to book soon (307-237-5997) , our books are filling up faster than last year due to the unbelievable conditions.

On a more personal note, I would also like to thank all of you for making the 2011 fishing season our best ever!! So far the guides and I have rowed over 700 guide trips already this year. I just hope that you had as much fun fishing as we, the guides, had floating with all of you. So thank you for all you have done to support us and the guides and I will be looking forward to the next time we can spend a day on the water with you.

Best Fishes,

Ryan Anderson and the PRFS Crew

Ocean season ovre at Murphy´s.

Hello Friends and Fellow Anglers,

Marilyn and I are back from Kyuquot and in the office for the first time in almost 10 weeks. We are excited to be home and we are looking forward to getting back out on the river this week. Kyuquot was just outstanding this year and we are anticipating great returns of fish back to the Stamp River this fall. Cohos were very abundant on the west coast this year and we are thinking that a big part of those fish are heading back to our home river in the next 30 days.

The next two months are a very special time for us here at Murphys, as we are on the home waters of the Stamp River and neighbouring tributaries. These rivers offer two amazing opportunities. The first being that this is your best chance to get a Salmon or Steelhead on the fly, which for many is a lifetime dream. The second highlight is that the fall Salmon fishery is a sure way to hook your kids or spouse on fishing. There are so many fish swimming by on a daily basis that the encounter rate is high, which is great for the learning curve. Also being such an "active" and "hands on" fishery, the kids dont get bored!

Our ocean season in Kyuquot was the best yet. It is hard to describe it any other way. We are over 60% sold out for next year already, just with this year's friends planning to return next year. Due to the year after year early season success, we are opening 10 days earlier next year. Our updated online photo gallery and 2012 calendar will be highlighted in our next update.

We hope you enjoy this update and please give us a call if you would like to chat about fishing!
Warm Regards to Everyone,

                                                      David Murphy and Marilyn Scanlan

River Season On!

Chinook, Coho and Steelhead Fishing Season Opens.

Sunshine and Salmon....what more could we ask for? The river is in perfect shape for the fall fishery with the gravel bars just showing their peaks.

Good numbers of Coho and Chinook are starting to stage in the ocean and we should start seeing good numbers very soon. Commercial fishing has been very minimal this year and we are anticipating that this will be the case for the rest of the fall. There will be no seiners in the canal this fall so we should not see too many holes in the runs. Like last year we will also see the Somasss and lower Stamp open for the use of bait, which equals a lot of good times for anglers choosing to catch large Chinook on drift gear. There is no better way to introduce someone to fishing in the river, than teaching them how to catch large Chinooks. We are expecting a good return of Chinooks to the river this fall and we expect the fishing to be similar to what we had last year.

Many of our guests have catching Steelhead on a fly, on their bucket list and we suggest that October and early November are the best times in our area. Low flows in September are often tough for Steelhead as the water temperature can creep up, switching Steelhead into a dormant stage, that pushes them to the deepest parts of the river. The first rains switch them back into a hungry state and generally our rainy season starts in early October.

For the next 60 days let us entertain you and show you some of the best river fishing in British Columbia.....

Sword fish the Okuma way...

Croatian Okuma consultant, Dalien Vignjevic & Magnus Gunnarsson

"Hi guys,

Tuna fishing has been red hot in Croatia lately, and we have had a couple of our guys down there testing these fierce fish for strength and fight power.

Okuma consultants, Henrik S Lund and Christian Moeller, planned a 10 day trip down there determined to break the code on their own. It was their first tuna attempt, they had brought along their own boat, and they only had a few reports to go from. Nonetheless, they succeeded massively with nine tuna and one sword fish. The guys used Okuma Makaira reels, and they handled the frenetic tuna abuse with elegance.

Our Croatian Okuma consultant, Dalien Vignjevic, has also been out to sea, and from him we have the following:

'In a very tight schedule Okuma`s Magnus Gunnarsson found some time to team up with me and we went for a tuna trip here on the Croatian side of Adriatic sea. We were fishing with dead bait sardines and drifting methods. First part of the day passed without any action, but after a mid day break, tunas were on....

We caught a small 30kg tuna right away, and just half of hour later this big mama took our slow sinking sardine and gave Okuma Makaira 80 LB rod a hell of workout. Although there were moments of complete mayhem, everything went well at the end and this approx 80-90 kg fish was landed.

After that we had an unforgettable experience of watching 100-150 kilo fish emerging from the deep and taking our pre-baiting sardines right next to the boat with incredible grace and speed. We managed to get one of them hooked, but not in the boat!

Unfortunately, we ran out sardines so had to leave active fish and possibility of another monster catch. The day was perfect anyway...

This hard core fishing with enormous and hard fighting fish, big game tackle and serious approach to every aspect of fishing made this trip one of the most memorable fishing experiences of our lives!
Cant wait to get back there!'"
