Hi Gary,
We would like to thank you again for
the great fishing trip at the Cove. Your crew is the best, and
the food was awesome. Also, please tell Bob a very special
thank you. When we got our package at the hotel with the
chart, Brett was so excited. Bob really made his day. We
hope to see you again with in the next couple of years.
Thank you.

We had an
unforgettable experience this year, Gary. To be reunited (three
college friends) after all these years was a blessing that's hard to
describe. Jim said he hadn't laughed so hard and so much since we
were in college---and I think he meant it! Both he and Hal are
"working" on me for next year. Pat was an awesome cook and a
genuinely interesting and nice person. Besides, she fed me raw
oysters! Janelle's smile welcomed each day. Bob and Ross were ---
well, always efficient, upbeat, and gentlemen of the trade. Thanks
again for the theater to stage this reunion of a lifetime. |

| Once in a lifetime
experience. From boarding the supply ship "Frances Barkley" in a
genuine Canadian logging town and seeing all the different boats and
fjord-like sights as we motored up the ocean inlet and saw the seals
and whales. Unloading supplies by crane at a little cottage dock
which broke under the strain. The excitement of seeing a remote
fishing resort in the middle of a sport and commercial fishery and
barging across the lagoon to the marina dock. Warm welcome from our
hosts and staff. Felt like family, the good ones. Quick settle in
to the lodge, delicious lunch and off to the best fishing spots for
that time and day. My wife and I knew nothing about salmon fishing
so the guides did the downrigging and we hauled in the fish and
netted them with or without the guide's help as needed. Loads of
excitement, beautiful scenery. One day no boats fishing and one day
there must have been a hundred. Very impressive. and all catching
fish. Went open- ocean fishing one day, got a feel for the power of the ocean but as soon as it got wavy headed back to inlet fishing. Big fish out there . One guy even caught a fifty pound halibut. Great breakfasts and dinners including wine at night,very comfortable beds and facilities even for the ladies. Saw two deer eating fearlessly along in front of the lodge and two black bears foraging out near the point. Awesome photo ops all over the place. Especially at the end when our group displayed our catch. There was not nearly enough room for all the fish. The staff boxed up our fish in insulated boxes and sea-ice. And we took what we could carry, there was too much so we left some. I forgot about one of the highlights , which was when our guide took a small rockfish we caught, waved it in the air and the circling eagle swooped down and picked it out of the water on the wing. Bring your cameras. As my Irish relatives who fish on a hundred feet of river would say , It was brilliant, grand. We will be back. Many Thanks to the guides and staff..... Dr Tom Caldwell P.S. When we started to barbecue one of our salmon at home we checked the internet carefully as to method. Just as we fired up the grill our son arrived with two guests. I asked one what he did for a living and to my astonishment he replied , I have been a chef at one of Vancouver's top restaurants for eleven years. He was and we were thrilled to have him cook our first of many salmon. Total success story. Cheers |

| Dear Gary Haggard Cove Resort gave us one of the best times of our lives. The fishing was terrific and the boats and equipment were top notch. We've already had a party with one of the many salmon we landed and our freezer is full with the rest of our catch. We'll be back again. The time we spent at Haggard Cove was a real Canadian adventure, from the excellent salmon fishing to feeding the eagles, watching bears and the Cove deer. The guest cabin worked well with our group and we appreciated the wake-up calls and early morning snacks. Have you got the same time booked for next year? Judy Vancouver |
