100 Mile House's friendly, social & entertaining online news source!

Fishermen rejoice! There is now a new website that focuses on fishing in BC. The writers are mostly from here and so there is a lot of fishing news about this area. Anyone that is an avid fisherperson will love www.gillvine.com. 

Created a couple of months ago by Cole Roberts (Where are they now?)  and his fishing buddies, Gillvine is a fabulous and entertaining website that lets your inner scales enjoy readable and viewable content everyday about every region in British Columbia with the intention being to enlighten and entertain anyone who has an interest in fishing.

Gillvine is the only fishing-related website in the province that is updated daily and allows willing viewers to contribute while keeping their content fresh, intelligent, witty and relevant.

Cole Roberts explains, “Fishing is meant to be fun yet it’s extremely important. We try to balance that with our material, and we are the only site that does that in this province.”

You can’t help being amused and entertained by these deep water afishionados. The stories are bright and fascinating. Here is an excerpt from Wade Roberts’s article on fishing locally at Sheridan Lake: 

10 POUND SHERIDAN LAKE RAINBOW

So it turns out the Die Hard fishermen of the South Cariboo are still slaying fish! Late fall fishing in the area is always exceptional, so if a guy can bear the cold and you call yourself a fisherman, fish at any cost (excluding gale force ocean winds which thankfully I haven’t experienced and never will)! 

My buddy’s name in the picture is Jimmy and he’s a local fisherman. He is always “that guy” – you know, the guy that shows up and just manages to use the most ridiculous flies and lures and still manages to slay fish! Yea that guy…

Well, he caught this 9.5 pound rainbow right out of Sheridan Lake on Monday (November 2nd) afternoon using nothing but a Maroon Colored “Size 8 Micro Leech, with a full sink 6 weight Fly Line. Sheridan Lake is notoriously known as a trophy lake, by that we’re talking massive rainbow!

The website will do well. Let your friends and fishing buddies know about it and check it regularly. The pictures are spectacular, the stories fun and interesting, and it’s guaranteed to make you wish you were out on your favourite lake – chasing the big one!
