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.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.
