Paddy Lee is selling JUST SOLD one of his quads. You can can’t find the actual listing on Craigslist anymore because it’s sold! Congrats, Paddy!
The info is still here in case anyone else wants to reference what 20 year old quad with low klicks sells for.
2006 Polaris 500 HO Fuel injection 2300 kms
Winch, skid plates, suspension protection plates, heated handlebars and thumb grip, cargo rack rails.
Engine oil, transmission fluid and gear oil changed last summer ie less than 100km ago.
It has only had 2 owners – Paddy persuaded his buddy to sell to him 4 years ago. It hadn’t been used for 12+ years and was always stored inside. It had 300 kms on the the clock when Paddy bought it. I can vouch for the fact that Paddy’s pretty careful with and takes good care of his gear .
He’s only used it on logging roads and occasional trails. It’s a good bike in great condition but he bought a newer one that goes faster 😉
Full price includes delivery after purchase is completed, within 100 km ferry’s extra.
Give Paddy a call and keep this thing in the club. You can use it this spring and in the fall when we go for whitetails and mule deer.
The federal Minister has not yet made a final decision on the Salmon Allocation Policy. That means this is still an active file—and public input still matters.
There are town halls taking place this weekend in Langley and Langford. If you’re able to attend, it’s worth your time. Lower Mainland members can attend Langley, and those with contacts on Vancouver Island should encourage participation in Langford.
Why This Matters
The Salmon Allocation Policy sets how salmon are shared between recreational, commercial, and First Nations FSC (Food, Social, and Ceremonial) fisheries.
Changes currently under consideration by Fisheries and Oceans Canada could significantly alter that balance. For recreational anglers, this may mean reduced access to salmon fisheries moving forward.
This is not just about opportunity—it’s about how access to a public resource is managed, and who gets to participate in that fishery over the long term.
More Than Just Fishing
Recreational fishing in British Columbia supports local economies across the province—from tackle shops and guides to accommodations, fuel docks, and small businesses.
Restrictions to access don’t just affect anglers; they ripple through entire communities.
Langley Town Hall Details
Event: Salmon Allocation Policy Town Hall Date: April 18, 2026 Time: 10:00 AM Location: SouthRidge Fellowship Church Admission: Free and open to the public
What You Can Expect
The Langley session will focus on:
A clear breakdown of what’s being proposed
How it differs from past allocation approaches
Potential impacts on recreational access and local economies
Conservation considerations and the role of anglers
Practical ways to engage with elected officials
A Note on Participation
Whether you agree or disagree with the direction of the policy, this is the stage where public input can still influence the outcome.
If decisions are finalized without meaningful participation from the recreational community, the result will reflect that absence.
If You Can’t Attend
If you’re unable to make it in person:
Stay informed through trusted sources
Speak with your MP
Share information with others in the community
Bottom Line
This isn’t just about this season. It’s about long-term access to salmon fisheries in British Columbia.
If you care about that future, now is the time to pay attention—and, if possible, show up.
Cliff Tang is organizing a Steelhead Derby on Saturday April 18th, 2026.
There will be a 50/50 Draw and a $ 100 Entry Fee on the Vedder River.
Cliff is not sure how people will get money to him before the event but he will figure things out.
Please send an email to RSVP to clifftang@shaw.ca so that he knows who to expect and can tell you where to meet him.
Cliff has been trying hard to get more fishing events -from derbies to seminars – happening for a few years now. The brutal truth is that we have not supported him enough and we need to do better.
That starts with going to the actual derby, so if you want to do some fishing on the 18th, email Cliff and give him some support.
Watch this space for more info about the upcoming Tunkwa Lake Derby Cliff is also quarterbacking.
We had a really great turnout for our April 14 Club Meeting at Wildeye. The topic was bear hunting in preparation for the two club bear hunts coming up, but it really turned into a fantastic knowledge swap.
We started with the bare minimums needed to legally and safely hunt bears, and after that the organizers guided the discussion through all the logical sub-topics.
What developed was a really great Q&A based off that discussion between some very experienced bear hunters and those of us who are just getting started.
By the time we were done we probably had 30 people at the tables and standing around.
We’ve been using a WhatsApp group for day to day communication and two funny things happened. First, people who I assumed had met each other because they’ve been interacting on WhatsApp for months actually got a chance to meet face to face, so that was great, and the second thing was that the WhatsApp group jumped to 28 members.
If you’re not in that group you can join it with the QR code.
Dana also posted a great video to Instagram that tells more about the event.
