Colliers GM Rob Whitworth is not one for putting. “I’d rather spend an afternoon losing gear on a river or fly fishing on a lake,” he says. The enthusiast describes one sunny afternoon fishing with a colleague on the Fraser River. After setting up the gear, he made his first cast out about 75 yards, the first time using a level wind reel.
“I felt a good pull, and thought I had a snag,” he says. But it wasn’t a snag. It was a 26-pound spring salmon. By the early afternoon, they'd hooked another 19-pound spring salmon and their limit of sockeye. “Sounds like a good fish tale, but it’s all true,” Rob says. “It beats golf any day of the week.”
