Vancouver Island. The frontier of Canada’s west coast. From seasides to summits, from coast to windswept coast it is a place of wild, untamed wonder. A land bursting with life, people and their stories in its wilderness. We hope you’ll join Benj Klassen, a 4th generation Islander as he shares stories, resources and conversations about the adventures to be had in this incredible place thousands have called home for generations.

We continue on to the second part of Derek’s time on the Wild Islander Podcast as he unpacks the learning curve of fly-fishing, where to look for advice/tip/tricks and become a better angler here on Van Isle. We talk about fish species, specifically trout, here on the Island and the never ending cycle of success and failures in our attempts to land them. If you love a good story, than Derek will be a real treat to listen to as he promotes his first novel “The Last Summer on the Sage” and his writings in Fly Fusion magazine. Be sure to follow along with his journey @derekrbird on Instagram. This episode is brought to you once again by Imagine Camping located with here on the Island: check out their pages on FB & Instagram where they have the Fireside Fork available for all your outdoor cooking needs. My family’s been using them for years and we love ‘em! Rust free, lightweight and supercooling: the perfect combo for any fireside meal ✌🏼
