Cast and Blast returns

Fishers gear up for annual event

The annual Cast and Blast event is back and this year’s celebration of fishing culture in ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµappgoes down from Friday through Sunday (April 4 to 6).
Cast and Blast is a free event to celebrate steelhead culture and attempts to bring more unity and fun into the local angling community.
It kicks off on Friday (April 4) at Sunwolf with a bamboo rod jamboree from noon to 4 p.m., with a mini-fly golf skins tournament starting at 3 p.m. A barbecue follows and there is a fly tying demo at 5 p.m., a grass casting contest from 6 to 7 p.m. and tie off competition at 8 p.m.
Action continues on Saturday (April 5) with several seminars teaching everything from fly-tying to guides to fishing in specific regions in B.C. from 9:30 to 11 a.m. A women’s fly-fishing intro class starts at noon, with more presentations and demos spread throughout the afternoon. A fly fishing film festival ends the night starting at 8 p.m.
On Sunday (April 6) it’s the Western Canada Speycasting Championship at Alice Lake from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Competitors use 15-foot rods and long belly lines to cast for distance.
Cast and Blast takes place at Sunwolf Resort, on the ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµappValley Road at the Cheakamus crossing. Sunwolf’s Fergie’s restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner during the event.
