Friday Fishing Report, November 25
Well, we’ve been asking for rain and it looks like we will be getting it and will continue to get it in a big way over the weekend. The weatherman is calling for 15 to 50 plus mm of precipitation, Saturday through Sunday. A flush of water might push in some of those late waves…
What’s New Wednesday, Simms WS Flex Glove
Over the years the one thing that I’ve always had a hard time finding is a good glove for winter steelheading. Most gloves are bulky and cause your running line to slip when you want to shoot the line. And once they get wet they stay wet for the entire day. The half-fingers work well…
Tuesday Fishing Report
Although the coho fishery is tapering off, the rain for the last couple of days will most likely bring a late wave of coho into the local rivers. So don’t put away your coho tackle yet.

The British Columbian Egg Hatch!!!
In British Columbia we are not only blessed with an amazing run of salmon in the fall but we are also blessed with an amazing opportunity to catch plumb trout and char behind spawning salmon. These aggressive trout and char are feasting on salmon eggs which are being pushed downstream of the redds. This is…
Tuesday Fishing Report
Brrrr! It’s cold out there and the rivers are dropping fast and getting clear after having come up nicely on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There were some fresh coho and chum that rolled in on those days and there was some good fishing on the Chehalis, Harrison, and Lower Squamish. Expect things to be pretty…
