The Pacific Angler Outlook
We have seen a real transition this last week as those hot late summer days of September have melted away, replaced by cooler temperatures and overcast, rainy days. These are the signs that the Fall salmon fisherman have been waiting for, it signals the start of the river fishing! Every bump of rain is going to bring in fresh runs of chinook, coho, and chum from now until late November and the saltwater fishing this year was exceptional for coho and chinook so there is a great chance that your favorite fall fishery is going to experience a strong return this fall.

This is too bad as all those huge Kamloops rainbows are feeding heavily, packing on the pounds before a long winter...
