It looks like another great forecast for winter river fishing. With rain yesterday and a little more today it should hold river levels and keep things from getting too low and clear. We have heard more reports of steelhead on the Chilliwack and egg fishing continues to be good on the Squamish and Stave. Check out the freshwater section of the report for more details. The forecast is also looking pretty good for those of you who are looking to heads out on the salt this weekend.  Combined with favorable tides it will be a great weekend to hit the water.  Jason has more details in his report this week so be sure to give that a read.  The video report this week is packed…

OUTLOOK We have a beautiful forecast coming into the weekend. When we say beautiful, it is not all sunshine and lollipops.  We will be seeing some rain but for a winter fisherman it looks perfect. They are forecasting a bit of rain Thursday (as we are writing the report) with more to come on Friday and Saturday then a shift to relatively nice weather on Sunday/Monday. The other one you want to pay attention to is the temperature. She is going to be warm! At least for the time of year. This warm rain will rise river levels, get fish moving and feeding. We expect good fishing over the weekend on all our major river systems so if you can make it out this weekend it should be worth it!   Below…

OUTLOOK As expected last week’s rain hit the river’s around the lower mainland hard but not quite as hard as we expected. If you were watching the weather, there were some excellent windows to get out fishing. The funny thing is we are looking at a very similar weather report this week. We are going to see a big dump of water Saturday. Check out Matt’s Video report for a detailed look at the weather. It’s going to be interesting because we can use last week as a gauge to have a solid prediction of what to look for this week. As predicted the fishing has been good after the blow out so if you listened to the report, watched the weather and got out…

OUTLOOK Nasty weather inbound?! We have a question mark here because the weather reports over the last 3 weeks have forecast bad weather multiple times but it really never came to pass. That said this one looks like a doozy and we expect it will be hard for the weatherman to get it wrong. We have a massive dump of rain coming on Saturday and if the numbers hold true it will affect all our major river systems in a big way. Right now, they are forecasting 50-70mm and have a weather warning in effect up in Squamish with less but still significant ran for the Fraser Valley as well. It is rare to see a weather report of this magnitude. We are concerned not…

OUTLOOK We wish everyone a great Remembrance Day long weekend and once you have had time to pay your respects it looks like a good weekend to get out on the water! We will see a little rain on Saturday and that should help colour up the waters of our local rivers. This is a good thing because as it stands the river are getting low. There is more water coming up the valley than the Squamish but we do not expect things to get too dirty. Check out the details on the Vedder and Squamish in the report below. Over the last week we have seen improving chum numbers. Though the numbers are still concerning there have been some positive reports and when looking…

OUTLOOK The weather looks great for the upcoming weekend. We will get a touch of rain today and then it is clear skies right into next week. We could see some issues with clear water if it stays cold next week but as it stands, things look great for the weekend for our river anglers.    On the saltwater front it’s time to hit the water and do a bit of scouting for some winters.  Today was a no go for fishing given the winds but things improve a bit as we look to the weekend but be sure to check your marine forecast before you head out.    This week we look at the Vedder, Stave, Squamish and Harrison. Matt has details on the weather and overall trends in…

OUTLOOK She’s Going to Rain! That’s the report.  Actually, as we look at water levels right now it might not be the whole story. There is a ton of rain in the forecast but it has been downgraded from biblical levels to just heavy rain and with that downgrade you might see some windows of fishable water. Overall, we expect things to blow out on the major systems but keep your eyes on the water graphs and the forecast. We have intel on the Vedder where fishing has been excellent this week, we have updates on the Harrison were fishing has been a little more challenging as well as some info on the Squamish and Stave. On the lake front many local lakes have recently…

OUTLOOK We want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and hope that you can get out for some fishing with the extra day off. The good news is the weather continues to be great for salmon fishing. That doesn’t mean warm dry weather. Good fall salmon weather means a mix of light to medium rainfall with the odd day of clear skies and cold nights to clear up the rivers. It looks like there will be more of this in the forecast for the weekend.  For your weekly dose of Matt Madryga (best comment ever) – Matt has a detailed look at the weather and water levels this weekend in the Friday fishing report YouTube edition. The one liner is that there should be excellent…
