OUTLOOK  Happy Friday!  We are looking forward to another great weekend on the water.  We have a good week for weather and things are cooling but there is still no rain in sight.  Our best wishes go out to those in the Interior facing fire issues.   For those that are looking forward to pink fishing as we write this…

OUTLOOK  It looks like more sunny weather is incoming.  Temperatures will not be as hot as two weeks ago but, it will be bumping a little above seasonal averages.  Obviously, we would love to see some moisture and cool weather for both the fire situation and for lake fishing but, the heat has beaten down the water levels on our rivers and the Chilliwack and the Skagit are coming…

OUTLOOK  Welcome to July.  Wow, it was hot last week, we hope everyone found a way to stay cool. Prayers and best wishes go out to the residents of Lytton.    Besides causing major problems across the province, the heat has also shifted fisheries.  River levels rose in many areas.  We didn’t see major rises on too many of the Lower Mainland rivers, but we…

OUTLOOK  Heat wave incoming!  It looks like another amazing week of weather, but the heat has some caveats when it comes to fishing.  Local lake trout fishing will slow with this heat.  We have some details as to how to deal with this in that section below.   Interior lakes will still fish well at higher elevation, but fish will be going deep.  Early season shallow…

OUTLOOK Freedom! Freedom at last! We are all very excited about the announcement on the 15th  which lifted the restrictions on regional travel.  It is great to see the numbers headed in the right direction.  We are also super excited about the 14-day weather forecast. Summer is coming right on time! We should see an…

OUTLOOK  June is moving fast and everyone has fingers crossed for the travel restrictions to be lifted on the 15th.  With this in mind, Sterling has an interior lake update where fishing has been good but is shifting.  He will go through the bugs and strategies below.  Local lakes are still worth looking at this weekend too.  A handful were stocked at the…

OUTLOOK  What a week of weather!  This little hot spell on the coast was well received, but it has tweaked a few fisheries.  Unfortunately, it looks as though it will be back to the mid-teens for the weekend, but that is not exactly a bad thing for fishing.   We have heard reports from the interior that the lower elevation lakes in the 1800-2200ft range…

OUTLOOK  May is moving along quickly and we are almost into June.  We are all looking forward to the middle of next month when travel restrictions are hopefully lifted.  We wish the province had declared fishing “essential” and allowed travel but, if everything goes as planned, we are all eagerly awaiting the middle of next…

We had hoped we would have a more positive update on regulations but unfortunately DFO has yet again chosen to ignore science and data.  After an inexcusably long wait DFO has finally provided the subsequent Fisheries Notice (see below for the full notice) to the interim regulations put out in April.     We couldn’t say it…
