OUTLOOK  October is here!  We have been hearing great reports but, the weather has been interesting over the last two days.  All that rain yesterday hit our rivers and they have spiked.  We are writing the report late Thursday so keep an eye on things because we are hopeful that things drop fast and there will be some great fishing into the back end of the weekend.   In this week’s…

OUTLOOK  River salmon season is in full swing.  We have been hearing good reports from the Vedder and Capilano this week.  We have also seen some interesting numbers in the Albion test fishery on the Fraser.  Chum numbers in the test sets are picking up so we should see those fish show up in the Harrison, Stave, Vedder and other Fraser tributaries over the next…

OUTLOOK  Fall is coming.  There is a bite in the air and we have the first big storm of the season forecast for today.  With it, we expect fall salmon fishing in our rivers to really ramp up.  Harrison, Capilano, Chilliwack, and systems up the Sea to Sky highway will be worth looking at after things settle with the rain.  It will only be a…

OUTLOOK  The first week of September is in the books and everyone is settling into Fall routines.  We’re looking forward to getting back into the classroom this Fall with our upcoming courses here at the shop.       On the fishing front, there were some openings in the last week for pink salmon so be sure to check out those…

OUTLOOK  Welcome to September!   Summer just flew by – who can believe that school is just round the corner.  We’ll start this week with our saltwater anglers – chinook fishing did open on the first of the month even if there was a little confusion without an official announcement but it is open and Jason has details on what…

OUTLOOK  It’s almost September – where has the summer gone?  September is one of the best months to be an angler in the Lower Mainland.  There are tons of options to get out on the water and the reports this week have been good.   In this week’s report, we have an overview of some of the major fisheries so…

OUTLOOK  We were happy to see temperatures hovering within seasonal averages and the water temperatures on many of our local rivers are holding at reasonably safe levels this past week.  The weather this week looks like more of the same.  This weekend we will have a mix of cloud, a little rain, and some sun. Temperatures increase early next week but at least for now there are no more major heatwaves forecasted in the next 14 days.   We have seen some wind issues for those…

OUTLOOK  Another heat wave has been sweeping the province and with it a mix of fishing conditions.  We saw some ok pink fishing up Sea to Sky earlier in the week but, unfortunately, on Wednesday the heat pushed things back into a completely dirty state.  That said, there are fish in the system and Alex has an update in his report.  Sterling tunes in…

OUTLOOK  We hope everyone had a great sunny long weekend.  This weekend is looking a bit different with some rain in the forecast and though it might not be as nice for an outing in the sun, we need the water.  With the exception of the Squamish, all our local rivers are low.    In this week’s report we have  low water reports for the Skagit and Chilliwack and we have…
