OUTLOOK There is finally a warming trend COMING, or at least seasonal average temperatures for the next week. One thing we are not seeing is a substantial dump of rain. There are a few drizzles in the forecast but not enough to move river levels. With the warmer weather, we will start looking for salmon fry…
OUTLOOK First off, we wanted to start by thanking everyone who came out for our 2023 Stillwater Fly Tying Jam Session. It was amazing to see all the innovative lake patterns and we hope everyone who attended learned a thing or two. If you missed the event, or just want a little review of the…
OUTLOOK The weather is going to be a big focus over the next few weeks. Why? Typically, this is a time of transition, a time when things start getting warmer and fisheries pick up. When we look at the weekend forecast, the 14-day forecast and even into the 30-day forecast the outlook is not good….
OUTLOOK Big news this week on the saltwater regulations front! There is good news and bad news. It looks as though there might be areas close to Vancouver where they will “test” marked selective fisheries (MSF). In a nutshell what does this mean?

OUTLOOK We have an interesting week of weather coming and it’s well worth paying attention too if you are heading out on the water. There is a big storm on the horizon that is rolling in today. The majority of it will hit Vancouver and up the Sea to Sky corridor but enough water is…
OUTLOOK There is a solid weekend of fishing weather incoming but, a cold snap is on the horizon. With temperatures in the high single digits today through Sunday it looks like a good weekend to get out but, it is going to get cold Sunday and into next week so expect fishing to change. In…
OUTLOOK Seasonally normal weather incoming! It’s funny that we are excited about seasonably “normal” weather but, for the last 5 months, we have seen very little “normal” weather. This week’s forecast is not perfect for fishing but we can say it is a “good” forecast and should be more predictable in how it affects our…
OUTLOOK Friday the 13th and an INCOMING STORM WARNING! As we are writing the report, we are seeing a forecast that needs to be on your radar if you are heading out fishing over the next 5 days. The heavy rain is focused on the Sea to Sky Corridor but we will also see a…
