OUTLOOK We hope everyone enjoyed the snow days and were able to stay safe and warm! We can appreciate if not many of you went out fishing as conditions were tough. Things are going to get interesting on the fishing front now that the snowstorm has passed. With warm wet weather hitting the entire coast…
OUTLOOK Incoming cold snap! If you poked your head out the door at all in the last 24 hours you will know that we are in the middle of our first real cold snap of the winter. With it, fishing will slow down across the board. Reports were great on both the saltwater and rivers…
OUTLOOK Happy New Year everyone! The good winter fishing weather continues! We need to define this a little. You may be scratching your head at this statement if you are looking out the window at drizzly less than pleasant weather. For winter fishing weather we want to see reasonably warm temperatures with waves of wet…
OUTLOOK We can’t believe we are sitting down to write the last Friday Fishing Report of 2023! Where did the year go? We wish you all a happy and healthy start to the new year and look forward to seeing you in the shop or on the water in 2024. For those of you who haven’t…
OUTLOOK Happy almost Christmas everyone! We hope you all are having a good holiday season no matter what you are celebrating. We also know that the season can be a bustle. If you have loved ones who are fishers or have loved ones asking you what you want for Christmas, a gift card is always…
OUTLOOK This week we have a short report but it is packed with details if you plan to Steelhead on the Chilliwack or hit the sea to sky this season. Last week we looked at an overview of how to fish for Steelhead on the Chilliwack. This week Taylor takes a little deeper dive on…
OUTLOOK December is moving fast, and it is time to start thinking steelhead! It is still early but, for the guys and girls who get out now, the scouting will pay off in January. The water levels have been up and down across the Lower Mainland this week and with good flows for this weekend…
OUTLOOK We have hit December and though many folks are thinking about the holiday season and not about fishing, there are still some cool, no pun intended, fisheries worth looking at if you are brave and don’t mind dealing with the weather. We have a storm in the mix for this weekend but when things…
OUTLOOK As we close in on December, we are going to see some cooler nighttime temperatures over the next week, and this will drop river levels substantially across the Lower Mainland. This will mean getting more technical with your float and fly rigs. Lightening up leaders and dumbing down presentation colours is the ticket. We…
OUTLOOK As we head into the back half of November things are looking good for fishing. We have a little precipitation in the forecast and the rivers have been dropping so they could use a little water. The reports we are getting are solid across the board so now is the time to get out…
OUTLOOK Well, it looks like we have another round of wet weather rolling through this weekend but, depending on where you are planning a trip, it is still worth keeping an eye on river levels and getting out there if the levels don’t get too high! We continue to hear good reports from the East…
OUTLOOK Fall Storm Incoming – We have already seen rivers rising today (Friday) and more water is coming with the bulk of it hitting tomorrow. It is safe to assume that river anglers will see high water across the board, and everyone should be watching the levels closely when planning a trip. https://wateroffice.ec.gc.ca/map/index_e.html Below you…
OUTLOOK Well, we are wrapping up October with some great fishing opportunities across the board. With this recent cold snap, rivers are clearing, and things are dropping on most of the major systems. In this week’s reports we have updates from the Squamish, the Harrison and the Chilliwack systems as well as our local and…
OUTLOOK BOOM! Well, the water we were looking for came. Though many anglers who were out had to contend with blown out dirty water conditions over the last week, on most of our systems the bump of water will help fishing when the rivers come back into shape. On the weather front, we are going…
OUTLOOK We were expecting more rain this weekend but as we write the report Friday it looks as though the bulk of the precipitation will come early next week. The reports we have been receiving all week are good, but rain would be nice. It is well worth getting out this weekend, but it might…
OUTLOOK Happy Thanksgiving! We are looking forward to another long weekend and with it some extra time out on the water! If we could sum up this week’s report in two words, it would be – Go Fishing! We have an amazing weekend of weather in the forecast, and the reports all week have been…
OUTLOOK October is just around the corner and Salmon season is in full swing! With the rain last week and temperatures cooling we have had good reports coming in all week! In this report we will look at all the major systems. They are all worth fishing this time of year. We have details on…
OUTLOOK We are getting to the back end of September and with it we are seeing many of our classic salmon river fisheries ramp up. Pink Fishing on the Fraser is now closed but there are still some opportunities to target fresh pinks on the Squamish and Chilliwack. Just note that there are now many…
