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 The May Long Weekend is upon us and it looks like a great weekend to get outdoors locally and enjoy some time on the water. As many of you know, decisions were made last week re: our chinook fishery and the SFAB proposals for the Vancouver area were not accepted. Despite these proposals being specifically designed…
OUTLOOK It is a big week for announcements on the retail front. First up – Reel West Coast – Brendan Morrison’s fishing show has dropped merchandise and we have a great selection in stock! From hats, including youth hats, to buffs and dry bags we’ve got it all. Swing by the shop to pick up yours today or give us…
OUTLOOK It looks like another good-looking fishing weekend on the horizon. We have been in many ways blessed locally over the last 3 weeks. It has been not too hot to blow out rivers and not too cold to be unpleasant outdoor weather. With a little rain, temps in the low teens and some sun, it looks like the trend will continue for the weekend. We were holding our…
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…
OUTLOOK Happy Long Weekend Everyone! It looks like we will see some rain but this is a good thing for the river fisherman. In this week’s report we have info on the Squamish, the Vedder as well as the Harrison and the Stave. The weather was a little interesting last weekend but we are hearing good cutthroat reports and with some overcast drizzly days this weekend all the rivers should…
OUTLOOK We are almost in May. May is a time of flux for weather and fisheries but, there are lots of opportunities worth looking at. We have still not seen regulation changes for saltwater chinook fishing but on the 1st of May bottom fishing opens in some areas of the Vancouver local waters. The weather has also not kicked freshet into…
OUTLOOK Well, the world continues to move in interesting ways. We hope that everyone is staying safe, respecting health measures and also enjoying proper social distancing – ideally alone, in nature with a fishing rod. If you haven’t already, we remind everyone to please familiarize yourself with current Public Health orders/travel restrictions and focus on your local waters. The weather this week put…
OUTLOOK Epic weather incoming for the weekend! We are going to see temperatures in the 20’s across the lower half of the province! This means we should see most of our local fisheries picking up. We have seen relatively low water on our local rivers and the cool night temps. have kept the water clear. This warm high-pressure system might change things and we should see some snow melt this…
OUTLOOK Spring has sprung and we are seeing great weather in the forecast. Today’s rain might help out some of our valley fisheries and we will see temps break the double-digit mark in the Lower Mainland next week. We might even see double digits in the interior at some lower elevations. With this in mind, Sterling has an update on interior lake…
OUTLOOK We are almost at the end of March. Though we haven’t seen crazy warm weather, temps are holding in the high single digit range and it makes for great fishing weather. This weekend, we are going to see some rain and like last week this is a good thing. Rivers are low and can use the water. Hopefully, the…
OUTLOOK Local lakes are getting stocked, temperatures are rising and we have some rain in the forecast. Though the rain may not be ideal for spending time outdoors it should be good for fishing in most areas. The rivers could use a little water and overcast days are better for spring trout fishing. This week in the report Alex has a piece on how…
OUTLOOK It looks like we will see spring continue to poke her head out with temps getting into double digits in many areas across the lower mainland this week. That said, the night temps remain low, so warm clothes and gloves are still not a bad idea for the mornings and evenings. We should see a mix of sun…

OUTLOOK Welcome to March! We are pumped to welcome a much better fishing month. Overall, February is probably the toughest fishing month in the 12-month cycle fishing in the Lower Mainland. The good news is that March is actually one of the better months. Why? It is a month of transition. Temps warm up, the salmon fry hatch and there is lots to do if you love…
OUTLOOK It looks like we are going to see some more solid weather this weekend. Temperatures will be well within seasonal averages and there will only be a little bit of precipitation. There might be some wind concerns for the saltwater guys but overall a good weekend to get out. Water bumped up last week in many of our systems…
