OUTLOOK It is almost half way through November and its really starting to feel like winter out there. It looks like a wet week coming up and with cool temps, some of the precipitation may come as snow. If you are heading into the hills, make sure you’ve got a shovel and some tow straps in the trunk! Also, if you’re heading out, be sure to…
OUTLOOK Welcome to November everyone! We hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween. The weather has been interesting this week, with lots of rain and warmer temperatures for our major river systems and high water. We are hopeful this will change with a cooling trend and less rain. This week we have reports from the Squamish, Chilliwack and Harrison systems. The Fraser river bar fishery is also…
OUTLOOK It has been an interesting week with even more interesting weather. The weather has gotten seasonably warm and the subsequent rain and snowmelt spiked and dirtied up rivers that are fed from the snow pack. Rivers that are not melt fed are still good and some are in perfect shape. We have reports from the Stave, Harrison and Vedder in the freshwater section of the report and we also have info on the Squamish where there has been concern regarding the regulation…
OUTLOOK Big report this week. We consider this prime time for the Lower Mainland when it comes to salmon fishing. The Vedder is still going strong, peak chum migration is right now and reports from the Harrison and Stave are coming in consistently. The weather looks good for the weekend but, most important, the evening temps are…
OUTLOOK We hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving Long Weekend and enjoyed an extra day on the water or around the table with family. Last week we saw a ton of water but we also saw less water than was forecasted. Things came into shape on the river fast and we heard good river reports…
OUTLOOK A big storm is coming today and we will see how it effects things. In the video version of the report filmed earlier this week, Matt went out on a limb and bet against the weather man. As of filming time, the forecast was for 100mm+ over the long weekend. As of writing this outlook on Friday morning, the forecast has been…
OUTLOOK It’s been a big week, especially if you are a saltwater angler. With the September 1 regulation change we have been able to fish off the mouth of the Fraser all the way down to the South Arm. Tides are mellowing and for the most part the weather looks great for the weekend but be sure to…
OUTLOOK The first storm of the Fall season is rolling through as we write this report. This is big news and will shuffle things up on many of our fisheries. As we write this report, most of our rivers are blown out or are heading in that direction but, when things settle, expect excellent fishing. This week Taylor looks at the Vedder and we have some info on sturgeon fishing from Aidan. Zach…
OUTLOOK Last week we were excited about warm weather and a possible summer 2.0. Unfortunately, we did not tell them that we didn’t want a repeat of summer 2017 where we didn’t see the sun for days on end because of the smoke. While the smoke is not great for getting outside, we did see some cool outdoor photography this week. Looking into this weekend, the smoke doesn’t seem…
OUTLOOK Summer 2.0 continues with the weather looking amazing for this weekend! Light winds and sun here we come! In this week’s report we have info. for you from out in the Valley in addition to an update from the local and interior lakes as well as the local saltwater fishing. Out in the valley, the Vedder is low but we have heard of a few fish. We’ve…
OUTLOOK It is almost the end of August and we are starting to see hints of Fall. The weather should be good this weekend with daytime temps in the 20s and cooler nights. The spread of colder nights with warm days can be excellent for fishing. We also are in a time of shift with Fall just around the corner and that means we can start thinking…
OUTLOOK It looks like it will be a little wet for today and though maybe not ideal for going outdoors it is probably good for keeping forests damp and rivers from getting low. We have had a very high-water year but things are now getting low so it is good timing. If the weatherman is…
OUTLOOK We have hit the middle of August and it looks as though the weather will be a little warmer this weekend with temps in the high 20s by Sunday and then cooling off a bit next week. On the fishing front, this will hurt the lake fishing in the interior and we don’t have any updates this week. We will…
OUTLOOK What a long weekend! We hope everyone had a chance to get out and enjoy the great weather. We are getting hit with a little rain as we head into the weekend but this is a good thing to keep river levels stable and forests damp. This week we have updates on the Skagit and Thompson trout fisheries. Matt just got back from…
OUTLOOK Long weekend incoming! We were complaining about a cool summer. Summer must have been listening. We saw scorching heat this week with temps in the high 30s in the interior. It looks as though it will continue to be warm this weekend but she is letting off a little and it should be an amazing weekend to be out on the water. That said, the weather has shifted fishing…
OUTLOOK Summer is finally showing herself and we hope you are all having a chance to enjoy it responsibly. This week we have an update on Interior Lake fishing. Matt was up last weekend in the Kamloops region and Zach also make a trip at the end of last week. Matt will share his observations and a little on the strategies used in the lake section as well as…
OUTLOOK This week the weather looks good for Saturday and Sunday with a mix of sun and cloud. It’s forecasted to be very windy on the ocean this weekend which is typical when the warm weather rolls in. Be sure to review your marine forecasts before venturing out. On the 15th we saw the areas…
OUTLOOK We’ve got lots of good stuff in the report this week so we will keep the outlook brief. The weather looks “ok” but not great for the weekend. That said there are still options to get out. We have a detailed Skagit report, but the overall feel is that it is still too high…
