OUTLOOK Happy Ugly Sweater Day Everyone! We hope that you are all having a safe December and we figured some ugly Christmas sweaters are always worth a smile. With Christmas edging closer, we have some more great gift ideas. This week Zach was thinking about the fly tiers out there and we have some really…
OUTLOOK Christmas is just around the corner and although we try to keep the fishing report focused on the fishing, we also know that most of you love to get fishing related Christmas stuff under the tree. With this in mind, we are announcing extended shopping hours to make it easier to get into the shop and we also have another gift idea list. This week the wish list is…
OUTLOOK For most, December is not a “fishing month” but there can still be some pretty cool opportunities to get out. We obviously ask everyone going fishing to respect public health orders but we feel that fishing is still a great social distancing activity and important for mental and physical health. This week, we have updates on the Chilliwack where though salmon fishing is pretty much…
OUTLOOK It’s hard to believe that next week is December! As we wrap up November, many have been asking if we are going to have a Black Friday Sale. While the answer to that is not this year, not to worry – we are still planning on hosting our annual Boxing Week Sale, with appropriate COVID precautions in place. If…
OUTLOOK As we are heading into the back half of November, we are dodging the usual late fall storms and high-water levels, but when things have lined up, solid salmon reports are still coming in. We have updates on the Vedder, Harrison and Stave in the freshwater fishing section below. There is still good salmon river fishing but we are now past “prime time” and are looking to the next fisheries. One that is…
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…
