OUTLOOK For the last two months every time we have sat down to write the report, we have been looking out the window at utterly miserable weather. This week things are changing and if the weather report holds true it is changing in a big way! BUT – Before we get into the fishing side…
OUTLOOK We don’t know what is with Thursday nights and writing the report but it seems like every day we start working on this report the weather is nasty. The good news this week is this might be the last of it. The 14 day trend looks to be bringing much warmer weather and the…
OUTLOOK For the first time in three weeks we are happy to be writing the report without snow falling or snow in the short term forecast! We are looking at nice weather in the forecast for the weekend and straight through next week. It won’t be warm but with temps around 4-6 degrees and a…
OUTLOOK This is the 3rd week in a row that we having been writing this report (Thursday Evening) with a snowfall warning in effect for Friday. Last week the snow did not hit the Vancouver area as hard as expected but we still got a bunch of wet snow and slush. Again we are on…
OUTLOOK Well the snow has turned to rain and we can’t say that we’re not happy about that. The weather this week has been hard to predict and very inconsistent. We have seen lots of snow but also some warmer than expected temps with some crazy wind pushing it all around. When we look at…
OUTLOOK Welcome to winter boys and girls! When you look at the rest of the country (Winnipeg –23, Toronto –10 with freezing rain, Calgary –17 with snow) we really shouldn’t complain. That said we are in for a cold one this weekend with temperatures in the negatives and possible snow today. Almost every year we…
OUTLOOK We have a sizable dump of rain coming today and then some chilly weather coming for Sunday and into next week. We never like to see an extended period of negative degree weather. It drops the river levels and it shuts down the metabolism of our fish. The one good thing about the forecast…
OUTLOOK The weather looks pretty good for the weekend. We had some rain mid week and it helped the river levels. In a perfect world we would get a little more rain but as it stands the levels of both valley and sea to sky highway rivers look good. Matt was out on the Squamish on the…
OUTLOOK This was an interesting week on the weather front, heavy fog; warmer than normal temperatures and some pretty nice weather overall. It made for some good river days earlier in the week and when the saltwater boys could dodge the fog, the winter chinook fishing was solid. We have some rain in the forecast this weekend…
OUTLOOK The holidays are over, kids are back to school and everyone is getting back to the grind. For some this can be a little depressing. If this is you, take some time, plan some trips, a vacation, heck just a day trip out to the river or out in the boat. Fishing has picked…
OUTLOOK Winter storm incoming! Actually… incoming might not be the correct word. If you are reading this Friday afternoon, we are probably in the thick of it or with any luck it has moved through. A very moist Pacific frontal system stalled over the coast Thursday resulting in heavy rainfall for Metro Vancouver. The rain…
OUTLOOK 2018 is almost in the books and we hope that everyone had an excellent 2018 and enjoyed some time with friends and family this Christmas Season. For us it was an amazing year filled with good fishing, another boat down at our docks, a great team in the shop and countless great moments on…
OUTLOOK Christmas is almost here! We all hope you are having an awesome holiday season and making the most of Christmas parties, family and good friends. We also hope you have had the chance to sneak out for some fishing. If you are getting out, there are some great options right now. We have river…
OUTLOOK It feels like there has been a record amount of rain and there is more in the forecast. Obviously this is the ideal time for us to shamelessly plug our great selection of waterproof jackets. From gortex to rubber we have you covered. If that doesn’t work we have a big roll of saran…
OUTLOOK Christmas Season is upon us and it is a fun time at the store. The staff are all eyeing stuff they would like under the tree this season but we have also not forgotten about the fishing. We just saw the first major cold spell of the season. When things are cold and clear,…
OUTLOOK Well, we had lots of rain this week and that meant big high water on many of our rivers. While it was high it didn’t set high water level records, which is a good thing because though high water can wash out prime spawning habitat. With the high water fishing was a challenge but…
OUTLOOK The salmon season may be winding down but we have had very favourable conditions this week and there has been some very good fishing. Sometimes at this point of the season there are not many options but if you are thinking of escaping the bustle of Black Friday (no we are not doing a…
OUTLOOK Well it’s that time of year, mid November with short, dark and wet days. I hope you are reading this somewhere warm, perhaps chasing some fish on the flats or just relaxing in the sun. If not, then don’t despair, the weather this weekend looks great, with sun on both Saturday and Sunday and…
