Outlook We are just past the midpoint of the month and all and all 2015 is off to a great start. It is still early for steelhead but I think everyone can say that the reports are all very encouraging and if things continue at this rate we are in for a very good season….
OUTLOOK More warm rain in the forecast!? If you look back at the last three months of reports it is almost entertaining to see how many times we have reported rainfall warnings and for the most part they have come with warm temperatures. This report is not going to break the trend. It looks like…
OUTLOOK The river levels are dropping nicely, there is no major rain in the forecast, winds will be good in the harbor and with only a little drizzle hitting the valley, the weekend should be good for both river fisherman and ocean anglers! In the report this week we have some great info on the…
Outlook This past week was a cold one in Vancouver, and with it came the first snow! Lucky for us, the weather is warming up nicely and should be much more enjoyable to fish in. Next week’s rain may blow out our Lower Mainland rivers, which is not a bad thing in the grand scheme…
Outlook A momentary break in the nasty weather has allowed the local rivers to drop into a high but fishable state. Unfortunately, more rain is expected over the weekend, and this will likely push the rivers back out of the realm of fishability. The good news is, next week is supposed to be dry for…
Outlook It has been an interesting week here in the Lower Mainland, and all of southwest British Columbia. We were hit by several intense Pacific storms bringing unseasonably warm temperatures and extreme amounts of precipitation in a short period of time. Many parts of the province have seen flooding and landslides, resulting in home evacuation…
Outlook It seems as though we are finally back to “normal” Vancouver weather. Last week’s cold snap has made way for mild and rainy weather. Friday’s rain will affect most of our Lower Mainland streams, although unlikely we may see them blow out for the weekend due to low freezing levels. Coho salmon season is…
Outlook It sure feels like winter here in Vancouver! Cold, clear days have the rivers dropping like a rock giving some awesome late season salmon fishing opportunities. The clear weather is forecasted to continued into next week with daytime temperatures warming slightly. The Squamish river is clearing up nicely, and fresh fish are still pouring…
Outlook Another week of wet weather is coming to a close, and we are very excited by the prospect of clear skies, cold mornings, and dropping rivers. With next to no rain in the forecast for this coming week, we should finally see our local rivers stay in shape for more than a few hours!…
Outlook It has been quite the week for wet weather here in Vancouver. The rivers are rising, and visions of steelhead are dancing in our heads! While some of us dream of winter steelhead soon to be arriving, others have been occupied with trout fishing and even some late salmon action. Although most rivers in…
Outlook We have seen some adverse weather this past week, and it looks like this theme will continue for some time. Up until the mass blow-out of the rivers across the lower mainland, the fall salmon fishing was quite good. There won’t be much in the way of fishing opportunities until the weather dries up…
Outlook We are finally experiencing consistent rainfall here in the Lower Mainland. Most of our rivers are flowing high and more rain is on the way. We may see the rivers blow out from the rain scheduled for the start of the weekend. As long as the clarity does not degrade too much, fishing on…
Outlook The fall salmon season is in full swing in the Fraser Valley. Although the Chilliwack is low and clear, it has been producing some beautiful coho and chinook. The other Fraser tributaries should have some coho and chum milling about. With rain in the forecast for the weekend and early next week, we should…
Outlook It has been a beautiful start to Autumn here in the Lower Mainland. The rain earlier in the week has made way for blue bird skies and cold crisp mornings. Freshwater salmon season is upon us, and some rivers are already fishing well. While some of the rivers in the Fraser Valley are already…
Outlook Another wet and wild weekend of fishing is upon us here in the Lower Mainland. Most of our rivers have been in and out of shape all week, and we are hoping for more stable conditions in the near future. Coho fishing in the Fraser Valley has been good when the conditions allow. Although…
Outlook Looks like fall has arrived and with it the beginning of some of our favorite fisheries! Saturday and Sunday may be the last summer weather of the year and we hope that the rainy forecast for next week is correct. The drizzle on Wednesday and Thursday did not do much to change river levels,…
Outlook It’s time to start thinking about salmon river fishing gear! And we don’t mean leader savers, bouncing betties and braided line. We are talking floats, spoons and flies for coho, chum and chinook! We are starting to hear the first reports of fish in the Fraser tributaries, and though it is still early, the…
Outlook The third annual Labour Day Chinook Classic was a success again this year. A big thank you to all our volunteers and congratulations to all our winners! The winning catch was 26.58 lbs which sent Graydon Harris and team home with $25,000. It was a great day on the water raising awareness and funds…
