Outlook Wow, what a week of weather! Unfortunately it is not going to last and it looks as though we will get rain all weekend. Fortunately the rain is a good thing for a number of our fisheries. Some rivers are extremely low and could really use the rain, while some rivers need more dry…
Outlook Where is the rain? This past week has been a dry one! We are hoping that this will come to an end very soon. The Capilano River has remained very low with the lack of rain, making fishing difficult. Interior lakes have been the place to be lately. We have had some great reports…
Outlook June is here! The summer solstice is right around the corner and so are our summer time fisheries. The Capilano River has been producing some coho salmon, but overall, it has been a slow start to the season. Poor wind conditions have made Saltwater fishing a challenge, limiting anglers to more in-shore areas. Coho…
Outlook Summer is now in full swing! July is a very exciting time for most anglers in the Lower Mainland. Summer salmon fishing is going to start to heat up in our local waters, both fresh and salt. We are looking forward to chinook salmon fishing in the Chilliwack River which will open July 1st….
Outlook June is flying by, and we are looking forward to a great summer of different fishing opportunities. The Saltwater salmon fishing has been good this past week over at Thrasher. The fishing will soon be much closer to home as the Bell Buoy and the North Arm are starting to produce. The Caribou region…
Outlook For many anglers, this is a very exciting time of year. Most of our spring fisheries have ended and our summer fisheries are starting to kick off! Warm summer weather from this past week has sent the rivers deeper into freshet and most likely past the point of return. Its time to get your…
Outlook It is that time of year again! Drift rods and two handed rods are being laid to rest and stillwater and saltwater gear is being dusted off. Interior lakes are icing off, turning over and the fishing is starting to heat up. Our lower mainland river systems are in full freshet bringing another steelhead…
Outlook It has been a beautiful week for weather here in the lower mainland. We are still a month away from summer, yet it feels like it is already here! Aside from the Capilano, our lower mainland rivers are now in freshet. Local lakes are fishing very well for stocked rainbow trout. We are also hearing…
Outlook The weather this past week has been very typical for late may in the lower mainland. The blast of summer weather we experienced earlier in the month has made way for more seasonal conditions. We are getting very close to beach fishing for coho. We have already seen a few anglers trying their luck…
Outlook With the past little while showing us some nice (and welcomed) weather, fishing has started to pick up across the board- in both the fresh and saltwater. With the action on local lakes continuing to be good, rivers being rewarding, and the ocean being kind, one can only expect it to get better over…
Outlook With the warm Spring temperatures finally showing themselves on a constant and steady basis, as expected, rivers are starting to come up. Warm weather, April showers, and inevitable snow-melt are all factors that play a key role in how long the rivers will hold their shape before blowing out. So far all the local…
Outlook Well, if you’ve looked out the window at all in the last day or so you’ll be well aware that April showers have arrived! Local lakes have been fishing well, interior lakes are becoming more and more ice free, and fish are starting to feed. With the warmer temperatures starting to be more constant,…
OUTLOOK: Over the last week or so the lower mainland has seen the fish and fishing activity increasing. From the stocking of local lakes to the quest for wild steelhead, anglers alike are getting outside to take advantage of this spring weather that has finally started to show up. With the forecast calling for…
Outlook: Well the rain has shown up and the river levels have been spiking during the day then falling again with the cold nights. At the same time, the water levels are getting higher and some more fish have pushed into the local rivers. The weather will continue to be wet over the weekend with…
Outlook: Where are the cutties? Anyone seen some? Should we put in a “missing trout” report? We have heard reports from the valley of great hatches of stoneflies and fry showing up but water levels have not been cooperating and the bi-product of that is few cutties have been seen and caught. We hope this…
Outlook: As the weather continues to be unstable so has the fishing. This means that those of you that are able to put the time in on the water will eventually hit it right and have success. As you can see below, the weather will be a little unsettled over the weekend but that the…
Outlook: The temperatures are rising a bit now as we are closer to full spring weather. Vancouver is expecting rain on the weekend with periods of heavy rain on Sat and Sun. In the Squamish valley they are expecting some snowfall on Saturday but then it turns to a mix of sun/cloud as the temperatures…
Outlook: Well, February gave us some more of that Vancouver winter that we have not seen alot of this season. I was amazed to see as much snow as we did in 48hrs here earlier in the week. Of course, this snow was gone by Wednesday in Vancouver! This snow means that you need to…
