Outlook: This past week has been a good one for the local Vancouver fishing scene. For river anglers steelheading has continued to be good on the Vedder River and our staff saw the first fry out and about in the backchannels while fishing for bulltrout and cutthroat trout. For the saltwater anglers the local Vancouver…
Outlook: What a difference a week makes. Last Friday we were praying for rain, and wondering if we would get any at all! Now it looks like the rain gods are smiling down on us with a good amount of precipitation forecasted on Friday, Sunday and into next week. While in the short term rain…
Pacific Angler Outlook: HAPPY NEW YEAR from the Pacific Angler Team – We had a busy 2012 and we are excited about 2013.

Pacific Angler Outlook: Well the blow out happened as predicted by the Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report! The rain didn’t hit the Valley until late morning on Tuesday but when it showed up in meant business. 50mm of rain blew out the Chilliwack and many of the other rivers in the Valley. This is exactly…
Pacific Angler Outlook: The story for the past week has been the cool weather conditions and dropping river levels. As of now all of the systems in the Lower Mainland and Sea to Sky Corridor are low and clear. But do not let that discourage you. The fish are still out there and the conditions…
It has been a busy week here at Pacific Angler with courses being held each night, everything from Steelhead on the Fly to Introduction to Fly Fishing.

Pacific Angler Outlook: Christmas season is here and the Pacific Angler staff have been decking the halls and putting together gift packages and ideas. This year you can get exactly what you want under the tree instead of tube socks or a Christmas sweaters – then again socks aren’t a bad idea. A couple pairs…
Pacific Angler Outlook: For the fishermen we tend to look at the calendar not in months but in fishing seasons. As Christmas marks that time of year to be merry it also marks the beginning of the winter steelhead season throughout the lower mainland. Yes, December is one of Pacific Angler’s favourite months. The anticipation…
Pacific Angler Outlook: Well, the world didn’t end so it’s been a pretty good week. And oh yeah, some fish have been caught as well.

Pacific Angler Outlook: Well, it is another week in paradise for the Vancouver angler. While the rest of Canada is taking out their ice fishing rods we are hooking into chrome salmon, steelhead, feisty bulltrout, searun cutthroat, or absolutely epic sturgeon. Check out the picture below of Brian, who recently just got into fly fishing…

Pacific Angler Outlook: Wow, how have we gotten to the last week of November? While this month has flown by there has been some amazing fishing.

Pacific Angler Outlook The big story this week is still the weather forecast with NO RAIN IN SIGHT! The good news for fisherman is that it looks as though the fish have realized that they can’t wait any longer. The Pacific Angler staff had a number of reports confirming that salmon are simply disregarding the…
Pacific Angler Outlook Fall is in the air! The days are shorter, darker and yes, rain is (will be) a constant. For most normal people in Vancouver this brings on the first dose of fall/winter depression, but not for the keen Vancouver angler. The fall rains bring a smile across the many anglers throughout the…
Pacific Angler Outlook The staff at Pacific Angler almost forgot what rain looks like but Mother Nature seems determined to remind us. For the fall salmon angler rain can be both good news and bad news. The good news is the high water has brought in a ton of fresh salmon. The bad news has…
