OUTLOOK Another perfect-looking weekend of fishing weather is incoming! When we say perfect weather, you might be looking out the window on Friday scratching your head. If the weather man is on his game, you will see clouds and even a little rain Friday. This is a good thing to keep water cool and fish happy. Rolling into Saturday and pushing right through next week we will see low to mid 20s with a mix of sun and cloud. It also looks as though the wind in the strait will be low so it should be good for crossing. Always check before you head out because this can change fast.  There are lots of good sites to check – we use the government site for…

OUTLOOK  We have another beautiful weekend coming!  Temperatures will be in the mid to low 20s with sun and a mix of cloud.  We are also seeing pretty good long-term wind forecasts out in the straight.  Time to go fishing!   In this week’s report, we have an interesting piece from Sterling on small stream nymphing and when to break out the euro nymphing setup vs the indicators.   For the gear anglers, Gavin is here with an overview of some unique beach fishing lures that you may not have tried.  For years the standard buzz bomb and spinner have been the recommended lures of choice for beach fishing around Vancouver.  They definitely work but, as many of you know, it pays to get creative.  Gavin goes…

OUTLOOK  The rain was a nice break from the heat this week and it was also a good thing for a number of our fisheries. We are back to nice weather this weekend with temps in the high 20s so it should be a good weekend to get out on the water. In this week’s report, we have a couple of interesting updates. The first one is on the product front. We have BNR soft beads in stock! These took the salmon world by storm over the last 3 seasons. Large soft plastics are not a “new” thing when it comes to salmon river fishing but BNR’s peg system allows anglers to “peg” the soft plastic an inch or two above a hook. This makes…

OUTLOOK Happy Long Weekend! We hope everyone is enjoying the sun. It looks as though another weekend hot of weather is incoming. There is good news for those who do not like the heat though. We will see some mixed cooler weather starting Tuesday and for both the folks that don’t like melting and the fishing conditions, cooler weather is a good thing. For all of our saltwater anglers this is a big report!  In both the video and written version of the report we look at recent coho reports, upcoming new chinook retention opportunities and some up-to-date info on the sockeye numbers. Spoiler alert – We still don’t know for sure if there will be a sockeye opening but the numbers are interesting.    In…

OUTLOOK  This weekend is shaping up to be a great weekend to get out on the water!  The weather is looking excellent and it will be good to get out there before the hot weather expected next week sets in.  This week, we have reports from the Capilano, both from the river and from the beach.  Taylor has a report from the Chilliwack/Vedder with a focus on how to catch chinook as we are getting into prime time for that fishery.  For the saltwater anglers, we’ll be back next week with a full report.  Fishing across the strait continues to be good but it may be tricky to get there the latter part of this weekend so be sure to keep an eye on the…

OUTLOOK  It’s the middle of July and with that means a few opportunities for retention for the saltwater anglers.   Jason has a quick report this week and for those looking for more details on the new regulations that are in place, as of today, be sure to familiarize yourself with the fisheries notifications that were released late in the afternoon of July 8.    For freshwater anglers, we have reports this week on the Chilliwack, Vedder and a look at the water levels for some interior rivers.     Matt is back this week with video version of the report with details on all of the above and more.  Have a watch of that here:  Last, but not least, we are looking to add to our team and are…

OUTLOOK Happy Canada Day Everyone! Happy Canada Day! We hope everyone has some time this weekend to enjoy the great Canadian outdoors.  We have good weather for today and Saturday but will see some rain Sunday through Tuesday. We have good weather for today and Saturday but will see some rain Sunday through Tuesday. There is lots of fishing news this week as well because July 1 marks a number of key turning points in the seasons including openings on a number of rivers. For those interested in the Skagit we have an update on the Skagit Park access. There is good news on that front but we will also look at water levels across the lower province. The water levels news is not so good…

OUTLOOK  Summer is here and is looks like she is going to teach Spring a lesson about what an epic weekend should look like. If the weather man gets it right, we will see high 20s Saturday through Monday and we hope everyone can take advantage of it and get out enjoy mother nature.    With the warmth, things are going to change in the fishing world. We expect good lake fishing this weekend but if this trend of warmer weather sticks around we can expect lake water to warm up and trout fishing to slow. We take a look at our local lakes below because we probably only have a couple weeks left of low water temps and good fishing but there are still lots…

OUTLOOK  It is family fishing weekend and Father’s Day! The bad news is that we are in for another unseasonably cool weekend. The good news is that the cool spring is making for some excellent fishing conditions that are well worth taking note of.   If you haven’t heard of Family Fishing Weekend, it is an annual celebration of fishing that coincides with the Father’s Day weekend each year. This year, the three-day event falls this weekend from Friday June 17th to Sunday June 19th.   All basic fresh and saltwater licences are free this weekend so it is a great opportunity get together with family and friends and try fishing! Check out all of the details here.  In this week’s report, we will look at a couple fisheries…
