OUTLOOK Wow! Spring has sprung and she has done it in style! We will see more epic weather this weekend. The number of fishing opportunities this time of year is awesome. The temps will drop a little over the next couple of days but it will still be well above seasonal norms. We have some cool stuff in the report this week. If you are going through the gear on your boat getting ready for the summer and are finding that your tools have rusted over the winter, we have a solution to make sure it never happens again. KMDA Tool Savers have been on our boats for a season now and we love them. Check out the product feature below and never struggle with…

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 of things, we want to talk a little about what has been on all dedicated saltwater anglers’ minds – the potential chinook conservation measures.  There is detailed information in Jason’s saltwater report this week related to the potential measures.  We are asking all concerned anglers to write a letter. A decision from the minister of fisheries is imminent and every letter will make a difference. Stop reading right now, scroll…

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 mix of sun and cloud it should be good winter fishing weather. More steelhead reports keep rolling in on all our major steelhead systems. Alex was out on the Vedder last weekend so be sure to check out his report for the latest. On the bulltrout front it is still too cold to start thinking about salmon fry hatching but the second we get some warm weather this will change….

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 weather watch this week and it is tough to predict what we will see. If you missed it last week we walked you through some of the websites and apps that we use to try and make sense of the weather and river levels so if you missed that check it out in in the link. This is an interesting time of year and we are hoping for some warmer…

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 the forecast over the next couple days it looks like we can continue to see this “unpredictable” weather (we are quoting the Weather Channel). This unpredictability has also made fishing predictions for the weekend a challenge. With this in mind we are going to keep the report brief and touch on what you need to watch if you are thinking about heading out. First off, you all want to get…

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 see a 10-20 day cold spell around February and there is no way to sugar coat it, fishing gets hard. The only bright side is that our amazing BC steelhead are not as affected by cold as bulltrout or resident rainbows and reports this week were better than we expected. It has slowed with the cold but if you are getting out you still have a real chance for steelhead…

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 this week is the rain we can expect today. On paper it is a sizable 20-30ml bump of water. We do not think it will blow things out but hopefully it will colour the water and should take the edge off the cold weather to come. We expect fishing to be solid for Saturday and Sunday but if it remains cold into next week we will see fishing slow. We…

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 weekend and though the fishing was not hot they managed a few nice fish on Sunday.  Alex was out on the water this weekend as well but he was out in the Valley so he has the latest from the Vedder. Check out both of their reports this week for more information. Jason is away in Costa Rica soaking up the sun! It is a family vacation but they have managed to…
