OUTLOOK River levels did not bump up as much as we expected last week. The Squamish was relatively low for Matt’s course on the weekend and fishing was a challenge. We heard of a few steelhead and bulltrout but overall it was not hot. With more rain this week and Matt on the water again, check out his predictions for this weekend in the river section below. The Vedder pumped out some more good fish over the weekend and did not blow out with the rain but it started rising on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the weather report and the river levels this weekend! Max had his intruder course this week and even a number of very experienced tiers were impressed with his tricks,…

OUTLOOK We have spent a ton of time looking at the long term forecast over the last few days. We have focused on the long term because the short term forecasts have been downright depressing. Rain and wind hammered the coast all week and the rivers are very unstable. The positive news is that the long range forecast is looking good because it is getting cold. The unsettled weather is tapering off this weekend. Once again it’s hard to call if the improving weather will be enough to make this weekend good for fishing but if everything goes to plan hope is in sight. Cold weather my not be the best to fish in but cold weather is what we need to clear up the…

Outlook We got a reprieve from the heavy rain last week but this week we are back to the trend of rain leading up to the weekend. There is a big storm in the forecast for the north shore today and it could make fishing the Squamish area a challenge for the weekend. The weather forecast out the valley is not as bad and with any luck the Vedder will not blow out. The weatherman has been a little off this week so we will have to watch the river levels and see. Even if the weatherman is way off and only a little rain comes we expect most systems to rise and color up.  The silver lining is that last week we heard of…

Outlook Well the trend of heavy rain Wednesday, Thursday, Friday seems to have held off this week and though there is some rain in the forecast for the weekend it looks as though mother nature is throwing us a bone because many of our rivers got low this week. We will see some rain today and then a good dump on Sunday. We expect all rivers to fish well this weekend. We are hearing good reports off the Vedder, Squamish and Harrison so it’s time to Go Fishing! Check out the river reports below for more information! On the saltwater scene things haven’t been hot anywhere but they have been consistent. Check out the saltwater report at the end of the report for details. Whats…

Outlook It looks like another wet weekend is coming down the pipes. Heavy rain started last night and will ramp up Sunday. The weather man is forecasting over 50mm for both the valley and sea to sky corridor. Unfortunately this will most likely blow out most rivers but this week we had good reports across the board from the Squamish, Harrison, Stave and Vedder so when the rivers stabilize this trend should continue. With the warm weather last week we heard more whisperings of salmon fry being spotted wiggling out of the gravel so with this in mind we are going to start reporting on the Harrison and Cutthroat fishing. Early season we tend to stay quiet on this fishery because many of the larger…
