Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report: February 24, 2023

Vancouver_saltwater_fishing_winter_chinook_Feb'23

OUTLOOK  The weather is going to be a big focus over the next few weeks. Why? Typically, this is a time of transition, a time when things start getting warmer and fisheries pick up.  When we look at the weekend forecast, the 14-day forecast and even into the 30-day forecast the outlook is not good. Historically, we see average temperatures hit double digits by early March. Right now, the weatherman is predicting low single digits till the end of the month and well into March.   Though it is early, and the weather predictions are not something to bet the farm on, if this cold trend carries into March expect the spring river fisheries to be delayed and it might even push out some of the…

OUTLOOK  We have a big report for everyone this week!  First off, if you have been outside at all this week you will know the weather continues to be cool with rain this weekend and a warming trend at the back end of next week.  As we’ve noted before, the cooler weather is actually great for fishing.

Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report: April 15, 2022

River_fishing_Squamish_high water_Bulltrout_April'22

OUTLOOK  With sun, cloud and a little rain over the next couple days and into next week, we are hopeful for some good fishing.  That said, things continue to be cold and with the unseasonably cold weather the rivers are low again and it is affecting the salmon fry migration. Last weekend, we saw some higher water levels but everything dropped fast because of the cold weather.   We need some warmer weather for all of our fisheries to turn on. This week, we have details on the Squamish, Chilliwack, Harrison and Stave rivers. We have had some more positive cutthroat reports from the valley and it’s well worth a trip but the 14-day trend is not good when it comes to temperatures. This will extend…

Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report: April 1, 2022

OUTLOOK  A spring storm is incoming! Overall, this is a good thing but you will want to watch your river levels and marine forecasts if you are heading out over the next 5 days. Sunday looks like it will be a wet one. All systems could use some water so it should be a good weekend to get out.   The other big fishing news is the saltwater regulation changes that come into effect today, April 1. Jason is tuning in this week with a special update on those regulations and what it means for our season ahead!     On the saltwater regulation front, Bob Zimmer has been hard at work trying to get answers from Ottawa concerning possible acceptance of modest, science-based proposals that will allow…
