OUTLOOK Happy Long Weekend Everyone! It looks like we will see some rain but this is a good thing for the river fisherman. In this week’s report we have info on the Squamish, the Vedder as well as the Harrison and the Stave. The weather was a little interesting last weekend but we are hearing good cutthroat reports and with some overcast drizzly days this weekend all the rivers should fish well. The big news this week has to be the saltwater chinook fishing regulations that were released. If you guys missed it, and you are planning on taking the boat out this weekend, be sure to familiarize yourself with the regulations. Be sure to check back for any updates and amendments to the regulations and make sure to read Jason’s Important Chinook Update that went out earlier today. On a lighter note, if you are gearing up for lake fishing, Zach has a cool Interior…

Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report: October 16, 2020
OUTLOOK We hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving Long Weekend and enjoyed an extra day on the water or around the table with family. Last week we saw a ton of water but we also saw less water than was forecasted. Things came into shape on the river fast and we heard good river reports across the board. There is more rain expected this weekend but, not half as much as we saw last week, and we will see the first cold nights early next week. We expect things to clear up fast and drop when those low night time temperatures hit. We will touch on all the river fishing in the Freshwater Fishing Report Section below updates on the Squamish, Stave, Harrison, Capilano and Vedder. Fishing has been good and we are seeing some of the later runs start to show up…
Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report: July 24, 2020
OUTLOOK Summer is finally showing herself and we hope you are all having a chance to enjoy it responsibly. This week we have an update on Interior Lake fishing. Matt was up last weekend in the Kamloops region and Zach also make a trip at the end of last week. Matt will share his observations and a little on the strategies used in the lake section as well as in the video version of the report. On the river front, we will look at reports from the Vedder, Skagit and Capilano. Water levels are coming down and for the Vedder and Skagit we are hearing better reports. The Capilano is getting low. For river anglers this is not great but it is exactly what the beach anglers are looking for. With rivers getting lower, the saltwater coho anglers are hooking more fish and though they are still focusing on areas just outside of the harbour, we’re starting to hear consistent coho reports from…

New Zealand 2020 Fishing Story – Memorable, but Humbling
Saturday February 8 I met Rick in the afternoon at the Queenstown airport on the South Island of New Zealand. Rick arrived from Canada about five minutes before I arrived from Melbourne, where I had been working for a few days. Coming into the country we both had to go through biosecurity. They take it very seriously in New Zealand and inspected all our fishing gear and, in Rick’s case, did a little extra cleaning. They really want to prevent Didymo from getting into New Zealand rivers. Didymo is an invasive diatom that exists in British Columbia that grows on rocks and is unhealthy for rivers. This was Rick’s and my first time fishing in New Zealand. February is the height of summer in New…
