Once again the weather has been all over the place the last week and I do not need to tell you how wet it has been. However, that being said the weather in the forecast starting on Sunday is for great temperatures and steady barometer and some heat! While the weather in the Gulf and Vancouver Harbour has also been up and down it has not been as bad as forecasted.

Friday Fishing Report: June 21, 2013
Outlook: The best description for the recent weather patterns and barometric pressure patterns is YO-YO! It has been up, down and all around. We had a charter last sunday and the forecast was for strong winds in the Gulf Islands and it was flat calm. Same happened in the middle of the week as well. So, when you are looking at the Gulf, Georgia Basin for weather forecasts, keep in mind that not everything being predicted has been coming true. Be cautious but also be willing to do a last minute check on the Government Marine Forecast even the morning before you go to see what is going on. The weather looks great for the weekend! Once again, the barometric pressure in the interior looks…
Friday Fishing Report – June 14th, 2013
Outlook: Middle of June is here. The last couple weeks of stellar fishing at Thrasher Rock are now upon us. By the end of June the coho should be showing up off W. Vancouver. The Capilano has already seen 1100+ coho come in to its system. The marine forecast is for 10-15knots on Friday and variable 5-15knots the rest of the weekend. Great weather to go out and catch a chinook and some of the coho that have been getting caught early this year! The weather in the Merritt region looks great for Sat/Sun so get out there and spend a day on the lake with Dad for Fathers day! Stillwater Be sure to keep an eye on the elevation level of lakes this weekend. …

Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report Jan 11th
Pacific Angler Outlook: Well the blow out happened as predicted by the Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report! The rain didn’t hit the Valley until late morning on Tuesday but when it showed up in meant business. 50mm of rain blew out the Chilliwack and many of the other rivers in the Valley. This is exactly what we were hoping for. We are in for clear skies and colder temps over the weekend so the rivers are dropping and bottom line, if you are a steelheader, now is the time to get out on the water. For the next few days the fishing will be awesome. Another point of interest has been the saltwater fishing. The last few days of weather were amazing for winter chinook…

We have had some great reports, so check out the river reports and the Pro Tip of the week below. Winter Springs are also a hot topic this time of year for the saltwater angler.

Other fisheries to pay attention to will be the trout…
