OUTLOOK What a week! – Let’s take a moment to de-stress and think about something other than health concerns, ruined travel plans and crashing markets. Let’s talk fishing! This week we have some fun stuff in the video report so if you want to sit back, see some amazing footage of mother nature doing her…
OUTLOOK This week we are expecting more favourable conditions on the river fishing front. We have details on the Squamish, Vedder, and Harrison rivers. We also have an important piece in the video version of the report looking at 10 facts all BC anglers should know about the impact and benefits of the sport we…
OUTLOOK We’re rolling into the weekend with some decent conditions across the board. With relatively warm weather for this time of year fishing should be good for the weekend. We’ve got a bit rain in the forecast but that should help with the lower river levels we are seeing in up in Squamish area. If you’re…
OUTLOOK Another week of drizzly weather may be taking it’s tole on your vitamin D levels but on the fishing front the weather this week looks excellent. Enough rain to keep things from getting painfully low but not too much rain to blow things out. The temperatures also look excellent for spending time in the…
OUTLOOK Well the storm last week came as predicted and it was a doozy. All the major rivers went into the trees. The good news is that things are coming into shape nicely with an optimistic forecast for the weekend. That said it wouldn’t be a Friday if we didn’t have some weather adversity to…
OUTLOOK This week we are seeing a massive dump of water today as the report comes out. If the weatherman is on his game, it will blow out most of the major river systems around Vancouver. We have intel from the Chilliwack and Squamish. Both saw challenging conditions last weekend and the Chilliwack had a…
OUTLOOK From cold weather and heavy snow to warm weather and heavy rain the weather continues to be interesting. The rivers fished well this last week with the shift in weather. They hit perfect levels and had nice colour. We saw good numbers of bulltrout on the Squamish and Steelhead reports were encouraging on the…
OUTLOOK We have no plans to sugar coat this one. For mere mortals this has not been the best fishing weather this week. We do have hope next week with warmer rainy weather coming. In this week’s report we will look at the Vedder and the Squamish and what to expect, more importantly what will…
OUTLOOK Go fishing now because winter is coming! That is the theme of this week’s report. We heard better steelhead reports from the Vedder this week, some solid reports front the Squamish and a few other fisheries were in good shape. The news this week is the weather on the horizon. In the next 2…
OUTLOOK Welcome to a new decade! We thank everyone for all their support in 2019 and we are excited for 2020! 2019 was one hell of an interesting fishing year. We saw considerable political and fisheries management issues with saltwater fisheries and the Upper Fraser Steelhead and salmon fisheries. We also had debatably some of…
It looks like another great forecast for winter river fishing. With rain yesterday and a little more today it should hold river levels and keep things from getting too low and clear. We have heard more reports of steelhead on the Chilliwack and egg fishing continues to be good on the Squamish and Stave. Check…
OUTLOOK We have a beautiful forecast coming into the weekend. When we say beautiful, it is not all sunshine and lollipops. We will be seeing some rain but for a winter fisherman it looks perfect. They are forecasting a bit of rain Thursday (as we are writing the report) with more to come on Friday and Saturday then…
OUTLOOK We are almost at Christmas, but the good river fishing weather keeps coming! This does not mean “nice” weather. It means classic West Coast rain, timed right before the days you want to go fishing. For the last month it seems as though we have been getting a bump of water Thursday, Friday, Saturday…
OUTLOOK As expected last week’s rain hit the river’s around the lower mainland hard but not quite as hard as we expected. If you were watching the weather, there were some excellent windows to get out fishing. The funny thing is we are looking at a very similar weather report this week. We are going…
OUTLOOK Nasty weather inbound?! We have a question mark here because the weather reports over the last 3 weeks have forecast bad weather multiple times but it really never came to pass. That said this one looks like a doozy and we expect it will be hard for the weatherman to get it wrong. We…
OUTLOOK We wish everyone a great Remembrance Day long weekend and once you have had time to pay your respects it looks like a good weekend to get out on the water! We will see a little rain on Saturday and that should help colour up the waters of our local rivers. This is a…
OUTLOOK We hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! Cold and clear is the forecast for the foreseeable future and that is going to change things up substantially for the river fisherman. Cold and clear is not ideal because you will see river levels drop and become very clear. This slows fish movement and…
