OUTLOOK The long weekend is almost upon us! We’re looking forward to the sunshine and hitting the water this weekend. We can’t wait to hear about all your long weekend trips. In the interior lake fishing is heating up, and good reports are rolling in daily. Andre has a quick overview below so be sure…
OUTLOOK This week’s big focus is lake fishing. Things are still a little cool in lake country but we are starting to hear solid reports and we expect more on the way. Weather in Merritt is a little cool but warming up this weekend and into next week. With 18 degree weather coming at the…
OUTLOOK May is here and that means many of us are thinking about long weekend lake fishing trips and getting out on the saltwater. With the warmer weather and rain in the forecast for the next day or so that means many of our Lower Mainland river systems will be in freshet. So it’s time…
OUTLOOK With May almost upon us things are warming up a bit. This means that some of our local river fisheries are winding down for the season. That said the Squamish is still producing decent numbers of fish so be sure to get out now while you can! While the river season may be coming…
OUTLOOK Fishing reports this week were very solid across a number of fronts. Saltwater was the big highlight with very good fishing this last weekend on the Hump and across at Thrasher. Though we have some rain coming Saturday and Sunday, if you can get out it is definitely worth it! Check out Jason’s saltwater…
OUTLOOK Well we saw some decent weather mixed with some wet weather this week and though we are absolutely due for some more sun, there is not much of it in the forecast. Putting the lack of vitamin D depression aside, the good news is that the fishing forecast looks pretty good. The warmer mix…
OUTLOOK First off a big thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate our 10 Year Anniversary by dropping by the shop over the weekend for the sale! We wouldn’t be here without our amazing team and customers, thanks! On the fishing front things look promising for the weekend. We have some issues with…
OUTLOOK We were hoping spring was on its way but if the weatherman is on his game we are going to be seeing another winter storm. For today and the weekend this could mean good fishing. There is quite a bit of rain in the forecast and it will bump up many of the local…
OUTLOOK It looks as though we are going to get a decent dose of sun this weekend and everyone is excited! With temperatures almost reaching double digits, river levels coming down from last week’s rain and optimistic saltwater reports rolling in, we expect it to be a good weekend for fishing. Before you head out…
OUTLOOK Things are heating up and so is the fishing! We are hearing consistent cutthroat reports from the Fraser Valley and this week we are featuring the best selection of cutthroat gear as our Friday Feature Product. Andre has an overview of the gear he uses for this fishery and everything he lists is on…
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, techniques and patterns for making extremely clean, fishable steelhead patterns. For those who missed the course or took the course and wanted a review, we have a step by step of one of his classic patterns in this week’s report. If you are a tier you will not want to miss it! Matt found some fry up the Squamish and we are hearing other reports of fry from the valley. There is some concern from the rising water levels but cutthroat should be good soon. Check out Andre’s Valley Cutthroat Report for more details. On the saltwater front we’ve been catching fish in the Harbour...
OUTLOOK We have another storm coming and though there will be some snow expected in various areas as the storm progresses over the weekend, things will warm up. This will mean rising rivers. We may see some blown out conditions over the next few days but most rivers are low right now and could use the rain. We expect periods of good fishing mixed in with the high water over the weekend and into early next week but when the rain ends and things start dropping the weather looks as though it will stay warm. We expect cutthroat fishing, bulltrout fishing and steelheading to pick up when this happens. Check out the river reports and plan your time out on the water appropriately. Winter chinook fishing over the last 10 days has had a mix of both productive and slow days but Eddie had a good trip yesterday and we are hoping this will be the start of a trend. If yesterday is an indicator we might see things heat up again over the next couple days! If you miss out on last week’s tying classes don’t despair! We have two great tying classes coming up next week as well as a few more of our most popular courses of the season at the end of the month. All of the information is in our classes and courses section below....
OUTLOOK It was a good week in the fishing world. We saw some better reports off the Vedder early in the week. Things slowed down a bit yesterday but with some precipitation in the forecast and then warmer weather it should be improving. Squamish fished well earlier in the week but it has dropped and…
OUTLOOK Well at least it is warming up. After a very cold and snowy winter season there is hope in sight. It is starting to feel like spring and with it we should see fishing pick up. In this transition period we have had to deal with heavy rain and snow melt. Most of our…
OUTLOOK Start rigging up the rods! The crazy weather this week is flipping on its head and turning from cold snow to warm rain and then some sun early next week. This is awesome for the winter fishing scene. In the next 48 hours we will probably see some flooding, blown out rivers and treacherous…
OUTLOOK We are coming up on another cold spell and it looks as though there will be another snowstorm in the forecast. This is going to make fishing the weekend interesting. With the cold in mind we are dreaming of warmer destinations. This Friday’s Feature Product is complete warm water spinning setups. If you are…
OUTLOOK It’s warm and wet, two of the best things for river fishing in the winter! It is time to get out and chase steelhead or trout species on our local waters. Most of the rivers blew out yesterday with the heavy rain but they crested and should be coming down today. This is great…
