There are still millions coming! We are in the middle of one of the largest sockeye salmon runs in the last 100 years. Fishing has been great and as you can see in the pictures below there has been lots of chrome sockeye hitting our dock. There are lots of sockeye yet to show up, millions in…
Outlook The sun is coming back! We had a mixed bag of wind, clouds and sun this last week but that looks like it will be changing with 5-7 days of good weather ahead! This should make for a great fishing weekend. The big question is, where to go? We have some options for you,…
Outlook The first unsettled weather in over a month rolled through the Lower Mainland this week. With it came some interesting fishing conditions. The sockeye are rolling into the Fraser in good numbers and most of our charters hit it out of the park. The sockeye bite has still been hit and miss to totally…
Outlook Here comes the sun! It looks like we will have great weather for the next week with day time temps reaching into the high 20s! The heat will likely flush some melt into the rivers temporarily raising water levels. This is a good thing in the grand scheme of things, as when the rivers…
Outlook Many of our summer fisheries have started, however, it is still very early. The Chilliwack River is now open. There are still very few chinook in the river and it is running high. The Skagit River also opened July 1st and we should start to hear whisperings of fish very shortly. Some fish are…
Outlook A wet Wednesday and Thursday is going to make for an interesting weekend. A number of rivers are on the rise with the rain. They opened the Cleveland Dam early Thursday morning, raising the water level on the Capilano. The Chilliwack, Skagit and Fraser Rivers all responded to the rainfall quite quickly. Last week…
Outlook Wow, what a week of weather! Unfortunately it is not going to last and it looks as though we will get rain all weekend. Fortunately the rain is a good thing for a number of our fisheries. Some rivers are extremely low and could really use the rain, while some rivers need more dry…
Outlook Where is the rain? This past week has been a dry one! We are hoping that this will come to an end very soon. The Capilano River has remained very low with the lack of rain, making fishing difficult. Interior lakes have been the place to be lately. We have had some great reports…
Outlook June is here! The summer solstice is right around the corner and so are our summer time fisheries. The Capilano River has been producing some coho salmon, but overall, it has been a slow start to the season. Poor wind conditions have made Saltwater fishing a challenge, limiting anglers to more in-shore areas. Coho…
Outlook Summer is now in full swing! July is a very exciting time for most anglers in the Lower Mainland. Summer salmon fishing is going to start to heat up in our local waters, both fresh and salt. We are looking forward to chinook salmon fishing in the Chilliwack River which will open July 1st….
Outlook June is flying by, and we are looking forward to a great summer of different fishing opportunities. The Saltwater salmon fishing has been good this past week over at Thrasher. The fishing will soon be much closer to home as the Bell Buoy and the North Arm are starting to produce. The Caribou region…
Outlook For many anglers, this is a very exciting time of year. Most of our spring fisheries have ended and our summer fisheries are starting to kick off! Warm summer weather from this past week has sent the rivers deeper into freshet and most likely past the point of return. Its time to get your…
Outlook It is that time of year again! Drift rods and two handed rods are being laid to rest and stillwater and saltwater gear is being dusted off. Interior lakes are icing off, turning over and the fishing is starting to heat up. Our lower mainland river systems are in full freshet bringing another steelhead…
Outlook It has been a beautiful week for weather here in the lower mainland. We are still a month away from summer, yet it feels like it is already here! Aside from the Capilano, our lower mainland rivers are now in freshet. Local lakes are fishing very well for stocked rainbow trout. We are also hearing…
Outlook The weather this past week has been very typical for late may in the lower mainland. The blast of summer weather we experienced earlier in the month has made way for more seasonal conditions. We are getting very close to beach fishing for coho. We have already seen a few anglers trying their luck…
Outlook With the past little while showing us some nice (and welcomed) weather, fishing has started to pick up across the board- in both the fresh and saltwater. With the action on local lakes continuing to be good, rivers being rewarding, and the ocean being kind, one can only expect it to get better over…
Outlook With the warm Spring temperatures finally showing themselves on a constant and steady basis, as expected, rivers are starting to come up. Warm weather, April showers, and inevitable snow-melt are all factors that play a key role in how long the rivers will hold their shape before blowing out. So far all the local…
Outlook Well, if you’ve looked out the window at all in the last day or so you’ll be well aware that April showers have arrived! Local lakes have been fishing well, interior lakes are becoming more and more ice free, and fish are starting to feed. With the warmer temperatures starting to be more constant,…
