Outlook: FINALLY we get some more October precipitation! Now, how often does a long suffering Vancouverite get the chance to say that? The driest October in years is getting drenched again this week and the rivers need it! Be sure to keep checking in on the different hydrometric data graphs to see what the water…
Outlook: Well, October was amazing and now November is reminding us daily that yes, we still live in Vancouver and our winters can be cold and more than a little wet. I would post a weather forecast, however all you need to do is walk around outside the last couple days and this weather is…
Outlook: November continues to provide the lower mainland river systems with rain that we lacked in October. Still feels weird to say that Vancouver LACKED rain in October. The fact that the rains have taken till mid-November to move water levels up to their peak levels for fishing and moving towards blowing out here and…
Outlook: Now is the time to start looking at your trips in 2014. Where will you be going fishing? Have you booked any destination fishing trips? Warm water? Local or international? Whatever the trip is that you are looking to go on in 2014, Pacific Angler has the gear you need to give yourself the…
Outlook: This weekend looks like we will get some of that rain that we need to bump up river levels. The fishing has now rounded that corner on most the rivers where the “end” to the epic fishing of 2013 is coming to a close for those of you chasing salmon. The 14day Squamish Weather…
Outlook: Ok, you can put the waterwings away now. For the time being, it looks like the rain in the forecast will be intermittent or showers at the worst. Not like the deluge we recently endured. So, lets stalk the rivers. They will be falling into shape nicely with the cooler temperatures at night even a…
Outlook: Here we go, heading into another long weekend! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Keep in mind that Pacific Angler will be CLOSED on the holiday Monday, Oct 14th. Regular hours will be in effect the rest of the weekend. We are expecting the fishing off of W. Van to be fair to good this weekend…
Outlook: We are hitting full stride for fall salmon fishing in the local rivers. Fish are continuing to enter their home stretch and the stories we hear at the shop each day is that tight lines are in abundance. The Vancouver weather forecast and the Nicola Valley/Merritt weather forecasts are both steady and should contribute…
Outlook: So it seems that in 2013 that October and September have decided to swap places regarding our fall weather patterns! September being one of the wettest Septembers in years and October shaping up to being the driest October in over 20yrs. What does this mean for fishing? The local saltwater fishing definitely did not benefit…
Outlook: So the first week of Sept we have thunder and lightening storms and the second week we break records for heat and sun. As the mixed bag of weather is upon us and continues to be over the next 10days it has provided and will likely continue to provide fisherman with a mixed bag…
Outlook: September is continuing to grace us with a mixed bag of weather. With this weather comes some great fishing, fresh fish, spiking river water levels then dropping as the nights get cooler. With rain then sun we will see some fish push up in the rivers while others will begin to stage off the…
Outlook: Break out the water-wings this weekend. From Vancouver to Squamish, there is a full rainfall warning in effect for this weekend. The EXCITING aspect of this forecast is this will bring fresh fish into their home river systems but it will also blow out many of the systems making the fishing conditions tough and…
Outlook: Welcome to a wet start to Sept! This year, there was no doubt about the end of summer. Even late yesterday afternoon the rolling thunder following the frequent lightening we could see outside the store was a reminder of what we have enjoyed AND what is coming. That being said, fishing has been AMAZING. …
Outlook: Weather forecast for Vancouver = GREAT Wind forecast for Georgia Basin = GREAT (moderate 15knot to light 5knot) Tides for Vancouver Harbour = GREAT! Early morning flood tides this weekend with nice mid-day low slack and evening flood. Thompson river reports are getting better, pinks in the Squamish, Skagit fishing nicely with more bulls…
Outlook: This weather, gasp! Is this RAIN? In Vancouver?? This wet stuff is so unusual around Vancouver I don’t know what to do?? Yes, the barometer has dropped, raindrops are in the forecast for this weekend but this should not “dampen” your spirits regarding the fishing which has been great as of late. See reports…
Outlook: As we are coming off the full moon the tides are starting to become balanced and less drastic in their highs and lows. The weather this weekend is calling for 40% chance of showers with sun and cloud so no excuses, its time to be on the water. With cooler weather do not forget…
Outlook: Welcome to your October thunder and lightening storms – in August? This rain is definitely going to get the river fishing going early. Without a doubt there will be coho moving into the Capilano, and Chilliwack River today with the big storm we had last night. The massive biomass of pinks, in the millions,…
Outlook: July broke a 60yr record as it recorded ZERO precipitation in the entire month. Now we have clouds and 30% chance of rain over the next couple days. The pink salmon run continues to come in waves and should be a fairly significant sized run this season so fishing in Howe Sound, The Fraser…
