Pacific Angler Outlook: The forecast for this weekend and the following week looks amazing. Sunny skies with partial clouds and a high ranging from 7 to 10 degrees Celsius. So whether you are fishing in the chuck or in our coastal rivers make sure to take advantage of this great weather and soak up some vitamin D…
Pacific Angler Outlook: While you might say this past week has been an unusual cycle of cold weather, it seems right on par for the middle of January. Besides, nothing feels more like steelheading than walking through a foot of snow to get to that run. A chrome winter steelhead caught during our Float Fishing…
Pacific Angler Outlook: It’s hard to believe we are almost through January and heading straight into February. Vancouver’s 2 months of winter is just about half way through. I say that being from Ontario where you can still have two feet of snow in March. Living in Vancouver, we are truly lucky to have prime…
Pacific Angler Outlook: Well, this report is starting to sound a bit like a broken record but I’ll say it again, the steelhead have arrived. This is the time of year that the entire staff is on their toes waiting for the latest steelhead report, keeping an eye on those water levels, tides, and whatever…
Pacific Angler Outlook: Well, last weekend there was a good push of fish that came on the high water. The staff heard of anglers hooking up into not only several fish but also some big ones. At the beginning of this past week the air temperature dropped significantly. On Sunday the temperature was floating around…
The rivers are dropping!! We will not lie, its going to be cold, the rivers will be low and clear but there are fish around. This is prime-time for fishing egg patterns and flesh flies for hungry trout and char and there are still some fresh coho coming into our local rivers! After the record…
Pacific Angler Outlook: December is the month of the beginning of the winter steelhead season. Some systems will receive a few late runs of coho and chum but for the most part salmon fishing is done for the year. Steelhead isn’t the only thing that will pull on the end of your line this time…
Pacific Angler Outlook: Well, it finally looks like there will be some rain in the forecast. After a very cold week it is nice to see some warmer temperatures as well. On Friday the weatherman is calling for a bit of drizzle (< 1mm prec.) with a high of 6 degrees celsuis. Saturday you’ll see…
Pacific Angler Outlook: Well, Christmas is just around the corner and it looks like it is going to be a wet one. Most anglers will be hoping for that centerpin reel or rod underneath the Christmas tree on Sunday. Well, if you have some free time try to get out on the water on Christmas…
Pacific Angler Outlook: Welcome to the Pacific Angler Fishing Report for the last Friday of the year. It is hard to believe how fast this past year went. Vancouver experienced another great salmon season in 2011 with strong pink, sockeye, chinook and coho returns. We are hoping the steelhead returns this winter will mirror the…
A new date has opened up for our Coho Course by popular demand! Here it is… They don’t get much nicer… Coho On the Fly in the Lower Mainland We have two new spots open for this date. The course includes a theory session taught by legendary coho fly angler, Andre Stepanian and a full…
Oh, the life of a river fisherman… Too much rain, not enough rain, what to do? Well the “dry” streak continues and most of the rivers are really low and clear with the lower temperatures we now have at night and no rain. It looks like we might get some rain later this week and…
Brrrr! It’s cold out there and the rivers are dropping fast and getting clear after having come up nicely on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There were some fresh coho and chum that rolled in on those days and there was some good fishing on the Chehalis, Harrison, and Lower Squamish. Expect things to be pretty…
Hello everyone, It’s gotten a lot colder all of a sudden, but fishing is still good in the Fraser valley for those that want to brave the elements. While the Vedder is slowing down for coho, the north side of the valley is still seeing fresh fish. This trend usually extends to the end of…
Although the coho fishery is tapering off, the rain for the last couple of days will most likely bring a late wave of coho into the local rivers. So don’t put away your coho tackle yet. I have witnessed fishermen catching chrome coho into the first week of January when fishing for steelhead. Double header!!!…
Well, we’ve been asking for rain and it looks like we will be getting it and will continue to get it in a big way over the weekend. The weatherman is calling for 15 to 50 plus mm of precipitation, Saturday through Sunday. A flush of water might push in some of those late waves…
We were out sturgeon fishing on this beautiful fall day and the morning started off with a nice sturgeon to the boat. Dave fighting the first fish of the day. The first fish of the day to the boat. The bite was pretty strong in the morning and right after this fish hit the boat…
