OUTLOOK First off, we wanted to start by thanking everyone who came out for our 2023 Stillwater Fly Tying Jam Session. It was amazing to see all the innovative lake patterns and we hope everyone who attended learned a thing or two. If you missed the event, or just want a little review of the…
OUTLOOK The weather is going to be a big focus over the next few weeks. Why? Typically, this is a time of transition, a time when things start getting warmer and fisheries pick up. When we look at the weekend forecast, the 14-day forecast and even into the 30-day forecast the outlook is not good….
OUTLOOK Big news this week on the saltwater regulations front! There is good news and bad news. It looks as though there might be areas close to Vancouver where they will “test” marked selective fisheries (MSF). In a nutshell what does this mean? If all goes as planned, we will have limited areas during the…
OUTLOOK Well, the weatherman was a little off last week. The storm that was forecast didn’t materialize. We expected a blowout on the Squamish and steady water conditions on the Chilliwack. The Squamish didn’t budge and stayed low and clear. The Chilliwack didn’t blowout but we did see some milkier colored water. We then saw…
OUTLOOK We have an interesting week of weather coming and it’s well worth paying attention too if you are heading out on the water. There is a big storm on the horizon that is rolling in today. The majority of it will hit Vancouver and up the Sea to Sky corridor but enough water is…
OUTLOOK There is a solid weekend of fishing weather incoming but, a cold snap is on the horizon. With temperatures in the high single digits today through Sunday it looks like a good weekend to get out but, it is going to get cold Sunday and into next week so expect fishing to change. In…
OUTLOOK Seasonally normal weather incoming! It’s funny that we are excited about seasonably “normal” weather but, for the last 5 months, we have seen very little “normal” weather. This week’s forecast is not perfect for fishing but we can say it is a “good” forecast and should be more predictable in how it affects our…
OUTLOOK Friday the 13th and an INCOMING STORM WARNING! As we are writing the report, we are seeing a forecast that needs to be on your radar if you are heading out fishing over the next 5 days. The heavy rain is focused on the Sea to Sky Corridor but we will also see a…
OUTLOOK The first week of 2023 is in the books! It’s been a pretty good start to the year for river fishing. We are hearing positive steelhead reports from the Chilliwack and though the Squamish is back to low and clear conditions, bulltrout fishing over the last 10 days has been good as the water…
OUTLOOK Happy almost New Year everyone! We hope you have all had a great Christmas and enjoyed some time with family and friends. It’s been great to see you all at our Boxing Week Sale this week and if you haven’t been down, you’ve got 2 more days to save! There are still some incredible…
OUTLOOK We hope everyone is having a great Holiday Season! The fishing has been a little challenging with cold weather and we expect this to continue with more cold weather coming this weekend, but the silver lining is we think it will warm up for Boxing Week and there could be some excellent conditions to…
OUTLOOK Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! As we head into the holiday weekend, we hope you all are able to get where you need to be to enjoy some time with your family and friends. Given the weather many folks haven’t been on the water but we take our hats off those that have! …
OUTLOOK Another week of relatively chilly weather has kept many folks off the water but we managed to get out on the saltwater for a few days this past week. So be sure to have a read of this week’s saltwater report! On the freshwater front, we have a look at the upcoming forecast and…
OUTLOOK Winter showed up in a big way this week and we don’t blame anyone for taking a little break from fishing. This week we are doing the same when it comes to specific fisheries reports but we do have an overview on what is happening right now and an outlook for fishing over the…
OUTLOOK This week we are seeing many of the salmon fisheries wind down but, surprisingly, there are still good reports coming in. If you want one last kick at the can, be sure to take a look at this week’s Freshwater Fishing Reports section where we have updates on the Chilliwack and north side systems….
OUTLOOK We are all on weather watch right now. The rivers are very low but seasonally warm daytime temperatures have made for ok fishing. We expect this trend to continue over the weekend. The low clear water makes fish picky, but the warmer temperatures have meant that their metabolisms haven’t shut down and they are…
It’s Friday, Remembrance Day and the store is closed in honour of our armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. If you are going fishing this weekend here is an abbreviated report for fresh and salt. The weather is looking good for fishing this weekend for the fresh and the salt. Highs…
OUTLOOK Winter Is Coming! After a historically warm October, November is going in the other direction. We have had snow on many of the higher elevations and as we write the report. On Thursday, it is snowed in Squamish. On the fishing front, things have been good right across the Lower Mainland fisheries. The late…
