🎃 Happy Halloween!⁠ ⁠ It looks like we’re in for another wet weekend, but the silver lining is that once the rivers settle, the fishing is usually excellent. If you’re planning to head out, be sure to keep an eye on the forecast and current river levels.⁠ ⁠ This week’s report includes updates on all our local river fisheries, along with the latest chum regulations, check out all the details via our link in bio!⁠ ⁠ If your plan is to stay in and stay dry this weekend, it’s the perfect time to organize your gear and tie up some flies for when the weather turns more favourable. It also pairs nicely with watching the Jays game! We’ve just stocked up on some of our favourite tying materials and filled up the pegs in the freshwater section as well, so swing by the shop - we might even have a bit of candy left!

Jason Tonelli just wrote about proposed SRKW measures and potential chinook closures off the Fraser Mouth. Read what he has to say and learn what you can do on our blog at pacificangler.ca or click on our link in bio and this picture and get taken right to the blog!

It looks like it’s going to be another wet weekend for us on the South Coast and across much of the province. The good news? Once the heavy rain subsides and the rivers settle, local flows often produce some excellent fishing opportunities. ⁠ ⁠ If you’re planning to head out, make sure to check river levels and the forecast, before you go, to ensure conditions are safe and fishable. Once things stabilize, don’t forget to check out the reports below for the latest updates from local fisheries and tips on effective post–blowout presentations. ⁠ ⁠ High river levels got you down? Consider heading to the Interior, lake fishing is shaping up nicely, with good action expected over the coming weeks. Jason was out there last week and shares his insights and expectations for the next stretch in his latest report. ⁠ ⁠ For saltwater anglers, it’s been a blustery few days, but the marine forecast for the weekend looks manageable. It may be wet, but the fish don’t mind! Now’s the time to get out there and focus on winter chinook fishing. ⁠ ⁠ Check out the full report linked in our bio and we'll see you in the shop!

What’s New Wednesday – Fall Salmon Gear Edition! This week we have not one but two new to the shop products! Prime Lures Walk n’ Wade Landing Net and the Daiwa Steez SV! Prime Lures Walk n’ Wade Landing Net combines premium materials with practical design. Featuring a carbon fibre frame that is guaranteed to float, a generous 24” x 16” hoop makes landing fish quick and secure, while the 20” handle provides the perfect blend of reach and portability. Equipped with a 22” deep, fish-friendly, rubber-coated mesh, this net ensures a clean and ethical release every time. The depth of the net is 22” deep ensuring any fish you catch fits comfortable in the net. Upgrade your gear with the ultimate go-to net for wade and bank fishing. The Steez SV is Daiwa’s flagship low-profile reel, is packed with premium features and materials that all come together to make this one of -if not the- best low profile reels ever made. A magnesium body makes this reel exceptionally light yet remarkably durable, and the combination of the SV Booster braking system and T-Wing Systems result in unbelievable casting performance. Couple all this (and more) with a UTD Drag and Hyperdrive System, and you have an incredibly smooth, powerful and lightweight little baitcaster that punches way above it’s weight. Although this reel was designed with Bass in mind, Taylor has been putting it to the test by twitching jigs and retrieving spinners for Salmon in the Lower Mainland’s rivers- with great success. The reel has been unfazed by plenty of Chinook, Coho and Chum encounters over the past two seasons, with the drag, gearing and braking systems all taking the abuse in their stride. If you’re looking for a premium Bass or light/medium-duty Salmon reel, the Steez SV might be impossible to beat. Check these both out in store or online today! #pacificangler #daiwa #fishingreels #primelures #walknwade #carbonfibre #fishingnet #salmonfishing

Welcome to mid-October with shorter days and moodier weather. It is really starting to feel like Fall here. ⁠ ⁠ For saltwater anglers, this is the time of year when our thoughts begin to shift toward winter chinook fishing in Lower Howe Sound. Jason touches on this in his saltwater report this week—be sure to give it a read. ⁠ ⁠ On the rivers, the Chilliwack/Vedder system continues to produce. We’re hoping the forecasted rain will help bring the river levels up a bit. As always, keep an eye on the weather before heading out to make sure you’re well prepared. Over at the Capilano, things are also low as the dam was closed last week. Check our Eric’s report, before you head out, for his thoughts on adapting to the current conditions. ⁠ ⁠ For sturgeon anglers on the Fraser River, Fall marks prime time! The fishing has been excellent and will continue to be great until the river temperatures drop, usually around early to mid-November. ⁠ ⁠ And if Fall has you thinking about lake fishing, don’t miss Jason’s report this week. He covers the current conditions and shares a few of his must-have lines and reels for this time of year. ⁠ ⁠ Check out the full report via our link in bio - have a great weekend and we’ll see you in the shop or on the water!
