OUTLOOK
For those looking to get out and fish our local rivers there is some much needed rain is in the forecast, though likely not enough to affect the local river conditions but cloudy drizzly days can make for some great fishing. Fishing on the Skagit this week was good with some consistent nymphing. On the Chilliwack we’re hoping to see more chinook enter the river, so now is the time to get your gear ready and head out to do some scouting.
With the continued heat lake fishing can be a tough. If you can fish some lakes that are up in the 5000 foot plus level, you can have some good fishing. If you’re staying local focus your fishing in the morning or evening to try to beat the heat.
We’ve got some good tides coming up this week for beach fishing. If you are fly fishing be sure to bring along a variety of patterns and a few different types of terminal tackle if you are gear fishing. These fish are picky, having a good variety will definitely up your chances of landing one.
On the local saltwater we have had some great catches of coho this week along the W. Van shoreline and it will only get better as more and more coho show up as the month progresses. We have also been hooking some chinook a off the Bell Buoy as we often head to this area later in the day after we have done some coho fishing off W. Van early in the morning.
Howe Sound has been a little slow lately. But don’t be surprised if there are some good days at Hole in the Wall in the next week or so as this is traditionally a good time for chinook fishing up there.
