OUTLOOK
Christmas season is upon us and so is the cold!
All the rivers are dropping like a rock and even the Harrison may be fishable after a long season of high waters! Cold, clear days are fun if you are prepared for the weather and the fishing conditions. Fish are getting picky but if you use fluorocarbon, less obtrusive presentations and fish a little slower than normal you can have some excellent river fishing this time of year.
If you’re headed out to the Squamish we have some cold weather tactics for the bull trout fisherman in this week’s. If you’d prefer to hit the water in the valley, the Stave and even the Harrison might have some egging opportunities as well.
The Vedder is also an option and it’s a good time to get out scouting so you are prepared for winter steelhead season. We have heard rumours of fish but nothing solid yet. The beading guys have been doing well for bull trout and rainbows. It’s a good way to scout and get some fishing in at the same time so check out the Vedder report for more info.
For those of you dreaming about steelhead fishing Sam provided us a quick refresher on tying roe bags. Don’t miss it.
For our saltwater friends it’s been a mighty cold week to be on the water. That coupled with some high winds have made for limited fishing opportunities and reports.
With Christmas just around the corner you may be have loved ones asking what you would like under the tree! Be sure to send them our direction and we can help. We’ve even got a few ideas for your list in place of this week’s Friday Feature Product.
Read on for this week's full report!
