OUTLOOK
Well folks many of the salmon fisheries are winding down but there are still some excellent opportunities on some of the later run rivers and the egg fishing opportunities are just ramping up. If you are heading out for salmon the Vedder is not completely done and we are still hearing reports off the Stave but again it is nearing the end of the season. The Squamish and Harrison area waters are historically a little later and there are still good reports coming from these areas. All of the details are in this week’s report below.
On the salmon egg, trout fisheries things are just ramping up. Matt is out on the water this weekend and though we have a storm rolling in on Saturday, if the Squamish doesn’t blow out right away we expect good things. Sunday may pose more issues with over 50 mm in the forecast. If the weather does arrive as predicted and the rivers blow out, when they settle it could be one of the best times to get out for egging. Watch the weather and get ready.
Things have been quiet on the saltwater front mostly because not many people have been braving the wind and rain. We are just at the start of the winter chinook season so there are many more chances to get out there in the next 4 months!
You may have seen it earlier this week on our Facebook page but if you missed it there is a call to action for the Thompson River. Take a look at the link, get educated and please sign the petition. Link and more details below.
On the product front we are ramping up for next week’s Steelhead Fly Tying Jam Session Cool shipments of materials have been rolling in daily and this week we got a big order of OPST materials in the shop. We couldn’t wait until the Jam Session to show them to you so this week we are featuring the OPST products. Check out more details in the Friday Feature Product section!
Good Luck out on the water!
