OUTLOOK
It has been an interesting week for fishing. We are getting very good weather for river fishing. This does not mean clear sky’s and hot weather. Ideally we see a cycle of consistent yet mild rain events followed by a few days of cool overcast weather. This rises the river but does not blow them out and allows fish to move in. We are hoping that this will happen this weekend and it looks promising.
We have reports on the Squamish, Stave, Vedder and Harrison in the river sections. As we wrote the report last night the Squamish was in good shape but we have heard some early reports this AM that the Squamish has blown out. That said it should come into shape soon and all the rivers should fish well over the next few days.
On a fisheries front we also have some last minute changes to both the Fraser fisheries and Chum fisheries across the lower mainland. Make sure to read these before going out.
Winter chinook fishing is also going in the ocean and though our boats have been hit by some mixed weather it is worth looking at. Lars has a full report in the saltwater section below.
Lastly we have some cool videos this week. We have Zach’s Popsi Ho video that we promised last week. Sorry we were late with this one -To make it up to you guys we have a double upload this week! One for Fly fisherman targeting salmon and steelhead with Zach’s fly and Jordan has an great basic jig tying video for anyone thinking about getting into tying jigs for float fishing. They are super easy and very productive! Check them out in the links below!
On to the report.
