OUTLOOK
We have a sizable dump of rain coming today and then some chilly weather coming for Sunday and into next week. We never like to see an extended period of negative degree weather. It drops the river levels and it shuts down the metabolism of our fish. The one good thing about the forecast this week is the rain we can expect today. On paper it is a sizable 20-30ml bump of water. We do not think it will blow things out but hopefully it will colour the water and should take the edge off the cold weather to come. We expect fishing to be solid for Saturday and Sunday but if it remains cold into next week we will see fishing slow.
We have had more steelhead reports this week from the Valley. Over all, from what we are hearing it was a little slower than last week but a good numbers of fish were still caught. With this weather shift we are hopeful that we will hear good reports today and tomorrow and that the cold next week won’t put a big damper on things.
We have a little update on the Vedder and an overview of the fishing on the Stave and Harrison in the river section below. On the Squamish we expect good fishing for the next 2-3 days with things slowing as it gets cold Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Check out details on this in the Squamish section.
Winter chinook continue to fish well. We had a productive start to the week but things slowed midweek with the arrival of a pod of Orcas in Howe Sound. We’re out today and all weekend so will have some fresh reports from the water if you want to call the shop!
Our full listing of February courses are below. It’s a great way to stay warm and get your fishing fix in if you are planning on waiting out the cool weather. Don’t wait to sign up as most of our courses have been selling out. On thee course front we had one spot open up in the Mastering Local Saltwater Course. Call the shop to grab that spot today.
