OUTLOOK
We want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and hope that you can get out for some fishing with the extra day off. The good news is the weather continues to be great for salmon fishing. That doesn’t mean warm dry weather. Good fall salmon weather means a mix of light to medium rainfall with the odd day of clear skies and cold nights to clear up the rivers. It looks like there will be more of this in the forecast for the weekend. For your weekly dose of Matt Madryga (best comment ever) – Matt has a detailed look at the weather and water levels this weekend in the Friday fishing report YouTube edition. The one liner is that there should be excellent conditions for Friday, Saturday and then we will see some rain Sunday and Monday with a possible storm mid next week.
We have updates on all the major rivers in the report today. Jordan was out on the Squamish and Alex has been hitting the Vedder so both have shared their intel below in their reports. We also have info on the Stave and Harrison. These systems are not on fire yet but it’s time to start looking at in the next two weeks.
Our team has expanded with new staff member Sterling Balzer on board and he’s got his first report in this week. He has a cabin in the interior and has been fishing that area for years. Long story short he has the interior lake fishing dialed. Though it is the end of the season if you can brave cooler weather this is still one of the best times to go lake fishing. Have a read of his report and come by the shop to say hi!
Saltwater fishing is slowing but we have had quite a few boats still out catching fish from the Cap Mouth and Sandheads. Jason has details in the saltwater section this week.
Lastly, aside from the report video we released a video last week on coho flies. It’s a video where we delve into in Matt’s coho fly box. He shares a bunch or great custom patterns from his guide days but also goes over how to strategies a box to cover different key coho water. If you are looking for some patterns or want to know when to fish what style of pattern and why, don’t miss this video!
For the Thanksgiving Long Weekend we’re open regular hours all weekend and closed on Monday for Thanksgiving. We’ll see you in the shop or on the water this weekend!
