OUTLOOK
Well we are looking at another epic weekend of weather and it will carry right through to next week. This is great for us here in Vancouver, we’re thinking about our friends in the interior who are dealing with wildfires. For those of you heading out be sure to educate yourself on park and back country closures. For a full listing of affected parks be sure to check out the Province of BC’s website.
On the fishing front we are hearing ok reports off the Skagit. It is still high and we have not heard of good dry fly fishing yet but nymphing is working and it is definitely worth getting out. Matt is on the water for the next couple days so we will have a very detailed report next week. If you are interested in this fishery look back at last week’s report for details and an overview, then stay tuned for Matt’s report next week.
The Vedder is also open and we have heard of a few fish being caught. Alex has a great overview of the fishery and what to expect over the next few weeks.
The Capilano is getting low with the lack of rain. This is good for the fly fisherman on the river and for the beach guys. Though things have not been hot we are consistently hearing of reports of coho on the beach and it should increase over the next week. The first pinks have been caught off South Bowen and Point Atkinson. We have not heard of anyone catching them from the beach but they are very close. By the time you read this report it might have already happened. Check out Andre’s report for more details.
On the trolling scene, like we said above, the first pinks have been getting hooked around Bowen. Their numbers should only increase over the next week. On the chinook front, South Bowen is still producing a good number of fish and we are seeing the odd coho at Bowen and along the north shore so it is worth getting out.
If you are thinking about heading up north we have another episode of “Where in the World Is Jordan”. Last week he was up at Langara Lodge for a short weekend of guiding. If you’ve got a trip planned to the area don’t miss his report.
Last but not least with ICAST 2017 (the worlds largest sportsfishing tradeshow) running all week we are hearing about some very cool new products that will be coming online but it also means that great products from last season are now discontinued. This means BIG DISCOUNTS for you! This week’s Friday Feature Product has all of the details on the Sage rods that are changing. They are all at 30% off and it is a great time to look at a new fly rod!!
