OUTLOOK
Welcome to another episode of the famous Friday Fishing Report! This week is a good one. We have a bunch of cool content for you and some good updates from the local fisheries.
If you guys are getting out fly fishing for steelhead or are preparing to get out, we have just released a great video with Fishing with Rod called Dissecting a Steelheader’s Fly Box. It goes over the concepts that Matt uses to choose flies for steelhead fishing and you get a peek inside his fly box. Check it out here.
On a product front it is that time of year again when many of us are escaping the cold and heading down south. We just got a big shipment of warm water lures for jacks, roosters, GTs and barracuda. We thought it would be a cool addition to revisit Matt’s How to hijack your family vacation with a travel spinning rod article. We have updated it and if you are heading on a vacation and would like to sneak in some fishing or you are specifically traveling for a fishing trip be it a fly or gear trip this article is worth looking at.
Ok, on to the report information. We have an update on the Vedder. The water is at a good height but we are seeing issues with coloured water due to slides in the upper river. We have heard of fish being caught but the water clarity is making things more challenging than normal. Check out the info we have in the Vedder report in the river section below.
The Squamish continues to be good and the road to the upper river is accessible as of Thursday. There may be some snow in the forecast but we are betting that it will be ok. Jordan hit the water this week and has some good updates for you if you are planning a trip. We have our Egg Fishing Course next week so we should have even more info then.
The Stave and Capilano reports have updates. We have still not heard much from the limited reports coming in but they are worth looking at and should see some steelhead and egging opportunities.
Lastly Jason has a saltwater update and again the news is positive. Good numbers of winter chinook are being hooked. See his update at the end of the report.
