Went up today from 9-3 pm and fished runs around On The Way down to past the crossing. No joy but water looked very nice. Quite a few folk out on the river.

Roads were a little dicey this morning but had cleared out by this afternoon. Hopefully it will stay cold for the next few days. Vancook - if you're in Vancouver and feel like splitting the drive / gas some time let me know.

Raining pretty good bottom of promontory at supper time, should wash the white stuff into the river, so should be doable tomorrow at least. Time to drag theses old bones out and see if I can luck into one. Happy New Year everyone.

Glad I stayed in today then as one does not want to get fished out before the main run comes in. ;D

Just shoveled the snow off the driveway and temperature is near the freezing mark right now.

Not that I know of. You can check Drive BC traffic cameras. There is one by the Evans overpass over Highway 1. Roads will be fine in the Valley today. It is near the freezing mark at 10 AM.

Went out for a couple hours today. No fish for me, but it was a nice day. If they are a fish of a thousand casts I got a little bit closer to catching one ;D
