Vancouver Friday Fishing Report April 19

The Vancouver fisheries have been solid over the past week.  Living on the west coast we are in no short supply of fishing opportunities.  You have the choice of river fishing for steelhead, trout, char or sturgeon, saltwater fishing for winter chinook salmon, crabbing and prawning, or lake fishing for kokanee or trout.  In April you can expect all of these fisheries to be fairly productive.

The winter steelhead fishing is still going strong and should remain to be productive over the next two weeks when the freshet occurs.Fly fishing has been good for cutthroat trout and char as well with the warmer water temperatures and the abundance of fry.  Due to the cooler weather we had this past week the river levels have dropped back down nicely, making for great fishing conditions.

The ocean fishing really turned around this past weekend.  Jason was out teaching the Pacific Angler Mastering Local Saltwater Fishing course and was able to hook into several large winter chinook salmon over at the Hump.  Jason was pretty excited to say the least!

The lake fishing scene locally has also been good.  Our locally stocked lakes should continue to be good until the beginning of June, depending on when each lake was stocked.  These lakes are a great place to take the family or friends new to the sport of fishing.

Lake fishing in the interior has also been pickup up with lakes icing off every week. It’s going to be an awesome lake fishing season.

The Vancouver weather forecast is calling for a mixture of rain, sun and cloud today, rain and cloud on Saturday and then sunny conditions on Sunday.  You can expect up to 10 mm of precipitation.  However, the weekend and going into the next week is looking dry.

The marine forecast for the Strait of Georgia for the weekend is calling for northwest winds ranging from 10 to 20 knots.  Make sure to check the latest marine forecast as conditions can change rapidly on the ocean.
