Pacific Angler's Friday Fishing Report: August 15th, 2014OutlookThe first unsettled weather in over a month rolled through the Lower Mainland this week. With it came some interesting fishing conditions. The sockeye are rolling into the Fraser in good numbers and most of our charters hit it out of the park. The sockeye bite has still been hit and miss to totally on fire, and some days it has been totally off. On Thursday the morning boats limited out with relative ease only to see no fish in the same waters in the afternoon. Some are blaming the weather, bananas, but most fingers are pointing at the pod of hungry Orcas. For those who did well, congratulations. For those who had a tough time, don’t give up. Millions of fish are still on the way and the best is yet to come.
Fishing in the non-tidal Fraser River has been good and should continue to pick up over the next couple weeks. We heard a couple poor reports, most likely a result of the commercial opening, where areas of the river were void of life. For the most part people are getting into fish and again the best is yet to come.
The Vancouver beach fishing is still picking up and we had a number of good reports from the solid tides early in the week. Luckily for the beach fisherman, the rain we had was not enough to bring up the water level in the Capilano River. This should mean more good beach fishing in the weeks to come. Check out Andre’s report below.
The Skagit and Thompson are also still fishing well. Matt was up on the Skagit last week and has an “on the water” report. It will be interesting to see what this weather does to the Skagit and if the sockeye will put the Thompson rainbows “down”. Take a look in the river section below for more details.
All and all this week was a good week out on the water and we have high hopes for this weekend.
