OUTLOOK
There is more sun and heat in the forecast, well as long as the sun can poke through the smoke. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the fires up north.
On the fishing front things have been interesting. A number of fisheries that historically have been “on” by now seem to be dragging their heels. Capilano coho, though guys are catching them, have not been hot. There are a number of theories – fireworks have putting them off, they came a little early and scooted up the river before the low water, or they are late and we should still see them coming. We won’t speculate the cause but know that we could see a good wave of fish on any tide and it is worth looking at if you are out on the water.
The pinks have also been a little soft. Fish are in the Squamish, guys are catching them at Furry Creek but there have not been many “hot” reports. Funnily enough we have had some good reports of pinks stacking up in front of the Capilano mouth. Every year is a little different and don’t be scared to think outside the box. Cate’s park used to be the hot spot a few years ago and we have not heard any reports from that direction. It might be worth looking at if you are heading out. Check out Andre’s beach report for more details on the beach scene and Alex and Jordan have reports on how to gear fish and fly fish the Squamish. There have also been some regulation changes on the Squamish system so be sure to familiarize yourself with them before you head out to the river.
The Skagit is one of the solid points of the report. The river is in shape and fishing well. We had some guys out this week. They caught a bunch of fish and there was one well above average sized rainbow taken out of the bunch. Check out the Skagit report for more details and pictures.
Finally we’ve got some exciting news on the gear front with some new rods in stock and a great deal on the Rapala Classic Mooching Reel.
