OUTLOOK
It is derby weekend and it looks like the fishing is turning on just in time! We have had some solid reports off the Bell Buoy and around the corner down south. With boats out all week there have been days where we had to work hard to get some fish but there have also been some moments of brilliance. Almost all boats are coming home with big chinook, pinks and the odd hatchery coho in the mix. The weather looks good for the weekend. We are going to see some northwest winds Saturday, Sunday and Monday but it shouldn’t be anything we can’t handle.
There are big low tides mid morning that should be nice for anglers fishing from the beach and then we get a nice high slack in the evening to push fish in during the afternoon.
Things are looking great for the freshwater anglers as well. The Skagit is fishing well, and the Squamish is also a great bet it you want to get out for pinks. Alex is out this week hitting the Squamish and will have good reports next week.
Sean from the shop is heading out to the Thompson for some trout fishing this weekend and we have a little feature on this fishery. With all the fires we have held off reporting on the Thompson but it is an awesome option for some summer trout fishing.
We’ll see you in the shop or on the water!
