OUTLOOK
This is an interesting time of year. For many anglers things are slowing down. Cold, short days may not feel ideal for fishing. We know better than to sugar coat this slower time of year but for the guys and girls who know the fisheries, this shoulder season can actually offer some of the best fishing of the entire season if you know how to watch the weather and plan your trips.
The saltwater scene has actually been very good but the wind really did hamper our efforts this week. Again we dont usually think much about winter chinook until January but we are hearing solid reports and if you still have your boat in the water it is well worth a look. Do some prawning; drop the crab traps take a pass at your favorite winter spring spot. Most of the anglers we have talked too are coming home with a late season feast.
On the river front the Vedder is slowing down but there are still good reports from the anglers who have put in their time. Fresh coho are still being caught and though it is at the back end of the season it is worth a look if you have some time over the next 10 days. We expect it to slow considerably around the middle of the month.
Squamish and Harrison are systems you will also not want to miss if you are planning a trip. We consider this peak time for chum on the Squamish and we are catching bright coho well into the end of November so heading out Squamish way is a great option. We may face some weather issues over the next 3-5 days but if the weather holds this should be excellent. Check out Matts report for more details. The Harrison reports have been mixed but this is also a fishery that can shine in the end of the season. Andre has more info on that front and hitting sloughs this time of year can also be very productive.
Novembers is a fun time for us in the store too. We have time to get back to geeking out on what we love fishing. We have our Steelhead Fly Tying Jam Session coming up and of course we are thinking about Christmas. It is early but if you are already thinking about your list and have loved ones who like to get things done early send them our way and we will make sure you get something good under the tree this year! Good luck and we will see you on the water or in the in the shop.
