OUTLOOK
January is finally picking up. Warm weather and a mix of sun and light rain are in the forecast. Winter anglers know this usually means good fishing. We had some excellent reports from last weekend and we are excited to see what the next week will bring. It is time to escape the indoors and hit the water.
Steelhead reports are coming in consistently from the valley. Check out the river reports below from Max, Sam and Alex for the latest and some suggestions on gear and presentations. Matt was up the Squamish this last weekend for his egg fishing course and though they had to work hard stomping through deep snow to find fish when they found them, fishing was pretty awesome. We expect good fishing this weekend on the Squamish so don’t miss this weeks report.
Bull trout fishing is picking up on all systems with the warm weather and though egg fishing is still the preferred method this will shift over mid next month. Andre has a batch of his simple yet famous Bull Busters flies in the shop and he has a write up on his experiences and theories behind these great minnow imitations. Check out more info in the “Story Time with Dre” feature and come down to the shop to get a few to round out your box. They are a go to fly for our guides when we start swinging flies next month.
Saltwater fishing has not missed a beat and continues to be very good. It is a great time to make sure your boat has made it through the worst of the winter and get out for some prawning, crabbing and winter spring fishing. We have a new top spoon on the wall this week and it is our Friday Feature Product so you can get it at 10% off! Pesca has tweaked their already awesome spoon and we have been test fishing it for a few months. The results have been awesome. Jason has a big review of them below as well as an up to date saltwater report. Matt and Jason are heading out this weekend and will have more reports next week.
Finally we have a great line up of courses coming up in February. From our always-popular Introduction to Spey Casting to a new Warm Water Fly Workshop with guest instructor Dennis Gamboa we have the class for you this February.
