OUTLOOK
Summer fishing is in full swing. We are going to see another beautiful weekend minus the haze. There might see some wind from the southeast over the weekend and it could clear things up a bit as well as bring more moisture. We are not seeing any real rain in the short term forecast but when we look at the 14-day trend there might be a little rain next weekend. This could be good for a number of fisheries and help dampen the smog. As always with it is hard to rely on a 10 day forecast and we can expect things to change.
For this week we have seen some solid pink salmon reports. There have been some moments of brilliant fishing mixed with some average fishing. This is optimistic but still not as good as the pink season was last cycle.
We are hearing about a few more coho being caught from Ambleside with more pinks mixed in. The trolling fleet has been catching a few coho but not as many as we would like. There have also been times of good pink fishing around Point Atkinson with the odd chinook and coho mixed in but again it has been hit and miss. Take a look at Jason’s Vancouver saltwater Report for details.
The Skagit is still fishing well but she is now getting low. This can make the fish a little picky and you will find that timing hatches is more critical. Take a look at Matt’s report for what he has heard from this week of fishing.
Alex has been out to the Vedder for some scouting as well as fishing the Squamish for pinks. He has a bunch of good details on both fisheries.
Jordan was up at Langara for another run of guiding and the fishing was excellent. We have some great pictures. He caught another steelhead in the salt which is crazy and it’s not his first one. The good chinook fishing up there bodes well and we can hope it will trickle down the coast and we will have a strong end of the season.
