OUTLOOK
Summer is in full swing and we are in for some more epic weather this week. Temps might even hit the 30 mark on Monday. What does this mean for fishing?
On the saltwater front high temps can sometimes mean wind but at least in the short term forecast it doesn’t look bad for the weekend with 5-15knots NW. Keep a close eye on the weather when heading out because things do change fast.
We have been hearing very good reports across the saltwater front and the beach fishing is picking up. Sun will make the fish go a little deeper and they might not come as close to shore, but coho fishing has been excellent, there are still lots of chinook opportunities and at least in the mornings before the sun hits the water beach fishing should be good. Check out Jason’s saltwater report and Andre’s beaching fishing report below.
On the river front we are hearing some more positive reports from the Vedder chinook fishery. The Capilano is still very low and we expect that to continue. You can see updates in the river sections below.
The Skagit and the Thompson are great opportunities for classic river fly fishing this time of year. Matt was out last weekend and if you missed it Brendan had an awesome report on the different bugs on the Skagit in last week’s report. This week, Matt has an update and a piece on what he puts in his pack for a Skagit trip. We also have some info on the Thompson River if you are venturing into the interior.
Last but not least we have another episode of Where in The World is Jordan Simpson. He just got back from a trip up to Langara guiding and has a fun play by play on his trip. It really lays out what a great trip to Haida Gwaii looks like. Check it out at the end of the report.
On to the report!
