A break from the Vancouver 2010 hype
With the weather being so warm and sunny in mid February, we decided to take a coastal cutthroat trout trip during the Olympics hype.
Tidal Fraser River
Although fairly urbanized, the Tidal Fraser River offers year-round fishing for salmon, trout, sturgeon and other smaller species.
Mill Lake
Located in the middle of Abbotsford, Mill Lake has excellent shore access, making it an ideal family fishing destination.
Kokanee
Kokanee are in fact sockeye salmon that only spend their entire lifespan in lakes. Unlike their ocean relatives, their maximal length is only between 12 and 20 inches.
Bait Fishing for Stocked Rainbow Trout
The most basic method used when fishing for stocked rainbow trout is bait fishing.
Lure Fishing for Stocked Rainbow Trout
Lure fishing is another effective fishing method in urban lakes. It is preferred by anglers who want to be active.
Winter Coastal Trout and Char
Coastal streams do not only offer steelhead fishing in the winter months, but good trout and char fishing can also be found. |
