OUTLOOK
Epic weather incoming! It looks as though we are about to see one of the first long heat spells of the summer! All weekend and well into next week we should see sun and temps in the mid to high 20s. Though it is great for spending time outdoors, the heat will affect our fisheries. In our reports below we will look at what to expect.
On the saltwater front we have had one of the most solid early Julys on record. The coho are coming in and we are still getting solid chinook reports. The heat will make the winds more of an issue so make sure to follow the marine forecasts closely and check out Jason’s saltwater report below.
We have an update on the Vedder. There have not been many fish reported but at least the conditions are good for fishing. Alex has more information in the Vedder river report below. The Capilano is still low and we are expecting the beach to be the focus for most anglers. We have an updated river report and Andre has some updates from the beach.
Even with the hot weather we have still heard some interior lake reports and Andre has a brief update with some tactics to try in the hot weather. Check it out in the lake fishing report.
This week on the Skagit front, Brendan has a really cool article on the bugs you can expect to see. He has some great pictures of the bugs with a little breakdown on their life cycles and characteristics. If you are a tyer you will not want to miss the cool pictures but also if you are new to understanding the bug life on the river this will give you a really good foundation. Brendan was on the river yesterday and we have some intel from what he saw and Matt is heading up today so we have some more reports next week.
On to the report!
