River took a little jump around 8 when we left and had a little bit of gray colour to it, perfect conditions and hooked one in last 5 mins to make sure I dont get skunked 2 days in a row  ;D ;D   Was pouring rain when we left and forecats for tonight is rain also, fishing should be pretty decent tomorrow if this keeps up, hopefully the river will come up a bit and get some colour.  ;)

Tomorrow may not be that great because the temp is suppose to be really high, the only chance you'll have is by getting into a deeper hole with lots of cover and make sure your offering is really small, I hit one today on a little trout spoon. Sunday however should be a very good day if the temp hits 21 tomorrow. This should trigger some snow melt giving the river a galcier colour and maybe some clay from the banks up higher, also we are suppose to have some rain on Sunday and it should be warm too, enough that snow melt will continue.

Good luck to every one going out on the weekend, hope you have fun!

River jumped a few inches last night due to the 27 degrees it reached here in the Valley yesterday, should make for good fishing. Saw lots of fry this morning excited about the rising waters and the pinks along with chum will be heading to the ocean.

The Fraser River was on the rise as well and was coloring up, the freshet has finally started.

I had a good time out on Sunday AM.  My buddy landed 3 steelhead ( I watched ) Nice day on the river, not crowded and thought that the water conditions were clear.

Wow good job, only heard of 2 fish landed on Sunday (and the 3 me and my buddy lost). All in all this week should be good I think.

Conditions looked good today, few anglers out, a bit windy but no snow today so far. Heard of only one fish taken, that was by a seal at KWB. ???

If going out dress warmly as it feels like January fishing weather. :o
