There are hatchery steelhead there but it is still quite early. The run is not much more than a few hundred fish and tends to bunch up over a few weeks later in the winter. Little bumps of fish appear from around Christmas right into early spring.  Not mentioned is the whitefish in that system. I have fished the Alouette for 40+ years and while it may not be what it once was, I wish I lived within walking or biking distance. You are are a young fellow in a great place to learn a lot about the sport of angling.

Was just at the ally today at the GOOD spots, it is DEAD no trout, whitefish, steelies or anything,  just some spawning tomatoes we need rain I love the allouette it's a great river especially if you live by it, I wish I did

Don't give up its the early season scouting that will help you hit pay dirt later in the year

The aloutte is a very fragile system that already has more rods than it needs fishing it.  The steelhead run is very small and fragile as well... the last thing this river needs is guys coming from all over to pound the very few fish that make it up the river.  Please think twice before posting reports on small rivers.

Tight lines and best of luck for the steelies this year

I ran into a group of 4 guys that drove from north van because they heard fishing was good,it was funny, they were lined up like vedder salmon season,on a run that was barely big enough for 2 guys.

Most of the fishable water is on private property. So if you go you could be trespassing. It is also one of the very few rivers where the land owners actually own the river bed as well. Some of the residents dont mind and some will be very angry that your on their property. The river is not an easy river to fish.

 Yup the best thing to do is to not respond to this thread so that it gets lost amond the threads. Yes this system is very fragile and it seems to be getting worse every year

  Go fish the north Alouette in the Pitt Meadows area.

[Geff_t]

Oh and please make sure to kill your limit of bass every time out

I think the real problem with the Alouette is not the people fishing it, it's growth in Maple Ridge. IMO the river should be closed right down to Neaves road for much of the year.

  The North Alouette river is definatly affected by growth but that growth is not directly on the river but up in the hills. The run off from the streets goes almost directly into the river because the retention ponds that they have built are not working properly in the lower sections of the developments. Now the South Alouette is more protected which is great. ARMS does a great job in protecting the river. Now as far as I can tell there is one or two tribs on the South Alouette that might run dirty into the river but as soon as it gets really bad they have someone go out and check to see what is causing it. This is alot better then what the city of Coquitlam is doing.

the alouette doesnt need any more rods in it. it is so fragile
