OutlookWith the warm Spring temperatures finally showing themselves on a constant and steady basis, as expected, rivers are starting to come up. Warm weather, April showers, and inevitable snow-melt are all factors that play a key role in how long the rivers will hold their shape before blowing out. So far all the local rivers from the Sea-to-Sky corridor out to the Fraser Valley are starting to rise and colour up.
Please be aware that on any day you are fishing a glacially affected river that the water can rise quickly and unexpectedly, and to exercise caution while wading.
Lots of the local lakes are consistently producing catch-able sized rainbows and cutthroat trout, as well as most of the lakes in the Whistler/Squamish area. These mid-elevation lakes have been ice-free for the most part for the past week or so and as water temperatures rise, fish will become more active and hungrily search out food.
For those with a passion for interior still waters, lots of the lower elevation interior lakes as well as some of the higher elevation lakes are either starting to become, or are completely, ice free.
With lake fishing starting to pick up, Pacific Angler is offering n Introduction to Fly Fishing Lakes course as well as two courses aimed at early season Chironomid tactics: Tying Chironomids with Andre Stepanian (only 2 spots available!), and Chironomid Techniques taught be Trevor Welton.
