Significant Rainfall Expected - Should push in new fish
With several deep low pressure systems stacking up against the West Coast of Vancouver Island, the Stamp River should see very significant water flow increases which will hamper fishing possibilities in the mid and lower river this mid week. With 100-200 mm of rain expected in the next 24 hours, we will monitor the river levels and advise how it's unfolding. Environment Canada has issued possible flash flood alerts and WARNINGS to be careful near rivers and streams.
Even with the storm looming, the upper upper river should still be really good as it stays clear from the Ash River up...weekend plans should still be good to go. Traditionally we see major movements of fish with high water events signaling those in the ocean to head to the streams.
On a different note our guides, Kevin and Shaun, encountered an anomaly over the weekend while Steelhead fishing, they encountered a beautiful fresh large Chinook Salmon! In December! They thought it was going to be a record Steelhead based on the fight and size and how Chrome the fish was. A shocker to see it was a Chinook! That experience would may anyones knees weak!
Most of the fish in the lower system are mostly still fall Steelhead. The upper River continues to be the most productive.
Steelhead will be caught on the Stamp River everyday from now until mid April. Steelhead fishing is a BC tradition that has deep roots and I can’t think of better place to enjoy such a past time.
