Sea-Run’s Weekend Fishing Report
April 15thSteelhead
We are closing in on the end of the Winter/Spring Steelhead fishery locally, but this does not mean that fishing will not remain good until the end of the month. There have been some bigger pushes of fish over the course of the last 2 weeks on the Vedder/Chilliwack, and have seemingly been some of the better numbers we have seen all season. Fresh fish will continue to push through the system right until the beginning of May. A good majority of fish that have been caught mid to lower sections have been dripping sea-lice which is always nice to see. It is not uncommon to have excellent Steelhead fishing on the Vedder at the end of April, so we are hoping it will continue for the next 2 weeks.
Cutthroat
April is the month for Coastal Cutthroat Trout! Salmon fry are popping in a good majority of your local streams and Cutthroat are on the move looking for the next meal. Imitating these Salmon fry are possible with flies and lures, and both techniques can be just as effective as the other.
For flies, epoxy minnows, tied down minnows, Joe's minnow, and many more "fry patterns" will be your go-to's. Casting lures and spinners, you will want to focus on 3/16oz Gibbs Crocs in variations of Silver and Gold, as well as Blue Fox Vibrax spinners in Size 0 & 1, as well as Panther Martins.
Saltwater Chinook
Angling for Chinook has been quite consistent for the most part We have had lots of success with a variety of spoons such as 3.5 & 4 Pesca and Coyote Spoons in different colour variations, as well as anchovies fished in teaser heads. It has seemingly been a common theme to get fish in the high teens and low 20's this past week, so we are hoping this continues as it has been quite the trend.
Lakes (Interior & Local)Well it may only be Mid-April, but lake fishing is already in full swing for Local Lakes and even a good amount of Interior Lakes.
Local Lakes to try:
Como Lake
Lafarge Lake
Sasamat Lake
Buntzen Lake
Rice Lake
Alouette Lake
Kawkawa Lake
Mike Lake
Interior Lakes such as Tunkwa, Stump, and Peterhope have all been fishing very well from reports and things will only get better and better as the weather warms up, lakes turn over, and more lakes become iced-off.
