Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report: July 15, 2016
« on: July 15, 2016, 08:03:26 PM »

OUTLOOK

There is some thunder and rain in the forecast for the interior. Up the valley we can expect some showers but the Vancouver weather forecast has improved over the last 12 hours and if the weatherman is on his game it looks to be a pretty nice mix of sun and cloud over the weekend.  With any luck this will mean good fishing conditions for the local fisheries.

The Capilano got a short but heavy bump of water last week and we have had reports that some larger than normal coho have already reached the cable pool. As always they have been tight lipped in the middle of the day but it is definitely worth looking at if you are heading up for an early morning fish.

A bump of water will hurt the beach fisherman and the drownrigger anglers fishing off Ambleside toward Point Atkinson but the river has been low for a few days and with any luck some more fish will be stacking up along the North Shore soon. Check out the Capilano River report and the Beach Fishing Report for more details.

The Vedder has been slow but water conditions are getting very good. We expect good reports soon and they could come this weekend. If you want to get out float fishing for chinook it might not be a bad weekend. In the next 2 weeks expect a strong push of fish to enter the river. Will it be this weekend? Alex’s Vedder River fishing report has the latest intel.

The Skagit and Thompson anglers have been out fly fishing for rainbows and we have had some good early reports. Both are still a little high for ideal fishing conditions but they are dropping. The Thompson has dropped almost a half meter in the last 7 days. Matt is heading out to the Skagit this weekend so we’ll have a detailed report after his trip.

On the saltwater scene fishing has been hit and miss. There are a number of spots producing fish but no stand out “hot spot”. Check out Jason’s Saltwater report for details on all the spots that have been working and what we predict for the near future.
