OUTLOOK
Fall is one of our favorite times of year to fish. There are tons of options. We are hitting the “prime time” for a number of fisheries and one of the biggest fisheries for the lower mainland, fall salmon river fishing, is just ramping up. Long story short, get out fishing.
This week we recommend looking at saltwater in a big way. We may not have had a gangbuster saltwater salmon fishing season but the Capilano River mouth is fishing really well and though the mouth of the Fraser has been hit and miss we have high potential for great fishing. There are about 2-4 weeks left in the fishery and the best could be yet to come. Check out Jason’s Saltwater Report for more info. We have guide boats out all week, Matt is hitting the water on the weekend and Sam has been putting in some time on the saltwater as well so come on down to the shop and we will have the latest reports fresh off the water.
River trout fishing on the Skagit and other interior trout streams has been great. We have had 2 or 3 of the best reports of the season come in from late last week and early this week. There is still time left in the season so don’t miss out on one of the best times of the year.
Lake fishing has also been awesome – wow I haven’t had a report in a long time were so many fisheries are fishing well. Andre has some details on what we have been hearing from lake country. Check it out.
Last but absolutely not least, salmon river fishing season is starting to ramp up. We have good reports from the Vedder and even a few early reports from the Squamish. We haven’t heard anything from the Harrison yet but now is the time to get out scouting.
We have a fun challenge for you guys this week. Back in the day (circa 1998-2002) when Matt was going to university, had no family commitments and way too much time on his hands, the challenge was to catch a coho, chinook, chum, Skagit bulltrout, Skagit rainbow and Interior Lake rainbow in a 36 hr period. To pull it off you leave Vancouver, hit the Harrison or Vedder, land your chum, coho and chinook in the morning, then catch the afternoon hatch on the Skagit. When things get dark you head to lake country, camp for the night and lake fish. If you are missing one of the species, you can take a shot at them on your drive home. Matt only pulled it off 3 times. So if any of you can make it happen, he has been a little home bound with the new baby so he needs to live vicariously through you! Send pictures if you can pull it off!!
GOOD LUCK AND SEE YOU ON THE WATER.
