OUTLOOK
Batten down the hatches! Earlier in the week we were watching the weather report and things looked downright scary. The weatherman has dialed back his predictions on the amount of rain coming but it is still one of the biggest storms we have seen early on in salmon season.
In the short term we have very few options for guys who want to go out fishing this weekend. With 100+mm forecasted Friday, Saturday and Sunday it is safe to say all of our river will be too high to fish and anyone braving the elements should be very mindful of rising water levels. Safety-first boys and girls!
Be aware of where you are wading, be smart and be careful. Better yet come down to the shop load up on fly tying materials or leader boards and spend the weekend getting prepared for when the water drops. After this storm the fishing should be excellent. Fish will be coming in with the high water and we expect the best fishing of the season to come after the water drops.
How long will that be? Watch the water levels, watch the weather and check out the river reports below for a few things to look for on each system so you can hit it just right after the storm.
Another great option if you are set on getting out this weekend is lake fishing in the interior. We are still hearing good reports and the weather looks good. It may rain a little in Merritt this weekend but it will look like a sneeze compared to the downpour hitting the coast.
If you are stuck on the couch this weekend Matt has another detailed product review for you guys to look at! One of our favorite reel companies, Nautilus, has finally got stock on their new reel and we have a full cabinet of the Nautilus X Fly Reels. This is one of the coolest reels we have seen with a high tech, light weight, super strong design it should be on everyone’s list if you are considering a new four to eight weight fly reel. Check out the full report HERE today!
Finally, we still have some great courses coming up this fall. Be sure to get a spot in our Introduction to Fly Fishing Course. It’s the last one of 2016!!
