OUTLOOK
River levels did not bump up as much as we expected last week. The Squamish was relatively low for Matt’s course on the weekend and fishing was a challenge. We heard of a few steelhead and bulltrout but overall it was not hot. With more rain this week and Matt on the water again, check out his predictions for this weekend in the river section below.
The Vedder pumped out some more good fish over the weekend and did not blow out with the rain but it started rising on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the weather report and the river levels this weekend!
Max had his intruder course this week and even a number of very experienced tiers were impressed with his tricks, techniques and patterns for making extremely clean, fishable steelhead patterns. For those who missed the course or took the course and wanted a review, we have a step by step of one of his classic patterns in this week’s report. If you are a tier you will not want to miss it!
Matt found some fry up the Squamish and we are hearing other reports of fry from the valley. There is some concern from the rising water levels but cutthroat should be good soon. Check out Andre’s Valley Cutthroat Report for more details.
On the saltwater front we’ve been catching fish in the Harbour and Howe Sound this past week. As usual, for this time of year the fish are moving around a lot so we hope the luck of the Irish are with you this weekend and you can get into some decent action.
With the weather still being a little miserable we are featuring some cold weather essentials. Our Friday Feature Product is the Simms Freestone Gloves and as a special bonus we have decided to put all Simms toques (yes for our friends below the boarder that means a warm hat) on sale as well at 15% off! Take a look at the details on the freestone gloves below and come down to the shop. These are going to be great for the end of winter steelhead season and a must for early lake fishing.
Last but not least do not miss out on our big announcement – we’ve got a not to be missed event coming up on April 1 + April 2.
