OUTLOOK
Well it looks like things are cooling down a bit. The saltwater fishery has been slower this week probably due to the big tides but we have been finding fish every day. With better tides and no real rain in short term forecast the Capilano and the mouth of the Fraser could provide some epic late season fishing this coming week. We should start seeing pods of coho and chum hitting the mouth of the Fraser as well as pods of late chinook hitting the river.
The river fishing has been good but not without its challenges. Again with no major rain in the short term forecast the Vedder should continue to produce but be challenging because of low clear water. We do not think the rain today will change things. We have had more chinook reports this week and coho are coming in strong. More details are in Alex’s Vedder report for more details.
The Squamish is still a little early for big waves of salmon but we are hearing reports of a few coho and the odd chum showing up. It is still coloured on the main stem so fishing tributaries is smart. Trying the lower river this week could pay off but it is a bit of a gamble. Historically this is the week that the first big pushes of chum and coho hit the river but it has not really started yet. Check out the Squamish report for more info.
The Harrison is also another good one to look at. The water is low so hiking is good and we are hoping it will shape up for a good season. Andre has all the details in his report below.
Last but not least our feature product this week is our beading wall – Check our amazing selection of beads and take advantage of a good deal on a great way to imitate salmon eggs for your fall fishing outings.
We’ll be open regular hours Friday, Saturday, Sunday and closed on Monday to celebrate Thanksgiving and an extra day out of the shop to get on the water!
