OUTLOOK
Happy new year everyone and we hope 2018 will be a good one on both the life front and the fishing front. Most of us are getting back the grind after some time off over Christmas but if you are looking to get out for some peace and quiet after the busy holiday season there are a number of fisheries that are fishing really well right now.
First off is the Vedder steelhead fishery. Though numbers from the derby were poor, we have heard of a number of fish this week and it is worth getting out. We have more info on this in the Vedder River report section.
The Squamish is also still producing positive bulltrout reports. A number of friends and customers hit the water over the last 10 days and though there have not been any big number days, anglers are consistently catching good numbers and the size of the fish continues to be large. The weather is also something that is very interesting this week and could mean even better fishing to come. Check out Matt’s Squamish report for more details.
The Stave is another one to start looking at. All the crowds are gone from salmon season and there are way less dead fish littering the ground so it is quite pleasant. We have not heard any recent reports but in our journals our notes say this is the time to get out to catch white fish, bulltrout and cutthroat with egg imitations where the chum were spawning a few weeks ago.
Lastly the winter chinook scene continues to be solid. Eddie and Jason have both been out quite a bit and Jason has some good intel on the fishing and prawning in out saltwater section at the end of the report.
This week we are also taking a look at some fly tying. Jordan has been playing around with some super cool shrimp patterns and the techniques in these patterns can be adopted for a number of different applications. Check out his write up below as it highlights some tricks on how to use UV glues more effectively.
