Welcome to BC, Bryant! I too am a transplant from another Province, although many, many years ago, and yes, it does take time to adapt to your new home waters.
The Pacific Ocean dominates the local fishery: heavy rain, tides, sea run fish, and freshet caused by snow melt (which you would be familiar with!)
Generally, you won’t find the small to medium size stream fishery for native trout/char, that you are used to, close to North Vancouver. Most of the local trout/char fisheries are dominated by anadromous (sea run), or highly migratory fish, the timing of which is usually strongly linked to the fall Pacific salmon spawn. Many of these trout/char will feed on salmon eggs and decaying salmon flesh during/post spawn, then on the emerging fry in the spring.
The Lower Mainland fishery that most closely approximates what you are familiar with would be the Skagit River.
Previous posters have mentioned other fisheries and locations, and also lake and beach fishing. To fully take advantage of local fisheries, you will find that you will need to adapt from what you are used to.
