Fishing Report February 2015

   Happy new fishing season to everyone out there, I hope you have all survived the busy holiday season and are able to enjoy some of the spectacular weather we are getting right now. Its been warm, sunny and beautiful for a full week here now and its beginning to feel a lot like spring time.  The fishing has been amazing as well. This January has been one of the best starts to the steelhead season I have ever seen or heard of. It is amazing to think that the majority of the run is still coming. We have seen a great size variance to our fish and there has been a great wild to hatchery fish ratio. Its great to see that our wild fish are doing so well. Some of our local flows have this reputation of being busy and if you are stuck in your ways you will find this the case. Often it just takes a bit of ingenuity and desire to get off the beaten track to find good fishing. The chiliwack is still your best bet locally to find great steelheading, just keep in mind it is an urban river.

The sturgeon fishing is currently good from what I have heard. I do not fish the fraser during this time of year for ethical reasons. I believe these great fish need a chance to recuperate during the time of year that their metabolism is at its slowest. The don't fight that good and they don't heal up as fast as they could. Therefore I just leave them alone. There is lots of other fish we can target during this time of season.

We will begin fishing for sturgeon again around the middle of  April, by that time of the year the fraser has already began warming up, the first eulichons will begin to run and the sturgeon will be on the prowl. This is one of my favorite times of the year to target sturgeon. They are hungry, aggressive and fight really well due to their great diet of protein rich smelt. You will be fishing out of our new 23ft custom weld that is full covered, heated, transport Canada approved commercial vessel. This boat is the ultimate sturgeon fishing platform. It is fully outfitted with the latest electronics, has a walk around engine bay, anchor winch and great power supplied by a 383 stroker custom built by haxby marine. I'm sure you will enjoy your day in a very comfortable ride.

Give us a call to experience some of British Columbia's best sport fishing. We can make your trip a memorable and exciting adventure that wont be forgotten.

Cheers and great fishing
Oliver
