fishing report

January 2, 2018

I hope that you have all weathered the holidays well and are ready to move on to the new year. We are excited to see many of our regular guests again and some new faces joining into the season. After a busy fall we took a bit of a rest period. Now that the cold embrace of winter is here its time to start focusing on steelhead.

Our rivers are currently low and Gin clear. Fishing has been sporadic at best but they are there and if you put in the time you will find them. It is pretty typical this time of year to have these types of conditions.  We have the first warming trend about to start this week and it should bring a strong push of fish into the system.

Our steelhead will hold out in the Fraser and attempt to migrate in several times if conditions are not favourable. Most will wait for the first good "Bump" of water and then begin heading upstream. Once they are committed they generally continue up. Some will drop back down into good resting areas.

We will begin guiding near the middle of February for steelhead locally. This gives the river enough time for there to be fish spread out from the top to the bottom. Last season we acquired a new raft to add to our arsenal,  the old red one needed to go!!
We will be using the raft on all our trips this season as it is basically pointless to offer a walk and wade trip when the ability to float is available. It offers us the ability to cover way more water in a day, more water should equal more opportunities.
