Fishing report

We finally have some water!! The last two weeks have been fairly wet and our rivers have been on a steady rise. Thursday the river came up above the two meter mark for the first time this season and although the river was basically unfishable for the day it quickly cleared to very fishable conditions by the next day. These higher water events are great, They disperse fish through our river and keep pressure down. I love when we have these situations because it gives our steelhead a bit of a break.

So far the season is tracking at about the usual pace, There has been a lot of concerns that the numbers are down but it doesn't really seem that way in my opinion. January is usually a bit of a slower month anyway and there should be a good push of fish in the next week. Generally the last week of January is when things start to get really interesting for us. We have a good weather pattern about to move through and the river is in good shape and height now.

If you are interested in a steelhead trip, now is the time to book as once we start getting fish regularly we will fill up quickly. Most weekends are booked but we do have a few towards the end of march. Week days are obviously the best days to fish because the average person is at work and there is less pressure on the river. Give us a call to reserve some dates . I guarantee you are going to have a great time and fish with fantastic equipment.

The last week we were out we managed to find a few fish and even hooked a couple on the fly rods. If you have the desire to learn how to fish for steelheads with a swung fly, you really should look into what we can do for you. We have been fly fishing the Fraser valley for over 15 years now and are well versed in both single and double handed rods. We have taught many beginners how to cast and often hook fish on these lessons.
