Lower Mainland / Fraser Valley Rivers Vedder Chilliwack... Fishing in the V/C is
as good as we've seen in nearly a decade. The recent rains have changed
things a bit but that shouldn't keep anyone away. The big
springs, coho and chum are running very strong on all areas of the
river system. Anglers are experiencing unbelieveable days with some
beautiful chome hatchery coho being landed. Gear anglers using roe,
wool and spinners are doing very well. For swinging flies we suggest
muddlers, egg sucking leeches, and christmas trees (green or blue) for
coho, and purple patters for the chum. We've really loaded up on salmon
flies so be sure to drop in on your way.
Norrish (Suicied) Creek... Fishing exceptionally well for coho. Chums are c&r only.
Stave... The Stave is certainly
not disappointing. Coho and chum are coming up in fantastic numbers.
Their are opportunities for both gear and fly anglers alike.
Harrison... Superb!!! Salmon
runs are phenominal and cutthroat on the fly has seen 21+ inchers in
recent days. Our RFT Fish Outs will be focusing the next few weeks on
this system. Come join us!
Fraser... The main stem of the Fraser has been providing
outstanding salmon and sturgeon opportunities. Usually the fortgotten
sister when things heat up on the tributaries, the Fraser should not be
discounted by any means. Pegleg is poor right now while most of the
other bars are fishing very very well.
Little Campbell... Fishing very well for coho and springs.
Skagit... An amazing year for
the Skagit. Lots of big bullies were brought in for photo
opportunities. This is still an option for fly fisherman looking to get
one last fix before the system closes midnight October 31st. The
bullies are fond of big food items so large leeches, wooly buggers and
rolled muddlers are good options. Bows will still take dries, emergers
and a swung caddis.
Lower Mainland / Fraser Valley LakesThe cooler Fall weather really opens up some local opportunities as the holiday crowd have departed and anglers can move in.
For urban opportunities check out Mill, Green Timbers, and Lafarge. Mill has been fishing really well on black micro leeches and chironomids.
Some valley lakes worth checking out include Rolley, Allouette, Grace, Wolf, Mike, Buntzen, Ross, Kawkawa and Jones.
For gear you can't really go wrong with wedding bands and worms. Take the kids out to a dock and jig with a grub - lots of fun!
BC Interior Morgan
has been fishing really, with Tunkwa and Logan also providing some good
Fall fishing. On the fly micro leeches (olive, and black/red) ,
K-marts, pumpkin heads, and scuds. For gear hot shots and quick fish
are doing well.
