SPEY ROD DEALS ON NOW!

If you have ever seen Spey fishing, you have surely thought of trying it for yourself.

Spey fishing (double handed fly fishing) Can be an incredibly fun and rewarding experience. It may look tricky but is easy to learn and a much more efficient way of covering large amounts of water rapidly and easily.

There has never been a better time to get into this increasingly popular fishing style!

Come check out our great deals on a variety of rod makes!!!

We are now in the heart of salmon season. This is a very exciting time to fish your favorite salmon bearing rivers. In the shop we are hearing steady reports of good fishing on the local flows such as the vedder and the stave.

Most fisherman are using the widley prefered drift fishing teqniphes and using wool, roe, blades and jigs with succsess.

As the springs start to colour up i suggest targeting the coho with small hooks and pink and peach wool, fresh roe or small spoon/bluefoxes if you would like to change things up from float fishing.

Remember when targeting coho to fish water that is not heavily occupied by springs

Interior Stillwaters May 2011

Stillwater fishing has officially begun. While locally we didn’t really feel the “El Nino” winter, the interior sure did. To put it into perspective, Horse Lake came off April 4th last year, but didn’t come off till May 5th this year. (Horse Lake being one of the lowest lakes of the “100 Mile area” plateau (3250′ elevation)). So don’t be surprised if the annual hatch cycles are delayed a week or two.

Fishing won’t be fast and furious on lakes which have just came off, but you can have decent days and you may hit the double digit fish count. On lakes that have only been off a week or less, stick to chronamids from apprx. 10 am till 2pm and maybe switch up to micro leeches 2pm onwards, as the chronamid hatches will be small and short during the day. Moreover, on days with little to no hatches, try “offset” micro leeches under an indicator in black, olives, maroons, and purples. Anyways, get out there, good luck, and tightlines.

The winter Chinnook fishery is now upon us. Luckily for us living along the coast we are fortunate to have salmon fishing optunities almost all year round. Winter chinnook fishing is natoriously hit or miss. But can be very fun and rewarding if you are willing to put up with the weather. Fishing is productive around the mouth of Capilano, Howe Sound, and the south and west ends of Bowen Island. Most people prefer to fish anchovies behind a flasher but also take a good selection of hoochies in a variety of colours (Green Glo, Purple Haze, and Army Truck) as well as some Coyote spoons (Cop Car, Army Truck, Nasty Boy, Green Glo).

Local Rivers Febuary 2011!

The local rivers have been fishing very well for steel so far this month, particularly the Vedder (Chiliwack River). We’ve heard of fish being caught on a daily basis, with some guys tagging into multiple fish on a single outing.

As is the norm this time of year fish are steadily moving into all the river systems influenced by fluctuating water levels. This has spread good numbers of steelhead throughout the Upper, lower and mid-river sections.

When you head out be sure to swiftly and effectivley cover as much water as possible using dew worms, roe, shrimp, gooey bobs, plastic worms (White, Pink, Purple and Orange) as well as jigs. Anglers also have a good chance of catching fish on spinners & spoons.

If your a fly guy, dont forget to pick up some of Christian’s excellent custom intruders. He will have recommendations as to what will be working at the time.
