November Fly Of The Month, Kelseys Hope

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:31:19 +0000

This months fly pattern is a local favourite for Coho Salmon and Cutthroat trout; it’s called Kelsey’s Hope. I use this fly extensively when fly fishing for Coho and Cutthroat on the Fraser and Harrison rivers and it seems to out fish most other patterns when the fishing is tough and the fish are finicky. I use a quick short retrieve with this fly as it imitates a darting salmon fry. It’s also a great pattern for targeting Coho Salmon on our costal beaches. Give this fly a try I’m sure you will like the results.

Squamish River Chum Salmon Opportunities

admin — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:38:20 +0000

Returns of chum salmon to the Squamish River in 2009 are sufficient to provide
a retention opportunity on the Squamish River.

Effective 00:01 hours November 11, 2009 until 23:59 hours November 29, 2009 in
the mainstem of the Squamish River downstream of the powerline crossing located
approximately one and a half (1.5) kilometres upstream of the Cheakamus River
you may retain:

- one (1) chum per day.

You may also retain one (1) hatchery marked coho per day on the mainstem
Squamish River downstream of the powerline crossing until December 31, 2009.

The Cheakamus River and Mamquam River as well as all tributaries to the
Squamish River downstream of the powerline crossing remain closed to the
retention of chum. The opportunities on the Cheakamus and Mamquam Rivers remain
at:

- one (1) hatchery marked coho per day.

Sturgeon Report November 7, 2009

admin — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:24:20 +0000

The day started off with the typical November down pour of rain, but that didn't keep the fish from biting. The sturgeon fishing was nothing less than spectacular today. The guys Dave, Jeff, Matt and John on my boat hooked 25 sturgeon and boated 20 with a couple of double headers to keep things interesting. Our other boat managed 16 sturgeon to the boat as well, that’s 36 sturgeon in only 6 hours of fishing, can it get any better? We'll find out tomorrow. Fresh Chum Salmon roe was again the bait of choice. The Fraser River always seems to amaze me at this time of the year with big numbers of sturgeon being caught daily.

Matching Sturgeon, Nice fish Matt and John

There are still lots of great fishing opportunities available until the end of November. Give us a call to arrange a great day of sturgeon fishing for you.

Sturgeon Fishing Report, November 3, 2009

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:15:33 +0000

Well a few of the guys from Gateway Mechanical Systems of Calgary decided to take a break from one of their projects here in B.C. and spent a sunny day with us on the Fraser River is hopes of some sturgeon action. Well the mighty Fraser didn't disappoint. The tally for today was 14 sturgeon hooked and 12 were brought to the boat and gently released, pretty good average I'd say. Thanks for the fun day out guys.
There is still plenty of great sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River until the end of November, call today and check it out.

Nice Fish Guys, Dave, Dustin and Wai

Halloween Fishing Report

admin — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:56:39 +0000

Sturgeon fishing has been fantastic on the lower Fraser River with many fish in the 4-7 foot range being caught. Sturgeon fishing in the lower Fraser River is dependent on the tides and with the big mid day tides that we are experiencing right now, loads of sturgeon are pushing in daily. The best bait by far is fresh Chum roe and stink bait. This great sturgeon fishing will continue all through November as well.

Happy Clients With A Nice Sturgeon

October Fly Of The Month, The Purple People Eater.

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:02:47 +0000

This months fly is what I call "The Purple People Eater" This fly is deadly for catching Chum Salmon on the Harrison River. I fish it under a type 3 sink tip and the Chum Salmon seem to key in on the purple marabou and the takes are quite agressive. Tie up a few and give them a try and you'll see what I'm talking about, Chums love them!

Fishing Report Oct. 19, 2009

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 05:04:32 +0000

With all the well needed rain recently we have seen a huge push of Chum Salmon entering into the Harrison river system and the run should peak over the next week or so. Purple and cherise jigs are working great, as well as orange and black marabou flies. The confluence of the Harrison and Fraser rivers is a good bet but can get busy on the weekends. Remember the daily limit is 2 Chum Salmon per angler.

Chum Chum Chum and more Chum Salmon

admin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:48:10 +0000

October marks the return of the Chum salmon to the Fraser and Harrison Rivers and this year promises to be spectacular with plenty of fresh fish already in the system. Fly anglers will have a great time fishing for Chum Salmon as they are very receptive to purple/cherise marabou flies being the most popular as well as blue/chartruse marabou flies as this one.

Chum Salmon will test any fly fishers with their powerful runs and strength. Come and check out Chum Salmon fishing on the Harrison River, and see what BC salmon fishing is all about.
