Hi all, First post here so here goes. I'm taking a week-long yacht trip from Sidney around the archipelago in the first week of September. I am very interested in fishing while on the trip. The yacht comes with a 10ft dinghy with 4HP motor. My plan will be to fish wherever we moor up in the...

Hot Weather & Hot Fishing Well it looks like Wednesday was the turning point as the slow fishing of the last few days heated up in a hurry! The good coho fishing and good chinook fishing started on Wednesday and continued onto Thursday. The coho fishing off W. Van has been good to great. The...

Hi, yes another newby to the site. I have found this to be a great site with lots of information. I have been lurking for the past week reading as much as I can in preparation for my trip to the Harrison River next weekend. We (my brother and his buddy) have a boat and we all have chest...

April turned out to be an interesting month. It was so cold it felt more like February or March then April! All in all there was some good fishing for those who braved the cold. Earlier in the month we had some good fishing off W. Van, the Freighters and Bell Buoy area, and some good days...

I was at a tackle store today and saw a nifty gadget... it was an underwater video camera that could go as deep as 100ft. It came with an attachment for a downrigger cable. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with such novelties? I'd love to hear a report... I'm not sure they'd be all that...

Hello everyone, hope you had a great fall of catching fish. September saw a huge push of fall Chinook in the Fraser Valley and our guides had some great days fishing spinners on the Fraser and other systems for these hard fighting large fall Chinook. The odd chromer is still entering the...

so finally i decided to get out and fish when my rod has been collecting dust for a long time. It was stupid of me to not bother to get new lines etc, cause i have no idea how long 2 years storage shelf will last. Apparently the big problem for me today was LOSING my hooks, i was tying them...

Fished from a boat in the lower vedder for something different. Fished jigs with prawn, jigs with roe, jigs, spoons, spinners, roe...nothing but a couple coho chasing spinner close to the boat. But, I did hook into an unexpected snag in an area I had been drifting. My float dipped very slowly...

We just started fishing around the lower mainland a year ago after my five year daughter got interested. We mainly enjoy our "lazy" style of fishing around town. Looking forward to mining your experience to improve our abilities. Actually, my daughter usually outfishes us and she has the best...

Is there a reason for the shoulder-to-shoulder fishing at bars like Pegleg and Jones? Is it the accessibility of these locations? The quality of the bar (i.e. fewer rocks + debris to snag tackle on)? The names/popularity? Something else? A combination of one or more these things? I fished Jones...

Hi Guys, I am coming over to Canada from the UK for three weeks from 29th August driving from Banff -Jasper- Whistler and Vancouver, mainly hiking sight seeing, but as a keen coarse and fly angler I hope to spend some time fishing for trout in the rivers/lakes on the way, maybe salmon in...

My son and I went out for a couple of hours to Wellington Bar. It is a nice place to BB for Sox, except there are a couple of nasty snags mid bar that eat up a lot of tackle. This is the third time out in the past week. I hit a sockeye and it fought very good. Got it up to the bar and one...
