Current Report
Fraser Valley report for the week of April 08, 2004 Roger Dornan owner of Hubs would like to thank all of you who once again made Hub Sports annual sale another great success. If you didnt get a chance to get into Hubs during the sale Weekly update Fraser River Report Sturgeon fishing has picked up a bit this week but overall the fishing is still pretty slow. Sturgeons are on the move towards the lower river where soon the eulachon will enter the river. We have had a few reports of good success but no one particular area has had any kind of consistency. We have been covering lots of water fishing from Chilliwack all the way down to Surrey, pick up a fish here, fish there. Water visibility is poor with lots of debris in the river. The past two days we have seen a substantial rise in water levels which would indicate some snowmelt in the north of the province. If this warm weather continues we could be in for an early freshet. Although our spring sturgeon fishery has had a slow start I would expect a great improvement over the next week or two. Tides this week are favorable so you might want to get out and give it a try. We still have room for this Sunday if you want to get out and give it a try. First Ever Sturgeon Workshop. Come learn from the pros. This seminar is custom designed for the novice to advanced angler. You will learn how easy it really is to catch sturgeon on the Fraser River. May 15- Sold Out May 22 Sold Out May 16 - 3 spots available Cost $150.00 per person For more information: http://www.guidebc.com/sturgeo nseminar.asp Trout Cutthroat Trout fishing has been excellent all week. Salmon fry are now in abundance throughout the Fraser Valley. Most of the local lakes are fishing very well for both rainbow and cutthroat trout. Interior lakes have also begun to fish well with good reports coming from the Merritt / Kamloops area. This weekend should be a great one for angling in the Fraser Valley and Interior area. The weather is supposed to be nice all weekend so get out there and enjoy some of that great BC fishing. Our next peak trout fishery for sea-run fish is from mid June through mid July for Sea- Run Trout up to 15 lbs. Good numbers of fish between 4 - 8 lbs is average with the occasional trophy trout between 10 15 lbs. These fish are fresh out of the ocean and willing to battle and test your angling skills. We mostly target these fish with a fly but we occasional use spoons and spinners. Steelhead Vedder River The Vedder River is producing some good results this past week. Water conditions are perfect for both gear and fly anglers. Be sure to pick up you new fishing license and steelhead tag if youre planning on going out this weekend. Conditions change quickly at this time of year, I would suggest called the guys down at Hub Sports before heading out, they have up to the hour reports on local river conditions. You can reach Hubs at 604-859-8316 or drop by at 34917 Essendene Ave in Abbotsford. Harrison River/Lake The Harrison River has fished well the past few days. Salmon fry are abundant throughout the river as well as the lake. As the Fraser rises, Cutthroat trout will move into the river and eventually end up in the lake in search of salmon fry. Over the next month the trout fishing will improve greatly as long as this warm weather trend continues. Were out on the water daily, so if youre looking for some good trout fishing in the Harrison area, give us a call. We have been fishing and guiding in the Harrison area for over 20 years. Remember to conserve your catch Tight Lines and we will see you on the water Vic Carrao www.guidebc.com sts@guidebc.com 604- 671-FISH ( 3474)
