Chinook Salmon Salmon fishing on the Fraser River has been fair to good this past week with good numbers of Chinook Salmon being caught by anglers putting in their time. Average size has been between 12-20 lbs with a few fish between 20 30 lbs. Although most of these fish have been caught by anglers using the bottom bouncing method, bar fisherman are beginning to get their share. Visibility hasnt been great but now that water levels are stable, we should see steady improvement over the next few weeks. Sturgeon Sturgeon fishing continues to be very good throughout the river. Our guests from Michigan had a great day hooking into 11 fish in just 6 hours. Our largest fish was just over 6 feet with good number of fish between 3 to 5 feet. Sturgeon fishing should remain good throughout the summer with our next peak fishery in September, October and November. Best baits vary during summer, try using eels, salmon roe and night crawlers. If youre wanting to experience a trip of a lifetime, give us a call. Summer Salmon fishing Opportunities and availability update. Summer is creeping up on us fast. Already the salmon are starting to enter the Fraser, before too long we will be hooking into those chrome beauties on a daily basis. Peak Chinook fishing on the Fraser is between mid June and mid July. We still have plenty of good dates available so dont wait until its too late. For those of you who like to fish for sockeye August is primetime. Although we are getting quite full we do still have some morning and afternoon start times. I would suggest booking ASAP so not to be disappointed As most of you probably know, October and November are two of the most spectacular months for salmon, sturgeon, fly fishing and wildlife viewing. Although this is our busiest time for bookings, we still have some excellent dates available. If your wanting to experience some of the best sport fishing British Columbia has to offer, dont miss out on this falls salmon and sturgeon fishing opportunities. Trout The staff at Hubs reports slow fishing on most of our local lakes. This hot weather continues to make trout fishing much more difficult. Trout will swim in deeper water during the heat of the day, coming up to feed during hours of low light. Try fishing late evening or early morning for best feeding periods. You can also try trolling deep using lure divers or downriggers to get your lure near the bottom. We dont expect trout fishing to improve much until we see some cooler weather. If you need an updated report, call or drop by Hub Sports at 604- 859-8316. If your visiting the Vancouver area and would like to experience some of our remote river fishing. We are currently offering day trips into a few of our local remote rivers. Trout fishing has been fair for trout up to 4 lbs on both fly and spoons. Interior Lakes Fly Fishing This past week was much the same as last week with warmer weather putting down the fish. Insect hatches are more likely in the early morning or just before dark. We fished Bridge Lake near 100 Mile House this past weekend with much the same results. Early morning was best with prolific Mayfly hatches as well as a few Damsels and Caddis flys coming off late morning. Our biggest fish was 2.7 lb rainbow, just big enough to take first place in our 11th annual Bridge Lake fishing derby. If you would like updates reports for Kamloops/Merritt area call or drop by Logan Lake Fly Shop 250-523-9711 Steelhead The Chehalis River is now open for salmon fishing and summer steelhead. Water levels are extremely low at this time so fishing for either species will be difficult. There are a few springs in the river and winter steelhead kelts. You can identify a steelhead kelt by its reddish color and thin body. A kelt is a post spawn steelhead, not much good for eating and should be released unharmed. If you need a last minute report, call Hub Sports at 604-859- 8316 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)
