Current Report
Fraser Valley report for the
week of Jan 17, 2007
Winter fishing in the Fraser
Valley can be quite good.
Unlike the rest of Canada,
the SW corner of British
Columbia is relatively mild.
None of our waters freeze as
temperatures rarely reach
below 36 F, 0 C. The
Vancouver / Fraser Valley
has the warmest climate in
Canada during winter. Our
coldest months are December
and January with
temperatures beginning to
warm by early to mid
February. By late February
early March, resident and
migrating birds are
beginning to build nests,
our flowers are taking bloom
unlike the rest of Canada
where temperatures are still
in the - 10 to - 30 range.
During winter months we fish
for Sturgeon, Trout and one
of the more sought after
game fish Steelhead. All 3
of these species are local
to the area offering good to
excellent opportunities. We
fish local and some harder
to reach rivers for trophy
trout and steelhead.

Steelhead
The Vedder has fished well
again this week, some water
clarity issues but the cold
weather this last week kept
the clay banks from spilling
slit. Now that the air
temperatures have warmed we
could see a bit more silt in
the river. When this occurs,
try fishing the upper river
near the boundry. This area
seems to be producing some
good results and is
maintaining fair to good
clarity.
STS Guide Ken Deptuck is on
the water almost daily. Ken
has managed to hook
Steelhead on a regular
basis. Most of Kens fish
have been caught using cured
salmon eggs fished under a
float. If your wanting to
learn how the Pros do it,
book a trip with Ken today.
Winter Steelhead and trout
Fly-fishing
A peak at fishing
opportunities in the
Vancouver area - update
Trout fishing can be very
good during winter months.
We offer Jet boat trips on
larger rivers like the
Harrison and Fraser and hike
and wade and raft trips on
harder to reach remote
rivers. Our Guided Trout
fishing adventures is a FLY
FISHING ONLY Fishery. Some
of the harder to reach
rivers can offer some
incredible winter fishing
for trout as large as 5 lbs.
Your average size is more in
the 10 - 14 inch range but
good numbers of fish between
12 - 18 inches are present.
(see Spring for peak
fishing).
