Over the past 2 weeks we are seeing tons and tons of fresh Chum and Coho salmon enter local rivers, more than we have seen in many years! I expect the fishing to be excellent for the month of November. Yesterday I swung some of my custom tied flies for 3 hours on the Squamish river and hooked into about 15 fresh Chums, many with sea lice and in prime shape because they are only a few hours in the river from the ocean! It's gorgeous out here on the rivers in November, plenty of salmon, eagles and scenery, plus very few anglers. We can pick you up from your Vancouver hotel too for the walk and wade Squamish river trips. The Squamish is a real gem!
