Steelhead

With all the rain the past few days you would have thought that local rivers would have been blown out, not so. The Vedder River was up this morning but still quite fishable for the annual Vedder River Steelhead Derby. Weigh in was at 2pm, 14 steelhead were entered with largest being 13.8lbs. STS Guide Thomas Rutschmann placed 2cd out of 400 anglers, great job Thomas.

Looks like a few fish are moving into the Vedder but 14 fish in this derby is not that great. Hopefully we will see some good pushes of fish over the next few weeks and look forward to some good fishing in January.

Sturgeon

The Fraser River looks to be in great shape, not ,many boats out on the water but we did hear that sturgeon fishing has been pretty good. With such mild weather it does not surprise me that sturgeons are still actively feeding. Just about any salmon bait would work this time of year so just be patient and wait them out.

Vancouver Saltwater Fishing

Fishing has been fair, most of the salmon are between 3 to 6 lbs, winter fishing in Vancouver Harbour can be very good but not many Chionook over 12 lbs. Crab and Prawn fishing can be excellent.
