17 Jan Vancouver Fishing Report January 2019
Well 2019 is off to a good start, we’ve had seriously good fishing this Winter in the Vancouver area. We’ve also had milder temperatures than the past two Winters, which kind of nice, allowing us the opportunity to get out on the water more.
Vancouver Fly Fishing Report January 2019
After a slower Fall salmon season we were curious to know how our Winter season was going to go. Our local trout populations depend heavily on the remnants of the Fall salmon runs, feed on eggs and flesh through the Winter months. Even with the lower than average return of salmon this past Fall the trout are still on the feed.
So far we’ve had good trout fishing on all our trips. Mainly swinging egg flies and variety of beads which imitate eggs. With less snow this Winter than in years past, we also have a bit better access to our local rivers and our Winter fly fishing trips have all be going smoothly.
We are offering our annual Winter Fly Fishing Special, running from December 1st to March 1st, so you can save a few bucks booking a trip with us this time of year. We have open availability in January and February for our Vancouver fly fishing trips but March and April are already booking up quickly. Have a look at our Vancouver fly fishing trips page for more info and if you’d like to book a trip please email the office chromersportfishing@gmail.com or call toll-free 1-877-902-3393 to book.
Vancouver Salmon Fishing Report January 2019
Pretty decent start to the 2019 Vancouver salmon fishing season. Obviously we’re not running a ton of trips this time of year, but with nice water conditions and good weather there’s been more trips than ever. Fishing has been good, we’re seeing chinook (king) salmon on all our trips, granted most are on the smaller size, but some legal fish as well.
There is loads of bait fish in local waters, this bodes well as we move into February, March and April, seemingly fish size will increase at that time.
