2022 SALMON FISHING FORECAST
LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER YEAR
During the 2021 season there was solid chinook salmon fishing in Howe Sound (accessed on full-day trips) in April and May. This year we’re are hoping for the same, with healthy populations of baitfish in local waters. Keep in mind there may be some fishing regulation changes in place, starting April 1, 2021. Please contact us for up-to-date fishing regulations and catch allowances. June & July see a mix of salmon fishing, with varying numbers of fish locally.
July through mid September is when you’ll find some nice weather conditions and a variety of Pacific salmon in the waters around Vancouver. During this time it is possible to catch chinook, coho, chum and pink salmon. Runs of fish move through at different times, there’s days when there are good numbers of salmon locally, while other days there’s more work put in to finding those bites! Overall we’re hoping for a good year of fishing and for travel restrictions to lighten so everyone can come and enjoy the salmon charters we have here in Vancouver BC.
