Summer is officially here, and summer salmon fishing in Vancouver is off to a hot start! Coho salmon fishing has been on fire for at least the last few weeks with good numbers of hatchery fish in the mix. In addition, pink salmon should start showing up in numbers any day now, as we are expecting a record return this year, estimated at 27 million fish! And if that weren’t enough, chinook salmon returns for the past few years have also been spectacular, and we expect the same again for this year. In short, if salmon fishing is on your to-do list, you couldn’t pick a better year to do it than this one! Summer spots book up quickly, so be sure to reserve your spot today!

While yesterday was a little cloudy and chilly for this time of year, fishing in the Vancouver area continues to be terrific this Spring, with good numbers of chinook salmon in local waters. Soon, the coho salmon will start to fill, and the chinook numbers will also grow as the main summer migrations kick in. Once again, both coho and chinook are forecast to have very strong returns this year, and we are also expecting a huge return of pink salmon as this is a dominant run year for the Fraser River - which literally means millions upon millions of pink salmon homing in on Vancouver area waters this summer. All in all, salmon season in Vancouver is in full swing, and it should be one for the books! Book your spot now!

Terrific Winter Fishing and 2025 Outlook! So far, the winter salmon fishing and weather in the Vancouver area has been terrific this season with abundant chinook salmon, clear skies and calm waters! Catches of spot prawns and dungeness crabs, a winter bonus, have also been strong. The 2025 fishing outlook from the Department of Fisheries has also just been released and we are again expecting spectacular chinook and coho salmon returns to this area as the year progresses. As if that weren’t enough, 2025 is also a peak return year for Pink Salmon, which means millions of these scrappy fish will be keeping us busy as well. In short, it’s a terrific time to book your fishing trip in the Vancouver area in 2025! Let’s go fishing!
