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!

Following an outrageously unbelievable salmon season this summer and fall, we are now looking forward to another great winter chinook salmon season! While winter, or “feeder” chinook are smaller than their migratory cousins, some consider these chrome-bright, silver bullets to be the best eating fish of the year! In addition, setting traps for delicious spot prawns and dungeness crab is a little added bonus on the winter trips only. So, bundle up and let’s go fishing!
