Happy New Year: Salmon Fishing in Vancouver! Captain Eddie was out on the Salty Dawg for a local 5 hour trip today with his guests.

December Report and Jan 2011 Outlook
Merry Christmas and Best of the Season from all of us at Pacific Angler! December fishing in the Vancouver area has been slow to get going and overall the fishing has been lack lustre. There have been a few bright spots and in between those bright spots, we haven’t been on the water a whole lot…
December 2010: Outlook
As November draws to a close, it’s time to start looking ahead..and I’ll have to admit…I’m already excited at the upcoming prospects! December is typically the month when winter spring fishing really picks up–particularly the second half of the month into the holiday season! If the past is any indication of the future, we’re in for some fairly…
November 20: Snowcapped Peaks!
It’s time! You know it’s time to go salmon fishing when….there’s SNOW on the mountains! So I headed down to the boat, extra hot latte in hand, hosed the snow off and decided…calm water…so why the heck not…let’s go for a cruise. The sun was peeking in and out of the clouds and the North Shore mountains gleamed white with last…
November 2010: Checking in…
Hi there folks! 🙂 It’s November and Winter Spring fishing is now the focus of our Saltwater efforts. It was a nice sunny day out there with no wind and overall a pretty pleasant experience! After giving the boat a nice scrub I decided I’d head out and wet some lines not too far from…
October 2010 Wrap Up

October 2010: Smiles and Chinook!
October is always a bitter sweet month for us guides…we know that our guiding days are numbered for mature returning fish. However, the BEST part is that at this time we’re just about the LAST location on the BC coast enjoying the terminal Chinook fishery! Right here, 5 minutes from downtown Vancouver! Over the years I’ve fished…
Sept 2010:Sockeye Continued and Chinook!
Well…hot on the heels of August, the Sockeye bite rolled right on through to about September 10. While it wasn’t quite as fast and furious as it was in August, as we got further into September the millions of Sockeye continued to hold but several weather and pressure changes and the long staging time of these fish frequently…

July 16th 2010
Eddie was out today and smacked them pretty good! He was on a 5 hour charter and put 3 coho and 2 springs into the box. They lost some coho and lost a nice spring that was taking some good line on a double header with a coho. He was fishing off W. Van for…
