Thrasher Rock has been fishing great this past week. The Grande and Thrasher reef have been producing some nice chinook. Anglers who are willing to take a chance and venture out off shore have been greatly rewarded with some fast paced fishing once they have located fish. We have been hitting our fish from 75ft down to 135ft on the riggers on a mixture of spoons and hootchies. Productive flashers have had some glow on them as the water has been pretty dirty. Here is your Vancouver salmon fishing report for May 30, 2015 Entrance, Snake, and Five Fingers have also been fishing well. The hot depths for us at these locations were 160-200ft on the riggers. The fish seem to be down deep…

Vancouver Salmon Fishing Report: Big Fish and Big Smiles!
Vancouver Saltwater Salmon Fishing Report Here is your Vancouver salmon fishing report for May 8, 2014. The time to go after chinook is now! I could end the report right there, but that would be pretty boring. In short though, the fishing has been red hot over on the other side of the Strait of Georgia with excellent reports from Nanaimo down to Thrasher, down to Porlier. Anglers have been fishing from 200 feet to 1500 feet offshore and getting fish as shallow as 40 and as deep as 180. So what does this all mean? It means there are a huge amount of chinook in the Strait right now and you should be booking a charter ASAP or getting out on your own boat….

Nice weather, prawns and chinook!
Eddie Matthei: After an interesting week of weather with wind and even a good a good dump of snow I finally got back on the water with some nice weather. My opportunity came in the way of a very good fishing buddy taking me out on his new ride. A brand new very nicely equipped 27′ Aluminum Kingfisher. The weather had turned from overcast and snow to sunny and quite mild overnight as we set out on our shake down cruise in the morning. After dropping the prawn traps we doubled back to start of the QB marker. We found a lot of bait and arches indicating fish but no takers. We had arrived a little late for the first low tide and trolled towards…
Another Great Day! Vancouver salmon fishing report Sept. 20, 2013
Vancouver salmon fishing report We have had multiple boats out the last few days and fishing has been fantastic! There have been chinook, coho, pinks and chums down at Sandheads, chinook and coho at the T-10 and Bell Buoy, and more chinook and coho at the mouth of the Capilano River. So if you have time for a 5 to 6 hour charter we have had consistent action only 2 minutes from our dock at the Capilano River Mouth, or if you want to make a full day of it, we can get you into some good numbers of fish at the Bell Buoy , T-10 and Sandheads which are 12, 25, and 45 minutes from the dock. Here is the Vancouver salmon fishing report…
Chinook Fishing is HOT!
The chinook fishing continues to be good to outstanding at the Bell Buoy, North Arm, T-10 and South Arm. If you have some time to get out fishing or book a charter with us, I suggest you do it now. The big chinook are here with more on the way in the next two weeks. I was out on a charter the other day, one of my favourites, the father and son charter! I love watching kids get so excited about fishing. Dad, Ben, and Tyler, had a great trip with us. It is fun as a guide when the kids keep asking Dad how much time they have left on the charter because they don’t want it to end. Even better when they start…
Vancouver Friday Salmon Fishing Report, June 29, 2012
Vancouver Saltwater Salmon Fishing Report First off, Happy Canada everyone. From the Pacific Angler Staff in the store and our saltwater guides we all hope you have a spectacular long weekend. And there is no better way to celebrate Canada’s birthday than getting on the water and hooking into a few fish. Anyways, lets talk about the fishing.

However, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear a couple of good reports either from our customers or other guides from Thrasher Rock. So if you are thinking of heading out it is definitely a viable option. Here is your Vancouver salmon fishing report for June 29, 2012. Our guides and customers…
Vancouver Salmon Fishing Report, August 2010: Sockeye of the Century!
Vancouver Saltwater Salmon Fishing Report First off… What a month! I begin with some apologies…sorry we’ve been delinquent with filing reports…we’ve all been so busy fishing and guiding that we’ve had next to NO TIME to do anything other than FISH! Here is your Vancouver salmon fishing report for August 31, 2010. The one word to sum our local fishery for the month of August is– simply AWESOME! While we were awaiting the highly anticipated Sockeye Opening on August 8, we found that the stellar Coho (Silver) fishery from July (the best we had seen in 20 years locally) was beginning to taper off. It had slowed from the fast and furious Coho action of July and we were down to a few bites each charter–and we had some great extended bites on some days but…
