Vancouver Saltwater Salmon Fishing Report
We’ve had a rainy start to July but there are many more sunny days on the boat to come! Coho fishing has remained steady with only a handful of slower days for the PA Guide Team, who are dialed in to our local fisheries.
The fish don’t mind the rain!
We have been doing well off of South Bowen as expected for this time of year, with fish being found all along from Point Cowan to Roger Curtis.
The fish have been shallow for the most part, and we have been seeing a majority of the fish in the top 30′-40′ of the water column. The harbour still hasn’t been the most consistent for coho yet, but the recent rain may have got some Capilano fish moving. It’ll be any day now we see some solid action along West Vancouver and the Capilano Mouth. Crabbing continues to be productive so don’t forget to get your traps ready if you’re heading out this weekend.
UV Flashers and Hoochies- a great pairing resulting in a great day!
July is typically the time of year you start to see a noticeable difference in the size of the coho. Looking at last year’s reports around this time, some BIG fish were around, so double check your knots and keep those hooks sharp!
The coho have been feeding and we’re starting to see some big fish around!
If you’re looking to get out on the water now the time is now to book a trip! Give us a call on our charter line (778.788.8582) or email bookings@pacificangler.ca to lock in a date for some great coho action. For those of you with your own boat, if you haven’t been out there yet, we highly recommend it. Not sure where to start? Have a watch of our newly released coho tactics video where we cover our favourite rod and reel setups, tackle choices and share all our coho trolling tips and tactics.
Don’t forget that our first chinook opening is almost here as well. July 15th marks opening day across the strait so now is the perfect time to ensure you are stocked up and ready to go.
