Vancouver Saltwater Salmon Fishing Report
It’s mid-November and as usual it has been pretty windy and rainy. It has kept us of the salt a few times but on the days we have been out, we are happy to report the winter chinook fishing has been good. Luckily our boats have heaters on board, so even on the cooler days we say stay nice and warm.
The winter chinook season is off to a solid start!
From our recent fishing efforts and from those of our fellow guides, it does look like we are in for another solid winter chinook season. Right now, we are seeing lots of hatchery fish and these are mostly “red springs” that would be from the US hatcheries. As usual, we are seeing lots of bait, mostly herring and some anchovies. So, all the ingredients are here for a productive winter season going forward.
Now is a great time to book a trip if you don’t have your own boat or if you have put your boat to bed for the winter. November consistently produces some of the largest winter chinook of the year and the prawning is also quite good. There is no better way to beat the November blues than some fresh air, feisty winter chinook, and a bounty of BC spot prawns!

See you in the shop and on the water,
