Downtown Vancouver Salmon Fishing Report
December 2007 Report
Downtown Vancouver Report:
Our Winter Chinook / King fishery is well under way with some really good catches in English Bay and the West side of Bowen Island. The Bay has been best around the QB marker with depths in the 90 foot to 120 foot range for the largest fish. Some days you get a shot a keeper sized fish (over 24.5") and other days we just can't find anything over 22" - that's fishing. The key thing to remember about Winter fishing in Vancouver is that you have to find bait. If you find bait you should find the fish. Spoons in Punk Skunk, Flamin Hans, Cop Car and Green and White have worked well for us with and without flasher. We have not been running much bait but I know some guides are running herring strip in teaser heads with some very good results. The harbour seals are still very active so be prepared to lose your larger fish (that's always the case) but they can be fun to play. The weather is cold but the seas have been very kind to us so far this Winter. Bundle up and bring your coffee and spend a few hours on the water for this great fishery.
Thanks for a great season and good luck this Winter.
We now offer Winter rates so if you want to get out at a reduced price give us a call and we will set it up for you.
Good luck and tight lines.
