Lower Fraser River

Coho moving on the lower river

Bar fishing has been fair on the morning tides. Spinners in pink and silver are doing most of the work; slow the retrieve when the water clears.

Howe Sound & Burrard Inlet

Jigs and swimbaits along kelp edges are producing rockfish and the odd lingcod. Salmon effort is light — check current openings and rockfish conservation areas before you go.

Got your licence?
