Vedder River
Red Spring season is in full swing! The water has been high in the past couple of weeks but is dropping into a nice level. Using traditional float setups (25 or 30 Gram) with either cured salmon roe or artificial beads has been producing. Typically red springs run into the first week of August and then White springs show up late August to Early September. Make sure to get out there in this beautiful weather we have been having lately!

After an 2.5 month wait we are starting to get some Chinook openings in the Gulf Islands and above Gower point. Refer the Strait of Georgia Chinook Closure map to see where the openings are ! Typically you will be fishing artificial lures such as spoons and hoochies as in certain areas like Entrance Island you will be fishing deeper. Anything glow matched with a similar colored flasher will produce chinook. Our current regulations for retention will be 62-80cm clipped or unclipped for chinook and Coho have to be clipped with a minimum size of 30 cm. Coho fishing around the gulf islands has been excellent as well schools of Coho have started to show up in our local areas such as South Bowen, and even in the Vancouver harbor.
