Capilano River Fishing Report

Capilano River is still quiet, but with the amount of rainfall we are expecting this week, don't be surprised to see the water level bumps up. If this occurs, we will see hundreds of chinook and coho salmon moving into the system. While the abundance of fish maybe higher, these fish are usually pretty hard to entice throughout September and October because of the bait ban. You cannot use natural bait or scented artificials until the end of October. Spoons and spinners give you the best chance when targeting these fish in higher water. Please remember that ALL steelhead in this system (both hatchery and wild) have to be released. Report by Rod Hsu http://fishingwithrod.com/fishing_report/lower_mainland.html

Capilano River Fishing Report

Capilano River is very quiet, don't expect to see any fresh salmon in the system right now unless we get a large amount of rainfall. There is a bait ban in effect until the end of October, and ALL steelhead (both wild and marked) have to be released. The best alternative right now is to fish the river mouth and nearby Ambleside Beach. This is usually where coho salmon stage if the river is too low to enter. Best time is usually early in the morning. To catch these coho on the beach, you need a long spinning rod setup and cast small spinners or saltwater jigs. With that said, fishing has not been very productive. Only the odd coho salmon have been hooked each day. Local guides on boats have also not been hooking into many fish nearby. If you need more information on fishing around North and West Vancouver, stop by Pacific Angler in Vancouver. Jason and his staffs fish these areas regularly and also do guided trips/seminars so they can help you out if you are just getting started.
