Capilano-

The baitban is now lifted. Coho fishing won't start up again until April. The Capilano does recieve a small run of Steelhead that run between December and March

Fraser River-

good cutthroat fishing can be had through the winter months in the upper Fraser backwaters between Hope and Chilliwack. Dollie Varden fishing can be good this time of the year. bar fishing with single eggs, boraxed or salted roe and dew worms can be effective. if tehe clarity is good casting spoons and spinners is also a good bet. Coarse fish such as pike Minnow, White fish and Bullhead are in the river year round. Sturgeon fishing typically slows down in the Winter as water tempatures drop and the fish become dormant.

Vedder/Chilliwack-

Steelhead fishing has been fair to good for the past week. Good numbers of both hatchery and wild fish have been reported throughout the river system. Bait such as prawns, boraxed or Pautzke dyed roe and Roe sacs are all good bait choices. Artificals such as rubber worms in various sizes and colours, single Jensen or mad river eggs, soft beads, trout beads and blades are all good bets!

Chehalis-

Steelhead fishing has been favourable. this system fishes best during a high water drop.

Interior lakes-

Ice fishing has been good in the Merritt and kamloops areas.
