A nice vedder fish

Capilano-

The baitban is now lifted. A few Coho should be scattered throughout the system now  in very small numbers. These coho are typicaly smaller than your average fall coho and can be targeted with roe, beads or blades. The Capilano does recieve a small run of Steelhead that run between December and March.  These Steelhead can be targeted using roe, beads, jigs and blades.  It is best to downsize your presentation as the water is typcially low and clear.

Fraser River-

Good cutthroat fishing can be had through the Spring Months, focus on backwater or river/creek mouths. Spinner/Spoons or fry immatiations are usually a goood bet this time of Year. Dollie Varden fishing can be good this time of the year. Bar fishing with roe or worms can produce on a incoming tide. If the 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 and can be caught with worms or roe. Sturgeon fishing is starting to proudce with many postive reports coming into the shop. Eulichons have been working good to target these fish this time of Year.

As of May 1'st until May 31'st the river is open to fly fishing only from the Vedder Crossing bridge downstream to the hwy # 1 bridge. the water's above the Crossing is closed to all fishing. Steelhead fishing can be good in May water conditions permitting.
