November fishingNovember is a transition month for fishing around BC, as temperatures cool and winter encroaches. The best opportunities you’ll find this time of year are generally on the southern coast of BC, targeting migrating salmon and trout on coastal rivers. There’s also some good sturgeon fishing to be had. Most of BC’s steelhead fishing operations are wrapping up for the season by early November. November offers very limited saltwater salmon fishing opportunities, with most charter companies winding down in mid October. Here’s a rundown of the October fishing opportunities you’ll find in BC…

This would be your best option, stick close to home and fish in and around Vancouver. The first two weeks of November can be prime time for our Fall Salmon Fishing Trips on local rivers within easy driving distance of Vancouver. The majority of the fish are in these systems by November and river conditions have usually settled with cooling temps. As for saltwater salmon fishing it is really hit or miss in November, some smaller Chinook Salmon in local Vancouver waters but November is usually our slowest month for saltwater salmon fishing.
