ADAPTING TO VARYING SEASONS

We have a variety of rivers to fish, the Squamish River is built for swung fly fishing, with long expansive runs and beautiful hold water for fish. In the early Spring season our fishing focus is on the lower Squamish River, fishing sections only a few kilometres from open ocean. Steelhead here are chrome bright, often with sea lice on them and they crush flies. As we move later in our Spring season our focus is on fly fishing for steelhead on the upper Squamish River, a rugged wilderness valley where we’ve called home for the past 20+ years. This is wild country, we often see mountain goats on the high cliffs, elk in the valley and even grizzly bears roaming the back channels.

Summer season is spent trout fishing smaller tributaries including the Cheakamus, Ashlu & Mamquam rivers. These are home to resident rainbow and bull trout. On odd years there are Pink Salmon on the lower Squamish, this is a great action-packed fishery! Our Fall season has us on the lower and upper Squamish River as well as the Cheakamus, chasing Pacific salmon on the fly.

TROUT FISHING IS YEAR-ROUND

Trout fishing in Squamish is a year-round event, with a variety of different trout species in local rivers. Bull trout are the most prevalent species and average in size from 12-24 inches. These are native trout that can be caught year-round. Winter is a popular time for bull trout fishing as they feed on the remnants of the Fall salmon runs. Bulls and rainbow trout can be caught in the Spring and Summer months as well. One of our favourite bull trout flies is the Mister March.

FLIES & GEAR FOR FISHING SQUAMISH

If you’re coming on a guided day with us you’re welcome to bring your own gear or we can provide top notch wading gear and fly fishing equipment for a rental charge of $59. If you’re planning on fishing on your own then a 2 handed spey rod in a 7-8 weight is a great rod. Single handed rods we fish are in the 6-8 weight range, good for throwing heavier flies. A variety of sink tips is critical, Type III & VI are our go to tips and MOW tips fish nice as well. Fly choice isn’t as important as how you fish it on the Squamish, but if you were to have one fly, that catches everything, then the Hobo Spey is tough to beat.
