 So whats the best time of the year to fish? Every season has its own perks. Fall fishing however could easily be categorized as the most unique as well as the most productive. Possibly the most beautiful as well. So of course the obvious questions come to mind. Why is it so productive? Why is it so unique? Why is it so beautiful? Let's go over it in a bit more detail.
Fall truly is a highly productive time to fish. Salmon enter the rivers and provide great sport to the keen angler. One of our favourite sport fish is the Coho Salmon. They come in bright and silver and they tend to stay that way longer than other Salmon species. They also fight great on average and provide us with that adrenaline rush we enjoy so much. As fresh Coho enter the river, the Chinook Salmon is typically already spawning. Although we don't tend to target them, their spawning draws the attention of eager trout. Salmon eggs provide probably the best food source available for trout all season. Trout become super eager and willing to take advantage of this highly abundant food source. This can be some of the best trout fishing all year! The uniqueness is simply a matter of the species available. In a day of fishing you could hook multiple species of Salmon as well as several species of trout. Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon, Cutthroat, Sea Run Cutthroat, resident Rainbow, lake run Rainbow, and Brown Trout are all present. This is the only time of year that has this many sport fish available in the river. Last but equally as important as the rest is the beauty. The leaves are changing colour and a once green landscape turns to different shades of oranges, reds, and yellows. This is by far the most beautiful time of year to take a drift down a beautiful trout or salmon river! I'm only taking prime dates this fall. They will be limited but worth booking. As long as conditions are good you can have one of your most enjoyable days on the water ever! I've also made some changes to my rates. I'm offering and advertising rates with or without lunches. For the Cowichan River a 2 person float with lunch is $550 all in and without lunch is $510. For a single angler the prices are $425 and $400. Iv'e done this basically because the price of providing these lunches is getting higher with inflation. Enough so that offering a rate without them allows me to give a fairly good discount to guests. And I'll only provide lunch if the lunch I'm providing is of high quality. I'm also offering floats on the San Juan. This is a Coho Salmon and Sea Run Cutthroat river. It's a beautiful wilderness float and worth experiencing. It comes at a higher price. Given its distance to get to and the higher fuel prices it's $600 without lunch and there is no single angler rate available. I will be however offering both fly fishing and conventional tackle on this river. Something I only offer with this and Winter Steelhead. If your'e interested in booking a prime fall date don't hesitate to email me at [email protected] As stated previously these dates will be somewhat limited but I want to get as many of my great guests on the water as possible. As well as any new anglers who would be willing to trust me with their day! I hope your'e all having a great summer and I hope to see you on the water this fall!
