Attention Steelheaders... Be sure to drop in and get registered in advance for the Wally Hall Jr. Memorial Steelhead Derby (runs Dec 1 - Mar 15). If you are planning on participating in the Wall Hall derby you'll need to get your number a day in advance of weighing a fish in. Out-of-towners can phone in with a credit card.

Yesterday we had 7 fish brought in, and today were at 14 fish! There is almost 3 feet of vis, with a steelhead green colour, and the levels keep slowly dropping. Roe, roe sacks or prawns are a good bet, as are pink/white jigs. Talked to a fly fisherman who caught a nice wild on a glo-bug. Glo-bug's, Troutbeads, egg sucking leaches, are all good options. Be sure to check out our Facebook page for pics and up to date derby info. Anglers who have weighed in fish have been using an assortment of baits and lures. Making roe, orange and pink jigs, gooey-bobs, light pink worms, wool, and chartreuse or red dyed prawns, all being great options. For flies, go with egg sucking leeches, glo-bugs, prawn patterns, and black/blue intruders - we have a great selection of steelhead flies.
Please check the DFO Pacific Fishery Notices or Region 2 Summary Page regularly for changes to retention opportunities. Be sure to "Like" our Fred's Custom Tackle Facebook page.Fred's Custom Tackle www.fredscustomtackle.com |

Not a lot to report for local lakes at this point.Might be worth checking out some of the lakes in the Sasquatch Park area however most of the Provincial day use and campgrounds are closed so access may be a challenge.
Cultus Lake is one under appreciated option though. If you're looking for something to do there are rainbow, cutthroat, suckers and pike minnows.
