Our Winter salmon fishery is always a great indicator of the Spring and Summer fishery and over the next few months will tell us what we can expect for the 2012 season. As our Winter Chinook salmon runs slow in mid March, our first Spring run of King/Chinook start arrive in large numbers to provide excitement and thrills. Our Spring run of Chinook salmon are abundant until mid June. May through September sees us targeting Chinook, Coho, Sockeye and Pink salmon returning to the many rivers we have in the Vancouver area. In September the Capilano, Chilliwack and Harrison River runs of King salmon hold in the Vancouver area for a month or more.
