bcubed Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 BC just closed most of the stream angling on the Island.. wish our government had the balls to do it. I'd paste the link but for some reason I can't do links on a PC? Quote

monger Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 What is your latest temp reading Lornce? Fish last night still pulling well. Water feeling pretty warm though Quote
jgib01 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Heading to Sooke next week. Guess I'll leave the rod at home... Like I woulda had time to fish anyway at a Scout Jamboree . Afternoon water temps on the Crow last weekend were between 15 and 18. Can only imagine they're higher now. Quote
trailhead Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I was on the Crow yesterday and after the torrential downpour the water temperature was 10. Quote
trailhead Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Oh by the way there is a nice post in the BC reports about fishing on the island. Quote

My daughter is with Woodcreek Scouts 401 and will be attending. Good on ya for taking this on! 1 Quote
jpinkster Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 What's critical temp for most trout in those smaller streams? I know 55-65 is prime feeding temperatures. Quote
darrinhurst Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 All this talk about water temperatures, makes me want to pick up thermometer before my next trip out. What do you guys recommend for a good stream thermometer? Do the infrared ones work? Sorry for the hijack. Quote

Darren, the Fishpond fishing thermometers are perfect, infra-red will only read the surface temp http://fishpondusa.com/product/detail/swift-current-thermometer/1992 1 Quote

Fish Tales carries Fishpond, I'm sure that I can pick one up there. Thanks Jay! Quote
BurningChrome Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah, the Fishpond one is nice because the metal casing makes it sink as well as protects it from breaking. Get a length of paracord or something to loop through it so you don't lose it in the current. 1 Quote
