May Long Weekend is almost here 🎣
If you’ve been thinking about refining your current stillwater gear or are building your first lake setup, now’s the time.
We just dropped a new video breaking down Jason’s favourite all-around stillwater setup: the versatile 10’ 5-weight. This rod setup shines for indicator fishing, sinking lines, chironomids, leeches, blobs, boobies, and more.
Check out the full video now on our YouTube channel (link in bio) and see why this is the setup he reaches for most often on BC lakes.
Questions? Visit us in shop or online and let us help you get dialed in before your next lake excursion 👊
It’s been a big fish kinda spring after a mild winter. Here is @jasonrtonelli with a prime example from a recent trip that weighed in at 10.5 pounds! 🐷
Like Sheryl says, get out there and soak up that sun because the chrons are poppin and the bobbers are droppin 🏮👇

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our Spring Super Sale last weekend - whether you stopped by the shop or shopped online, we really appreciate the support! 🙌🎣
As we head into the middle of May there’s still time to chase late-season steelhead on the Vedder and local lake fishing is productive, with stocked trout fisheries continuing to fish well around the Lower Mainland.
If you’re thinking a little further afield for lake fishing we’ll be back next week with an Interior lakes update. Out on the salt anglers are seeing solid bottom fishing paired with good crabbing and prawning.
Check out this week’s full fishing report for all the details — at pacificangler.ca - linked in bio! 🌊🐟

🎣 What’s New Wednesday 🎣
Our custom Pacific Angler Mooching Rods are officially back in stock and we just loaded the reel cabinet with Islander TR3s in clear/blue - just in time for salmon season.
Built for the way we fish on the West Coast, these rods are on all of our guide boats thanks to their balance, durability, and smooth action when fighting big fish. Paired up with the new Islander TR3 mooching reels in the clear/blue finish, this is one seriously sharp setup heading into the saltwater season.
These are THE rods + reels our guides use, trust, and fish every day on the water. If you’re gearing up for salmon season, now’s the time to check them out.
Available in-store and online now. 🎣🌊
