So majority of the people fishing in the area are probably fishing for salmon, it sounds like...
After my trip to Vedder, I've realized what great salmon fishing can be done if I drive 1 - 1 1/2 hour out from Vancouver
Now I wonder, what good fishing is available without having to drive so much. Not really trying to catch huge fish, but something entertaining, and places where it's realistic to catch fish at.
I guess trouts are the next big thing??
But what else?
I don't have access to a boat, and I live in Richmond, I would like to find a place that's easy to access from home to do some fishing for fish that are NOT bullheads.. I hate catching them.
30 minutes or less from Richmond would be ideal...

How about 10 to 15 minutes within Richmond? ;)

Tidal fraser, capilano and seymour rivers.
Lafarge, Deer, Rice, Buntzen, and Como lakes.

I love fishing Sasamat Lake once the water cools down a bit....nice floating bridge to fish from and some nice rainbows and the odd cutty there.

Cap would be a good bet for close proximity. You can still catch pinks in the lower fraser fairly easily with a simple casting setup and a spoon.

Hi Rodney, I was wondering if you can tell me about the lures used to catch these fish?
Any colours/size? Thanks
-
and can i expect them by steveston if i went out tomorrow? or not quite the season yet? i think i saw somewhere that capilano is not that great now.
-
It is always worth to try it out. The season is not bounded by human calendar but environmental factors. Give it a go.

Spoons, spinners in the 1/8oz range. Size 2 or 4 hook. Colour preference is personal, give green, pink and orange a try.

rodney, idon't know if you saw my other thread, but i picked up a centerpin..
people tell me centerpins are also suitable for casting spoons, etc.
is this a suitable set up when fishing for trouts? and I have yet to cast with a cp at all, but i don't know if I'll be able to cast very far with cps?
-
Centerpin reels are mainly used for drifting in streams, not so suitable for the cast and retrieve fishery in the Tidal Fraser River. A light spincasting setup would be more suitable. Take a look at the pictures in this article on what we normally use:
