You can see it by the Fraser River water level at Whonnock. The Fraser is up 1m from a month ago and this pushes back into the Stave resulting in much higher water and lower flow than normal.
Last Sunday at first light the west side area where I launched my boat had only 3 guys on shore. By 10am there was more than 60. Everyone looked to be fishing ethically and I only heard one loud argument (I think someone casted over another guys fish).

Not worth fishing IMO, majority of the fish are in spawning mode. Very few chrome ones.

Yes.
It will be.
You will catch lots shorting jigs.
There are the occasional bright chum and coho around. 
95% will be coloured and darkish, spawning chum, ~5-10% have now turning mouldy and into zombies
Keep it short and don't bb with long leader and you will stay in relatively fresh fish and have a lot of fun.
