Once again it's that time of year to bring out the "Ugly Sticks", dust off that old lawn chair and find a nice peaceful spot on the Fraser to chuck the gear out, sit back, relax and wait for something to happen!! Although I'm sure everyone has their personal favorite spots to bar fish for Springs, I'm just wondering who thinks which bars are best. I've had a fair amount of success at Grassy, Island 22 and Mountain Bar, but those are pretty much the only ones I've fished.
I'm also interested in hearing what the rest of you guys and gals, prefer in terms of rig-ups. My fishing partner likes to throw on all kinds of different coloured spin-n-glows, while I prefer to stick to my "tried and true" green & silver number! He also likes to use heavier lead, while I prefer as light as possible, but still being able to "stick" it where I want it.
I'm just interested in hearing what everyones thoughts are.
Good Luck and if you happen to see "The Barflly" at a fishy spot near you.... spot by and say hi!!

Never fished the Fraser but up here in the Kitimat,the white and pink spots(clown)spin'n'glow works everytime!

Myself, I like to use the large cheeter's instead of the glo's. chartruse with lime green spots and flash wings.

The best glow size at the start of the season is a 0. The only colour we use is a silver with a red or green top with mylar wings.

The only one you need in your tackle box.

Can anyone teach a new dog some old tricks?

New to trying bar fishing on the Fraser.  No access to a boat.

Which bars are best and foot accessible?

Merci beaucoup.....

Sorry for the hijack but what are mylar wings?

[Eagleye]

The wings with the reflective coating not the floppy white ones.

[Big Steel]

Cool, I have some of those already!!  Now I just have to figure out where to go and how to catch something!!

[drift]

Thought so,thanks eagle eye!

When the water is brown or colored you might want to try a large  Black Spin n glo.

Although I have never bar fished.  I have heard that the chrome w/red top or green top are best.  When you think about it the fish are coming up behind it, they probably cant see what color the top is and are probably more attracted to the chrome flash and vibrations of the spin n glow.  So Im thinking that the chrome body of the lure is more crucial.  As well as where your lure is in the water, if your rig is not in a fish lane, you may not get as many hits.

Has anyone fished scents on their spin n glows, maybe like the smelly jelly paste?  The paste stays on well and could add a little spice to your offering.
