Well, the spring fishing in local waters is a far cry from the action seen last year at this time. And don't even get me started about the seemingly non existant coho situation. From what i am hearing, the capilano area is still the mainstay with springs being taken around 90 feet in about 120 feet of water. Anchovie or whole medium herring in the appropriate sized teaser head, colors in glow, charteusse and glo green are popular. Many guys are running with either no flasher at all or running one on a dummy lead from the cannon ball. Gotta think with all our rivers are gin clear and low right now and have been for some time. Even the fraser was running clearer than i've ever seen it, and I'm thinkin this will also effectthe clarity of the saltchuck locally, so try running with minimal flashers. Spoons are taking a few fish and the coyote 4.0 in the green glo types as well as army truck glo have been mentioned.
Contrary to what you may be hearing from another popular telephone report line, there has been very little success around the Pt. Roberts/ Coal Port and Tsawassen ferry terminal area. We usually see schools of coho rounding the tip at Pt. Roberts right now and from the boys down there I've been hearing of nothing. Also the schools of springs which normal cruise the coal port area and up through the T-10 have been elusive for all but a handful of die hards who fish there regularly.
So, going into the weekend... fish the flood tides, 2hrs before/2hrs after, and you might get lucky at low slack but it's iffy. Ambleside/capilano is a good bet as are the Pt. Grey bell buoy and the T-10 marker off sandheads.
well, tite lines and happy turkey weekend feasting to all
