Big River Need Help!!........please
« on: September 12, 2005, 07:47:19 PM »

Glad to hear people have been having some good outings lately on this pink run,  :D even some first timers , thats great.I wish i could say the same for myself and my wife :'(, went out and bought her an UGLY STICK and gave it to her along with the promise of many a landed fish , but so-far no luck.
  We've been going to edgewater bar at derby reach and although we've seen lots of fish it seems they're just out of reach, or just not interested ???  We've been at high tide , low tide , and everything in between but nothing to date. I figure we either need to try somewhere else or I need to track down Rod and get one of those magic lures :)
  I like Fort Langley cause it's close to home (I'm in White Rock) and usually quiet(maybe because nobody catches anything) but at this point I'm willing to drive anywhere, even at 1.16 a liter :-\
  We're going out tomorrow thinkin bout Glen valley park, does anybody fish there??

  Anyhow looking for some advice. Rod's been getting them in Richmond and I've heard of lots being caught upriver , looking for somewhere in between if possible.
 
  Even though we didn't get anything today, as we pulled into the parking lot another fisherman was packing up with a 15 - 20 lb Chinook in his bag :o  Said it was a fluke, snagged it in the mouth with his lure.Nice fish!!

If your fishing out in the Ft.Langley area go to Duncan bar which is the best of all the bars on that side. Just follow river road east and go past Bradner road and it goes to a dead end along the river. Thats Duncan bar.
