No biggy I heard pinks don't keep so well in the freezer anyway. I'm also to lazy to can any.

Thanks

I find the pinks are great! An awsome fishery in the lower fraser tossing spoons and the fly. Im out 3-4 times a week when there running. When fresh they are great on the BBQ and are an awsome fish to smoke.

Be selective on your flies. The adage anything pink, is a myth. The best I have found is the Happy Hooker or the pattern that Randy at Hatch Match'r ties. I am sure there are others but I would not waste my time on any pattern that has not been proven by reliable sources. Believe it or not Pinks can be frustratingly picky.

I like an epoxy body with a pink underneath and a pink rabbit fur tail, they're little teeth tear up normal flies. If they do get picky just change up.

Upper Fraser, the water is fast so they all stack up along the shore. Canal of the vedder, just fish away from the crowds.
