Non-tidal Fraser River, August 23rd 2010
« on: August 24, 2010, 09:38:09 AM »

Four of us went out yesterday. Got to the bar just before 9am.  We were done by 11. Had coffee, cleaned up some garbage on the bar and left about noon. Two had the orange tinge of the Adams run, the other six were chrome. By the time we left, the bar was almost devoid of people.

Were you able to land it from where you were fishing on the rocks?
It doesn't look like a very promising area to land a spring ( no beach to folow it downstream).
Congrats on a nice fish.
