Hi,
Anyone tried fish the Richmond area for chub or minnow?

Thanks

I did some bar fishing in the Richmond area today, didnt catch anything, but watched a heron catch alot of small minnows about 5 feet from the shore. Also while fishing I heard a few bigger fish surfacing, but didnt look in time to see what they were, one sounded like a dog jumping in the water, I had my back turned at the time, when I turned back around there were some pretty big ripples about 10 feet from shore, not sure what it was but it sounded big.

I've been debating with myself whether I should spin for a couple of hours today or not, and you're just making things harder for me. You were fishing at North Arm during low tide aren't you? Those minnows the heron is feeding on are most likely salmon fry. I bet the big splashes are from the big bull trout...

Back to the chub question. There should be a few around now, but usually it is fairly slow in April. The fishing picks up around late May usually. Go for the bull trout though, a lot of fun to catch. Catch and release only though.

BwiBwi, if you need info on bull trout fishing, go to this page:

How's the water clarity Lucky?

water clarity looks pretty good about a foot or so.  I too was wishing I had brought my spinning outfit, left it at home , all the fish I saw surface were very close in, about 5 to 20 feet from shore
