If you are coming down to the salmon festival, come early because it is going to be very crowded. Parking is hard to find. Forget the fishing, there will be too many other things to do. ;) But, if you really want to, there should be some chub, pikeminnow and dollies around. Garry Point Park is a good start, but that's where they are staging the start of the parade. London's Landing is another good location.

flyfishing opportunities down here are minimal, for two reasons. One is the lack of casting room in the area, two is the water clarity is not good enough for flyfishing right now. I rarely catch cutties in this part of the Fraser, the only times I have caught some are in September and October.

Received your photo by the way, expect to see it in the fishy shot contest coming up. :)
