I note a few posters above are planning to do some cleanup of the areas they are fishing. If you need garbage bags you can pick them up at The Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve parking lot starting around 8:30.
Also there will be some one to help unload your garbage in the dumpster that is located by the caretakers residence at the GBHNR up to around 12:30.

Thanks guys for helping out.

No need to be sorry birdman, the point of my previous post was to remind people that we all have to start somewhere. Those who are more experienced should be bridging the gap between the newcomers and them, otherwise who will be passing on the fishing knowledge?

Thanks for all in advance for cleaning up this weekend. :)

Sunday is Rivers day, it's a day for all to celebrate the existance of our rivers.

Everyday should be a celebration of the existance of our rivers.

Keeping the rivers clean doesn't just benefit the fish and fishing. It improves the health of those who live in the watershed, those who use the water for drinking and other purposes. It boosts the economy of communities such as Chilliwack.

Like Chris said, you can also drop by the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve to get garbage bags. We want people to sign up so we can have an accurate head count of Sunday's participation. The fishing will probably be slow after 8am anyways, so it would be a good time killer before the evening bites come on again.

Big Steel

           Observed the gong show at Kieth Wilson bridge and my conclusion was that theres not a fisherman in the bunch. All I saw was a lot of long line dredging, and a lot of miss handled fish. I cannot imagine any experienced angler fishing in those conditions. I drove the upper Chilliwack today and observed the long line snagging going on at the Tamihi rapids and just below the cement slab at  the limits hole. To the guys with the sunglasses perched on the rocks waitng for fish to move through their area I hope your all busted.

Buck Buck Buck.  Don't get me started on that again.  I said my piece.  I am done with it.  I will fish my semi-secluded runs and if anyone comes along that fishes that way then I will choose what to do at that time.   I am not going to go to the meat holes and let myself get ticked off.  I know that it is happening all over the river, and every time I see it, if I can get reception, I will call dfo.  Whether they will do anything about it who knows!!!!! :-\

Who am I to tell people that my way is the correct way, when people are simply doing what the regulations allow them to do?


There is the issue. The only true solution is to lobby to change the regulations.
