Just like a couple of you guys, I'd like to know where these secret Richman fishing spots are. Driving around dead end streets exploring is very time consuming and it's so hard to juggle work, home and the so precious fishing time. I'll try to check out the Richmond area this weekend.
I'm also curious about these famous lures Rod makes...I'd like to get some and try them out.

Anyways, good fishing...catfish

us guys who dont have a clue where to fish around there for the magic should get together and make a fish call...kinda like a deer caller but underwater.  That will show them!  I guess looking at a topo map of the river might help too...but nothing beats some legit directions. 
Im dying to hook up with some people to fish with around here and actually learn something about river fishing.  I've had tons of freshwater lake experience and a good deal out on the chuck (not lately though), but my river fishing is limited to a sturgeon trip we did with work (which was a blast).  Can anyone give some basic directions on how to get to the pink?  haha that sounded bad.  thanks...

I don't think any fishing spot in Richmond can be secret. There's nowhere to hide  I work on No 6 near Berries, and spend my lunch hour(s) alternating between South Arm and North Arm, depending on the wind and tides. South Arm is accessed off Dyke Rd with lots of legal parking, North Arm is supported by River Rd which comes in many pieces, and not much legal parking. Some days, the South pays off, some days, the North. It all comes down to the timing of the schools of Pinks coming through. I guess the Johnstone Pinks enter the North, and the WCVI Pinks the South, but that's only my theory. And here's another theory - if you don't want to guess which is the Arm-of-the-Day, go where they join up    Good Luck.

whoaaa...where'd u see the sturgeon? and any indication on how it died?

sorry, i have no idea how it died. it was in one piece and from what i could quickly see, no marks, but i didn't flip it over. it was belly up on the rocks around 9 am yesterday morning. it was huge.

Hopefully it didn't die from a crappy release  
Its  suprising there isn't more washing up these days . When you think of how many
peolple are fishing these giants up off the bottom compared to just 2 years ago , thats
alot of stress .

Thanks phatwop, I wouldn't want to flip it over either 

I did see a giant stugeon float past 3rd pier about a month ago. This was during the nettings and I was wondering if it was possible that it got tangled up by the nets.

On a different day I saw a beached sea lion/seal. It was must've been in the hot sun for at least a day. It was gross to say the least

YAh i never got that sturgen are nearly gone from the fraser and have been having spawning problems or something and the dfo allow fishing for them....somtimes makes me think what are they smoking

DFO has put in a sturgie hatchery, and Fraser sturgie population is stable. Plus if no CnR, DFO will need to do more work to check the sturgie population and their condition.
