Fished New Westminster area around noon. There are just too many pinks coming up with the tide. The runs are in full force and most of us fishing with the rising tide have limit catches. Some good rods are helping others to limit too. It was non stop actions. This is the time for productive fishing. Tight line.

 Thanks for the report. Will be out tomorrow with the fly rod( a loaner). I hope my new rod comes in soon.

Most of the fish are travelling very close to shore. In fact, the hits happened mostly close to shore, within 30 feet. The fly should be awesome in shallower water. Good luck.

I noticed the same thing over the weekend, schools were in knee deep water... With only a foot of clarity, they have a nice feeling of safety, and therefore they have no need to be deeper.

This weekend is gonna be good up in chwk, I hope...

Cheers,
Nicole

I guess I was a little late. I fished the north side in New West from 2-5pm and only managed 2 hookups. Proceeded to lose them both. Last one was right to shore. I only say 2 pinks jump along with about 5 or sturgies. I was expecting things to be a lot better.
I'm still looking for my 1st tidal Fraser pink. Will try again on the weekend.

Thanks for the report. Were you on the North or south side of the Fraser, Putullo.

Hi Steelhawk,

Thanks for the report!

I've just started seriouslyu fishing again, and wondering if you can help me with where I may be able to fish in the New West area (I live near New West in the Edmonds area of Burnaby).

Last weekend, I caught this doe pink in Steveston.  I don't mind the drive, but if I can catch one or two pinks close to home, why not?


Do I need heavy gear to fish the pinks in the Fraser? 

Thank you for your advice.

Cheers,

Joe

Yeah i was wondering the same.. Where in New West were you fishing from?

So far i've had terrible luck with tidal fishing can't wait to break my bad streak with an odd year pink!

Potullo Bridge area. Doesn't matter really. The fish found there have to go through any section of the Fraser River during the incoming tide. You just have to time it correctly to intercept the schools.

Thanks .. Yeah i think the main reason why my streak has been so bad is that i've been trying on the cap.. woke up at 4 am couple weeks ago to fish the cap and saw couple jumpers and a fish caught by the FN side.

I'm looking at a google map, which doesn't go into much detail, but all I can see is some areas off of East Columbia Street (probably below the skytrain station, Capilano Way (does it have river access) of course the walk along the Quay (Ive never seen anyone catch anything there), and there are some places on the opposite side, across the Patullo, Dyke Road, Faulkner Road and Old Yale Road (but do these have river access?).

Because we live in a city environment, their is so much more private property concerns here than in rural area; I'm worried about is whether or not these areas are accessible to the public.  I don't want to be trespassing in places where I'm not supposed to go.

Thanks,

Joe

Ed,  what does "FN" mean?

Thanks,

Joe

Do we need heavy gear to fish the Fraser for these pinks?

Or will 1/4 oz zzingers do?

thanks for your advice
