FN opening yesterday and today (7am-7pm) for sockeye and chinook.  This happens pretty well each weekend which probably accounts for your lack of action.

3 of us put in about 6 hours with the same results but it was a lovely afternoon to be out fishing. Found a few agates and a 10 ounce pyramid bar weight. The tube steaks were good too. ;D

When we launched at 2:30 the creel surveyor at Island 22 she she had recorded no chinook at that time, not sure when her shift started.

Better bar fishing just around the corner. ;D ;D

Keep all the lead you can find.
We stopped in Kent Outdoors yesterday, and they were selling 16 ounce bar weights for over 7 bucks a piece. They were 2 bucks last summer.

Is there a website link that shows FN openings?
I might go barfishing on the fraser next weekend but i don't want to waste time and gas if thier nets are out scooping all the fish up....

My old neighbor used to rig up that way... He tried to explain the rig to me but i couldn't fully understand... So how do you go about rigging up a railway spike and wear do you get them?

Socks are closed now, so that wouldn't work. Maybe a NPM would be better?
