I checked the south arm at Garry Point and south end of #3rd yesterday AM & PM and again today at 7:00 AM.    No sign of pinks.   A few fishermen watching and waiting.

Lots of optimists around Richmond. ;D It's too quite early to see the big masses of pink salmon moving into the Fraser River.

Something should happen this weekend as we get another big flood tide in the late afternoon.

I'm just hoping to see some small masses already, 2 years ago I had already hooked one by the 25th!

Anywhere along the main channels of the Fraser River will produce pink salmon, or any migratory salmon actually. While any spot can produce fish, each one has a different timing on when fish would be passing by and biting. Your best approach would be to focus on the last two hours of the incoming tide, when salmon usually travel past the area. Each spot along the Fraser River has a different tide delay from the Vancouver tide chart, so it'd take a few times to get the timing right.

Good to hear.

If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose Kaolinite for a handle?

that is a good site, but I also like the site below because it has a lot of lower mainland stations and it is government run

Ive been catching pinks on the fly at peg leg for a week now.I find they hold in slow water and are on thew move in fast water and tend not to be biting so fish the slack water and get your lure right in their face good fight on the fly rod.The pink this year have been quite small this year though 2-4 pounds are their jack pinks?
