Tidal Fraser River, October 29th & 30th 2010
« on: October 30, 2010, 10:59:27 PM »
Tidal Fraser River is still producing some jacks and even the odd adult coho salmon. The photos below are not fish caught by me, but by anglers who have been fishing next to us. We have been trying to finish up a video feature on the Tidal Fraser River coho salmon but it seems like we have used up all the luck in the first part of the season. Yesterday I was unable to produce a bite and today I was haunted by sculpins. Water clarity is not as good as previous two weeks, but still good enough for spincasting lures.

Give the guy a break.
Reading the regs will certainly not help you distinguish the different species of salmon. Their pictures and drawings are pretty bad.
However, Fishing with Rod fish profiles http://www.fishingwithrod.com/fish_profile/index.html can help figure this out.
