Fish were coming through fairly consistently if not really thick in Abbotsford this morning. They are very clean and fresh though. The four below were caught on spoons and flies.

fished delta 2-4, 4 landed, so many on that i lost count, it got to the point that i would get one on, and hand the rod off to someone that had been there all day and couldnt get one on.. It was good times, glad to see they are still coming thru very plentiful, landed my 4th fish on my band new abu garcia c4 reel, man, that thing is like a caddillac of reels..

I was having a good day until some lowlife couple decided to stop their car and throw their 2 bags of household garbage into the river.  It was surreal.  Once I realized what just happened (it took a while to sink in), I climbed up the ripraps to see what kind of "humans" in the lowest form would do such a thing and gave the "man" the eye and raise my arms as if to say WTF was that as he made a U-turn in his beige Lexas sedan.  That might be the norm in other countries where they're from, but not here.  Didn't have a camera at the time but would have put up the pic of their car if I did.  Enough of that.  Here are some pics of fish from last few days to help me chill after that.

Was at #5 and Dyke road in richmond from about 4-730 and got nothing, saw 2 maybe 3 risers but that it.

Gotta get out to Abby next weekend, getting killed in Richmond and wanna make sure my girl gets at least one this year.

Did go to Walmart after to pick up some things and stumbled across those mega watts that one guy swears by, grabbed a handful  ;D

So when does this run end? I know in 2009 it seemed to die out around Sept. 25 or so, but this year started a little later than 2009 too. Are we still going to be in fish for a couple of more weeks or is this it? Thoughts?

How can we know for sure? Probably when you realize there are not many pinks coming in.....then the run in the lower fraser will be over

May be there is some truth in Berry's Bait Fish Report saying the pinks are about 10 days late. They also claimed 30 to 45 million + pinks, so they could be just exaggerating.
