[fishbuster]

Hit the river first light this morning anticipating a great day.  I had pulled some of my best chum roe from the freezer last night so I was ready.  While standing waiting for legal fishing time I saw a couple good splashes up and down stream from where I was standing.  That's a good sign.  Started off by throwing spoons but not a touch.  Switched over to the drift rod and for the next 5 hours worked a number of good runs up and down.  Caught 1 nice rainbow that I released along with a couple smaller ones.  Saw only maybe 6 other fisherman.  Saw no one catch anything.  I know if your in the right run at the right time you will get the fish.  That's fishing for you.  Maybe next time.  I have stop taking the cooler with me and then maybe I'll get a fish.

Was out today for a couple hours. Water is still really low.

A few spring jacks and some cohos caught. Gettiing better and better everytime I go out.

Fished between 2:30pm and 4:30pm. Connected with 4 fish, lost one Coho, wound up keeping a 18-20lb Spring which was in pretty good shape. All caught on roe chunks, none on roe sacks or blades(hammered Colorado).

Yup! I would have to agree with ya CohoMan.

Coho man, I was fishing that same run with you today, lucky to get 2 hatch coho's. To bad mine was wild, but I was glad to get the one. Sure was slow today though, had a few other take downs that didn't stick. I might try again tomorrow. Checked out the snaggers at the bridge before I left, drift set the hook on nothing...cast repeat. 6 ft leader and the guy on the bridge pointing to the snaggers where the fish are sitting. Awsome.

The flossers are overrunning the river, we do have to get involved.

Approach them and see if they even know that they are flossing. I've approached guys in a friendly way and then asked them "you know, you've a centerlpin  on a nice sage rod, why don't you learn to fish instead of flossing?" Most will say " I'm not flossing, I have a float on". Then give them a demo of proper technique and why it's done.

 I had the same luck with roe sacks last weekend. Had to switch to roe chunks to get some fish.
Anyone experience similar problem?

[Funeral Of Hearts]

Both roe and colorado's worked for me last weekend.

Swung fur worked for me

I tore a guy a new one last weekend on the river.

I was standing up on the bridge watching the chaos below when one of the fishermen previously below me walks by. The gentleman beside me asks to see his gear and upon inspection promptly tells him that he's doing it wrong. The rather green fisherman explains that this is how he read he was supposed to have his gear set up to get the drag free drift necessary to induce bites ie short floating. The gentleman beside me goes on to give him a lesson on how to make sure he is swinging his hook through the fish and stating thats the only way to catch fish. At this point I interrupted and informed them both that there was no need for that and that when not being snagged these fish actually bite quite well. The would be fishing instructor agrees that they probably would bite but there are far too many other snaggers in the area and offered the old mantra that "if you can't beat them you might as well join them". I politely disagreed and offered to him in the most kind and cheery way, what fishing hole to go try and what roads he might take to get there.

[searun17]

So what you are saying Sterling is you politely told him where to go,lol.

[Sterling C]

Where to go and how to get there 

[bluenoser]

Fished the river mouth between train bridge and Fraser with a friend who has a boat....lost 2 that both hit a brass #3 vibrax. Several boats fishing the same area, saw and heard of a few lost from them as well but never saw a fish landed.
 
Always amazes me how the mighty Fraser practically reverses flow and pushes back up into the Vedder at High tide....100 kms from the Ocean!
