One to the beach out of about 16 hours for me. Two sockeye released as well. She needs to clean up more before it gets good.

Ah I see- that's a problem I don't experience much in the upper river.

Waiting on my new Abu 7001i before I can get out......hopefully not too much longer. Been satisyfing myself with Pinks at the moment.

Anyone looking for Bar fishing company in the next few weeks? I swear I'm good at conversation   :D

Zero for 3 for me up Gill area . Pretty quiet besides the laughter and people having good conversation , throw in a few wobbly pops and it gets even louder  ;D . I tried all sorts of spin and glow colors to no avail . The only one I didn't try was Bent Rods Cascade blades #6  anchored out . Next time ;) .

In the Tidal Fraser I rarely bring out my roe before October. This time of the year the likelihood of catching a chinook salmon is pretty slim down here. The river is too wide and muddy. There are too many unwanted species pecking on roe. I save my roe for coho salmon when retention opens in early October. By then, water is already cold enough to keep the other species inactive, so the only species that would bite are coho salmon, bull trout, cutthroat trout and possibly chum salmon.

All of my fish have came on the cascade blades, I rig it up with a glob of roe though. They out fished my friends using spin n glo's last year to. Easy to fish from shore as well, don't need to use em out the back of the boat.

Hey Trot,

Where do you usually head on the upper river?
