Way to just ruin my positive thinking RobbyVanz!!   .....  Oh well all I can do is keep trying I guess, though gotta admit its getting a bit frustrating been out almost everyday for almost 3 weeks now

Been out the past 3 afternoons, a few hours before high tide and haven't had any luck.  Morning have been better for me too.  I would love to catch a few more for the smoker.  Going to fish up river tomorrow at Derby Reach.  Seems like the bulk of run is already up river.

Fished delta area from 3-7 managed to land two nice males with some sea lice still. Foul hooked one, let him do his thing ASAP.
Quite a few others around me catching as well. I hope I can do the same tomorrow.

Good luck out there!

I went through a dry spell and realised it was small things I was doing wrong.  I simplified my tackle and changed my timing on retrieves, and I started getting bites.

I've seen lots of fish caught by people with a basic setup.

Has anyone been using pink rooster tails in the tidal? I had success with them in the lower river a couple of weeks ago but it doesn't seem to be attracting the fish in the Langley/Abby area. Is there a trick into retrieving it?

i've had success with them the past couple of weeks...i find you need to twitch them after casting to set the spinner in motion...if there's little or no resistance when retrieving (at the end of the line) chances are the blade isn't spinning.

Slayed it tonight on 5Rd.  Caught 3 logs and a set of tires floating upstream.     The run is over.  Fish are few and far between.

Test fishery numbers from yesterday were highest of the year so far. But you wouldn't believe it from speaking to fishermen!

The test fishery is up River past Mission.  All this means is the bulk of run is now up river.

I was at Derby area and I've been away for a week but best I've seen too.  I only got 1 hook up and saw about 5-6 caught all around me plus hook ups. 

I'm a newbie and its been a frustrating season (ie zero so far) but the hook up felt good and at least others were catching.

Not necessarily. It depends on how fast they swim / migrate. My guess is that they wod get from Richmond to Langley in less than a day... But I may be wrong.

Ross,

what condition were the fish in?

All were bright chrome, with sea lice. I took 3 does and one buck. The male hardly had any hump at all. The does were huge. Never had does this big before.
