Does anybody know of any good places around the lower mainland BC for fishing chum at this time of year?

Lots of chum surfacing along the fraser north arm in the evening incoming.  Won't bite and too far out.  Like what Minnie-me says.. Stave is def your best bet.

Or even the Vedder, there's decent numbers of chum there, and there is a greater number of coho in the vedder. You would need a boat for the Harrison but if you are willing to do a bit of a hike, stave is okay.

Anywhere on the Lower Fraser. I caught a 30lb chum on Sunday when I was targeting cohos.

Fisherman's story. LOL. There is no 30lb chum here, but what did you use to hook a chum at tidal Fraser? If it is spoon, what colour works best for it?

Any chance to catch chum from a boat on the main Fraser?  Or is best to go to the Tribs?

By catch when bar rigging for coho.

Landed a 10 lb female and 15 lb male chum today on the Whack river.

Using a Colorado blade for coho  with 8 lb mono on the reel.

Lots of chum around today but not many coho biting.
