Lighting lakes are like 1 hr away from bridal falls

Jones Lake isn't far as I think.
But how's the shore fishing?  Is it productive?

I have only known people that took some sort of floating craft. It's July !!! just use a bloody floating mattress to fish from or inner tube

[clarkii]

All a float tube is is a fancy inner tube you cannot fall through.

Or its a V shaped modern thing that resembles a mini pontoon

[koifish]

Lol its not the reason I don't have a belly boat or a tube it's that my dad doesn't want to go on a belly boat or tube

I definitely would if I was allowed

[Alomar]

Went to jones a two mays ago, had a boat but found fishing to better from shore just casting out worms and letting them sit in the bottom, some nice cutties

[koifish]

Scale bar will most likely be under water still. Plus you have the 3km walk to get there and back. I'm not sure the name but there is a bar below the bridge in Hope you can fish from that I think should have some dry land to stand on. There is Chinook in the Fraser now and will still be moving through then (pretty sure its the only species open that's in the river)

Chinook ARE NOT open at that time, DFO will announce an opening date for them later, probably around July 15.

Hey hook I'll ask some tackle shops

And if it is closed can you still catch and release?
Thanks

My bad !!

they are usually open by then. I don't fish for them in the Fraser so I never bother to check. I still remember when they opened May 1st every year

For salmon in freshwater why not go to the regulations - http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/fresh-douce/region2-eng.html

Freshwater regs. - http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/regulations/
You should add these to your favourites, beats always asking here and maybe getting the wrong info.

Anybody fish the  coquihalla  river Upstream of the lower entrance to the lower railway tunnel: (a) no fishing Nov 1 - June 30; (b) fly fishing only, single barless hook, and bait ban
So it's closed to gear but open to fly fishing anybody fish here on shore with any luck?
