In a word... yes.
A quick google search will send you to a few  but honestly,  just go to the river and look for the crowds.
Peg leg, laidlaw, island 22, cattermole, ferry island, jones, herling, scale... theres lots more.

Have been bar fishing the lower with no success as of yet but noticed more socks jumping last week than this week. Ki d of odd because the clarity has only been getting better althought the temperature has been getting warmer too..

I was out Saturday and it's the same story.  No hint of any fish.  Lots of local it seems just drove down to the river and watch for surface activities without even wetting their line.  I over heard them say there was one good day since the opening but the rest of the time there is huge stretches of nothing.

Family was out yesterday and couldn't catch anything either.  Seems the nets have been hitting them hard for a couple days.  My dad was out earlier in the week though and was doing very well.  No nets anymore except at the mouth so by tomorrow it should be better again.

There was huge netting efforts yesterday as I drove over the Fraser a few times.

Yes, they all supposedly stopped at 11 last night except for the mouth.

This up-coming limited commercial opening won't help things either.  I was at the Steveston docks yesterday.  1 boat was selling pinks for 5$ per fish.  Another boat was selling sockeye from Barkley Sound for $7 per lb.

Anywhere away from the crowds via boat to check out?  PM-me?

My Dad is bringing some little cousins out to try their hand.  I would like to send to a place less combat-ish.

Cheers.

Was out at Peg Leg last night from 6-9. Looked like everyone was catching their limit pretty quickly but me  :(. I forgot to stock up on weights before I went out and everyone was using 6oz, and I only had a couple 1.5oz's in my tackle.
