Is it possible (with a reasonable chance of success) to catch Sockeye on a fly rod from this location, or do most angles use spoons/spinners?

Hey Rod; you have obviously spent one or two hours at this location,

have you tried or seen anyone have any luck fly fishing for socks at this location?

Again, if the guides can't figure it out and they stand to make a lot of money doing it...it gives me pause.

Folks have been trying in the Steveston area for about 100 years, so far without any success. Gill nets work.

I have lived near GP my entire life and have never seen one caught legit.

I've caught a few on spoons, a couple of other colleagues have caught a few on flies and spinners.

Heavy buzz bombs and trolling jigs may better your odds to get it out fad and get it deep to where the fish may be.

Thank you Rod.

I know the pink runs are on the odd years, but are there still enough on the even years that they're worth fishing for at garry point?

No.
