@Fish Assassin: Many boats were gillnetting for salmon all afternoon.

[bbronswyk2000]

In Abby barfishing today viability was only about 4 inches. I wanted to throw hardware while my son had a bar rod out but we had two bar rods out instead. No luck while we were there. Fished about 3 hours and only saw a few jumpers the entire time and those jumpers were quite far out, not in casting range.

Bar fished a popular  abby bar this morning from first light till noon. 2 nice wilds gently released and a 4 lb hatchery buck bonked. Guys beside me also had success  including a Chum.

I think temperature has alot to do with water vis. It was really warm today.

Is 20 degrees right now in Maple Ridge.

Get used to it. Over the next 50 years we are going to see this as the norm. The world is changing.

You'll be looking back fondly on this date when you're snowed under, high winds and freezing rain.

Going to Alberta?

Just got back from river in Maple Ridge.  Visibility getting worse.  Seems like less than a foot.

Yep, unfortunately a growing trend, I've not done much research on the studies on how this affects salmon migration but I can't imagine it's good.

We are already seeing a later run of fish this year, lack of rain slowed it all down.

Fished two hours this afternoon at south arm, same visibility as yesterday. Lost a chum (18-20 lbs) on its second jump, it bent the hook (Owner Mosquito 2/0).

Novice question - for those catching chum and the odd coho on the Lower Fraser are folks using a 3-way swivel and fishing off the bottom or float fishing with roe?

Unless you can find a piece of still water where fish may congregate for a period of time, pretty much all of roe fishing is done with a bottom rig (3-way swivel or T-bar). You're targeting fish that are constantly travelling up the Fraser River so the goal is to have your bait stationary at one spot and intercept these travelling fish as they move up the river.
