I know most of you may think I am a bit crazy but after finishing this years fishing i could only start to look forward to another.
I have fished for pinks for many years but i have only fished around richmond.
Has anyone fished for them around pitt meadows or haney dock.
Thanks

It's a very exciting fishery, and I am definitely looking forward to it.

I spent much of summer 2013 waist deep in the Squamish.

No need to stand waist deep, many times the fish are 2 feet from shore...

I might be going after pinks, might not.  will probably try to figure out a new system, focus on a couple, or take care of unfinished business from fishing in 2013.

Definitely... Standing in Waist deep water ruins the fishing for yourself and others around you, this especially applies to the Squamish River summer pink salmon fishery. Because it takes place in July and August, when water clarity is still quite poor, fishing is best along the edge of the river where water clarity is much better than further out. By standing on shore or in ankle deep water, you can make sure fish will travel closer to shore, in only a couple of feet of water. You can simply fish with a jig by having a float adjusted a couple of feet above the jig. Drift along that shallow water and there'll be hook-up on every cast if fish are on the move. It's the most frustrating thing to have newly arrived anglers immediately walking out and standing in the water, pushing fish further out, then everybody have to start walking out, eventually turning the fish completely off because they are no longer travelling in clean water.

Very nice video, Have you ever tried or heard people fishing for pinks along the maple ridge area. as i reside in coquitlam the drive to richmond is long.

[Rodney]

You can catch pink salmon anywhere along the Fraser River, fish have to travel all the way to the tributaries and spawn after all. Time your tide right and you should be able to find biting fish around Maple Ridge too.

I personally can't wait for pink season! But let's see how the steelhead season goes first 
I am excited to try and fish for pinks in the tributaries of the Fraser like the vedder. This year I finally had great success fishing with jigs for chum so I should be able to catch pinks like crazy.

[Stewie]

I am super excited. This will be my first pink season. Just another reason to be outside on the river.

[VA7DDP]

Pink Wool, gonna stock up early this time.

[mvelasco]

Pink Wool, gonna stock up early this time.

Lol I hear ya

[Every Day]

After this past summer, and a buddies introduction to showing me a new method, I can say for the first time in 5+ years that I am indeed excited about fishing pinks again this summer.

There is nothing quite like watching a salmon wake and boil after a dry fly, and pinks seem to be the most keen to do so.

[Knnn]

Dry fly fishing for pinks!  Please tell me more?  Clear water?  What flies, anything pink by any chance?
