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.

Ha we’re not even done with this year’s coho season and you’re already prepping for next year’s pinks!

Nothing wrong with that though. I look forward to pinks if for no other reason it’s by far the best opportunity to introduce newbies to salmon fishing in a more casual environment and still have a good chance they’ll actually have something on the line worth keeping.

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.

People fish for pinks productively literally through out the entire length of the Fraser wherever shore access can be found. Thats one of the more appealing aspects of that fishery IMHO. No need to fight massive crowds at a few premium spots or other such lunacy. If you're willing to walk and explore a bit its not hard to find lots of action with hardly another person in sight.

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

Clear water on the beaches.
Flies are either pink or a crystal white. Anything that created an extremely large wake was productive.

One of these days I may post a video... took so much footage of that weekend that's just been sitting there waiting for me to have time to do something with it.

I know the area well and have pink fished it for several seasons. Can be less that stellar from shore, we lost access to a good spot a few seasons ago and the Haney Wharf is always crowded though fun to watch. There are some shorelines you can fish from but no different than any where else.

My pink count last year was 49 - just short of the magical 50.

Limited out several times in Richmond/Delta but that number includes an incredible day fly fishing at the mouth with a count of around 30.

I live in Maple Ridge and the access to the Fraser is very limited especially  for those of us with a  disability so I  try to fish in the Langley/Abbotsford  area because the access along the Fraser is farr better with at least  4 large bars to fish from that are less than 30mins from the Golden Ears bridge.

Im interested to see how they will react to twitching jigs.

[Humpy]

They react very aggressively to twitching jigs, great way to learn the technique as they are plentiful.

Would love to see it!

Thanks for giving me the idea of dry fly fishing for them.  I find that there can be too much accidental flossing or snagging when swinging a sinking line or sink tip in less than clear water. Even a dry line with weighted fly can be a problem because of the sheer density of fish.   Fishing dry would be a great alternative.

Thanks Have you tried fishing before the first nation reserve i think ill hit that spot first.

Has anybody tried float fishing them with a jig in the fraser

No need to drive to Richmond.  Google earth any access point and chuck great in the water, as others have mentioned, usually with no one else around.

I have tried jigs and curl tailed grubs and other stuff.  Nothing works better than lures with flash, spoons and spinners, where I fish (mid- lower river).
