I'm not sure if this is of any help since I dont live in that area but in about a month or so you will be able to fish the Fraser for pinks. I know there are at least a few floating docks along the valley that are wheelchair accessible and are close to transit. The one I have in mind is at Sapperton Landing but I'm sure there's more. Maybe someone else will chip in with more details about others.
Good luck

Hi John and welcome to the site
What did you fish for in the UK, didn't think there would be much in Birmingham :-\

I used to fish in the ocean for cod and flat fish, beach casting in the UK (North East)

now I fish all over the place here --mostly Fly fishing if I can

Keep an eye on the regions fishing closures right now in most of the areas streams rivers and sloughs.
There is multiple species in the Nic, but it is closed at the moment.

The boundary is 208th I believe. And there is many access points between there and the mouth. The most popular spot would be where it crosses 184th. There's also the Serpentine, some popular spots are where it crosses 64th ave or down at the bird sanctuary off KG hwy. Freshwater boundary is the train bridge right near the mouth not the locks like some think. Both are decent spots for Coho in the fall and a long list of other species.

I would also point you to Sapperton.  Easy access from the skytrain and nice stable area to fish from.  There are a ton of Pinks that travel through there, and always a chance to nail a coho at as well.  Lots of other fish down there with bait, like whitefish and northern pikeminnow.

I find fishing in a Surrey ditch to be a less appealing option.
