Almost all the popular bouncing spots are above the mouth.

Fished mid river for a few hours then the last hour lower. I only got pinks but saw six Springs landed by fellow fisherman - one of those frustrating days where it seemed easy for everyone else. The pinks are easy to hook because their take is obvious, was daydreaming a few times and missed some subtle bites that could have been something better.

Did it not rain in Chilliwack on Thursday? Weather report was calling for 20+mm but the water levels didnt even seem to move a tick...

What did you/the other fisherman have rigged up?

I'll be on the mid river this evening :) It's been a long week!

  • sheep rise up.

Is the canal between the 2 bridges fishable? I was wondering if the rain has basically flooded it yet.

Short floating roe counted for all the spring hookups I saw except for one, which was caught on red wool.

I'd tried roe and Colorado spoons but only pinks for me. There were a few fisherman using spoons but saw no coho landed, only the occasional pink and even then a high percentage on spoons were foul hooked.

not much and yes the canal is (as is rest of river) very fishable, vis might be down a bit but other then that it's good

Water clarity did not degrade this morning despite of overnight rain. It's still raining so it might be a different story this afternoon. Plenty of chinook salmon are still active in the river.

Good to know, thanks so much!

May the odds be ever in our favour.

I caught both fish on some fresh boraxed pink roe.
