Not where I was at earlier today, off Coquitlam. Visibility was still around 2 ft. or so at high tide. Lots of fish, mostly chum and some coho, moving through near shore, but no takers on roe other than coarse fish  :-\. They can be seen jumping and porpoising. One guy landed a chum on a spinner and that was it. With such good water clarity, should have switched to lures instead

Thanks for the info. :)

[Oct 16] Fished from first light (07:00 - incoming) until around 15:00 (outgoing) in the Langley area.  9 to shore between the two of us with 3 or 4 more long line releases.  Fishing roe (no fire colors) with single hook...  some good fish, a couple in the 3-4 lb range most in the 5-6 and a couple that had to be 7ish. 

Fishing was fairly consistent throughout the day, bringing in one every hour +/- until outgoing when it picked up.  Mostly wilds during the day, mostly hatchies in the outgoing afternoon.

From what we saw of other fishermen (our view was blocked for the most part), their day was similar.  Spoke with one other couple (thanks for the jump start!) and they brought in 6 or 7 for the day.

Good day, made up for some of the slower ones last week!

Hit the incoming Langley area this morning for 3 hours (9-12), not a sniff.  Not ideal time to fish but I'll take what I can get before a shift!  A few others in the area, I saw 1 caught, not a lot of people jumping to their rods for hits...  Vis about 3 feet or so.

Fished Annacis for a couple of hours after work (4:30-6:30)..nothing for me either other than a few nibbles. Apparently I missed most of the action that happened the hour before I arrived..the rain started too  ::)- buddy who came earlier had 1 hatch already in the bag. Another also had another hatch and landed a couple of wild fish. Lots of risers and jumpers as the tide came up. Visibility was about a foot and degraded slightly when the rains came.

Fished once earlier this week after hearing some hot reports. There were quite a few fish in the 3 to 5lb range being caught during the outgoing tide, some were hatchery fish. Lures hardly produced while roe was the ticket. Here's a beautiful wild one that was released after a quick pic. Water clarity was ok, could be better for lures but it's good enough.

Up in the Mission/Abby area today. Fished the incomming tide as the outgoing this day was very late. As the tide got bigger the clarity degraded down to 6 inches. Even roe wasnt producing as I was switching back and forth between bar fishing and spincasting.

I' ve out the last 2 days with some results:

Thursday 2 chum on a spinner and a croc on the North Arm in Burnaby - right in the 2 hours around high slack. Water clarity was pretty good. I was the only person fishing

Out past Langley at Glen Valley Park on Friday. Fished 4 hours and the bight was on after high slack for about an hours. I got a wild coho while I saw 2 coho (1 hatch) landed, 1 lost and 1 chum doe taken between 5 or 6 anglers. All on roe. Water clarity was ok. Not a lot of fish rising. Sturgeon guys (in boats) landed a couple of monsters.

For all the bar experts out there, how long do you hope the coho fishery season will be productive for?

I only cast spoons when it comes to fishing  at the Fraser river.  When people mention fishing with roe, is this like float fishing at the Vedder?  Thanks
