I had a sinking feeling as I drove along the perimeter road and River Road in Langley on my way out to see hundreds of boats all along the Fraser up through to Mission...
Ive been barfishing tonnes with great success but today was absolutely dead. No rises nothing.
After seeing all the boats, however, I was not surprised...
Got to see lots of boats roughly tossing back unwanted fish which were likely coho

How long after a commercial opening do you need to wait in order for fishing to become plausible again?

Few days late but Oct 23 (last sunday) out in Glenn Valley area, slow fishing, a couple wilds in on high slack/outgoing.  B U T nice to see a CO (she said she was from Chilliwack, down with another CO from the area) came by, checking everyone.  First time I've been checked in the area in years!

I was out in Surrey again today. Fished first light to 5pm.

Landed two Coho jacks (one hatch, one wild), lost two big Coho during the fight, and missed lots of good bites!

Had Coho/Chum roe tandem rigged as usual.. they ignored the Coho roe all day!

Most of the action was in the morning from 7am until noon.

There were boats gill netting the river again all day today.. and spoke to regulars who said yesterday was the same. Makes you wonder sometimes..

Also had the weirdest thing happen today.. It's about 4pm and pretty high tide and I finally got a bite after about an hour. I set the hook and a big Sturgeon jumps out of the water and snaps my leader! It broke my bottom hook off. There was still roe on my top hook so I just cast it out again into a different spot. 1 minute later I get hits again and set the hook.. Sturgeon on! Half hour later with 12lb mono leader I landed a 6 foot Sturgeon! Hahaha! I target these things sometimes and never get anything over 4 feet.. go figure XD

Was by myself when I landed the Sturgeon but I managed a quick pic...



Sounds like you had a fun day!

That's an awesome sturgeon too!

This is so cool, you never know what can come out of the depths of this glorious river!
BTW imagine a CO walking in midway through the fight, ooops :D

Why do you say that?
You do not need a sturgeon tag in tidal waters.

was just trying go make a joke, I've never fished for dinos before so I'm not familiar with regs,  I'd love to give it a shot one day though. Sorry if someone's offended.
