Seems like the pink run in Washington is smaller than anticipated

http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/outdoors/2017/mar/02/pink-salmon-returns-puget-sound-not-so-hot-year/

This article is from March, talking about the low projected runs.  Runs have been at least as big as predicted in most rivers, and as has been observed in BC, fish are bigger this year.

Thinking of heading out to fish this week, can't go as far as Squamish, but was thinking Stave, or the Chilliwack river, or even the Tidal Fraser. Anyone have suggestions? Anyone been to those places recently?

What's in the Chilliwack right now?

You can find cutthroat in the Stave now. Mostly smallish fish. It's usually pretty quiet this time of year, in terms of anglers, but nice scenery.

Isn't the chilliwack river the Vedder? or are they different? Also, after reading up on your guy's reports, Ambleside seems like a good place to head to in the morning or afternoon, can anyone confirm?

pinks are 1.98 lb at superstore bright color.

Just got back from Squamish and FC.  It was super slow like people have been reporting the last couple of days.  I can't believe it appears to be tapering off already.  Right now is supposed to the peak of the run from what I can remember.

Fished Squish from 3-7  yesterday..

 Managed one bright fish

 Guess I lucked out  .. as I saw zero fish caught by anyone else that was nearby.

How are people doing at Ambleside?

[1st lite]

Heading up to Squamish later this afternoon. The evening bite seemed to be better this last week.
When I go and have a look at Ambleside, there are basically no boats out front or in that area. Tried the beach fishing a few times and didn't see much happening. Everyone seemed to have the same results. . . nothing. The Pacific TAngler beach report says the reason they don't jump is because they are mainly wild Coho and fresh fish . . . .? I don't get it. What does he mean by that??? I always thought a fresh school (pod) of fish are more aggressive and willing to bite. Bottom line is there's not much going on there. Oh. in that same beach report it says that still lots of Pinks at Furry Creek and going strong. Sounds like FAKE news to me. Just seems like a quite season in most areas.
Getting ready to head up to Squamish now.

G'luck

Hopefully more fish push into the system.

Could not believe how many people were fishing the Mamquam yesterday.
Above and below the train bridge.
AFAIK it is still closed for Pinks.  Im surprised CO's are not more active there ..esp on weekends..

After 7 or 8 visits to the Squamish and FC and typically seeing none or one fish caught (one time that only person was me!) I'm calling it time on that season. Hoping things improve for others but starting to get a bit worried about the health of the fishery.

There around

There around

people actually catching stuff or not?

Do the fishies do anything odd during eclipse? Curious to hear tomorrow. I would think having 4-5 hours of first light will be kinda nice for anybody heading out.

When it is full eclipse, everybody will catch a fish
