Good post the voice of experience what many lack these days.

If there's anyone who knows his Fraser chit, that would be firstlight.

One a piece for Dad and I this morning. Both had sea lice, good to see a few dodged nets

Quite a few going up the north arm last night.

Has anyone been up to Lillooet and fished the area of the fraser open for socks up there yet? Opened a few days ago and am wondering if anyone is having any luck yet.

Super easy, limited in 10 mins yesterday checked out a bar with more people and they were also catching pretty good.

So Chilliwack area bars will be dead slow by August 23/24 and Hope area bars by August 24/25. Fishery folks seem to want to slow down you weekend sockeye warriors. Lol.

I see this as the opposite - only an 8 hour opening - should have much less of an impact on sport fisheries.   Next weekend should be fine.

They already warned of a possible extension, and the way things are going this season....its basically a sure thing....question is how long the extension will be.

At Calmity point today. I got one. Saw two landed. From 6am to 11sm. Slow today.

Prices are coming down. $15 bucks per fish on Craigslist.  I was at Costco the other day and they were selling sockeye fillet for $15 per lb.

Saw quite a few at Gill laying in their rock pools when i was cleaning up garbage which was not too bad thankfully as other are doing the same. We may
put a cleanup together when the activity stops, we have done it before but very few take part. It should be over by September 3 and unless an extension is given. One would think everyone should have enough fish by then and sick of standing a few feet apart hour after hour.

I fish from my boat so I have no experience with these crowds people talk about. Sounds like a mess. I have seen sport drink bottles, coffee cups and full on garbage cans x2 floating down the river. I snagged into a bouncing setup today and pulled up some heavy braid line tried to a 6o hook with a barb. Other than that it's been very nice to cast from a boat. Everyone is nice and respectful for the most part. The only time my buttons get pushed on a daily basis is when a boat decides to unload its crew on a bar and wade out to their tits in the river. Then my line is cast over. It's been the guides doing this for the most part.

River has seemed to slow down considerably, at least where I've been. Test nets have also taken a downturn........ are they holding off the mouth or have the nets scooped everything out? In river commercial opening closed Thursday night, surely the river should have refilled since then. Where's the big surge of late runs?
