[Hike_and_fish]

Recreational anglers have little voice and will have little voice as long as we are all segregated into individual groups and races and fight amongst ourselves. We are pleasure seeking and need nothing so we are allocated nothing. Fellow board members have stipulated that we come last, and that’s exactly what it will come down to as long as we fight and bicker for our own quota.

We’re never going to overrule court mandated allocations so trying to argue why nets are out and we aren’t is pure stupidity.

Arguing from the point of recreational anglers is stupid IMO and that why we need to unite as a conservatory cause and be the ones to fight for the fish.

Well said

There is no Tidal Notice but

FN1092 says coho hatchery limit is 2 in on the Non Tidal Fraser.  So October 25th the Tidal Fraser should be open if one tries to guesstimate it.

Is the tidal open on the 25th or midnight of the 26th, I know may be dumb question just asking, seem many folks on the non tidal casting spoons for pike minnows and bull heads

Until the 25th, sounds like Ill be at the Fraser on Thursday. Long overdue, anyone know how the vis is?

I thought the tidal portion of the Fraser opened on the 24th of October ( Wednesday ), when it does open is it 1 hatchery coho a day again?

the river is as low or lower than I have ever seen it this time of year. Clarity is high. In Agassiz Sunday it was at least a few feet.

Near as I can tell is the mouth opens tomorrow and the river opens Friday.

Hopefully it gets clarified by a Notice today as it sounds like they will also close Fraser Chum to all recreational retention.

So are we past the peak of coho migration now, or is it the tail end of it? Is it too early for the Northern Fraser Tributaries for coho still?

Depends what your definition of Nothern Fraser is.

Walking Langley area today and the water is as clear as I have ever seen it this time of year. Was down during outgoing tide and still lots of Chum surfacing as they make there way up. Been watching them for past couple weeks and still decent amount showing themselves. Coho will be in there as well for sure. Mid to end of October, weather and water clarity permitting, has always been the the most productive but I'm usually only tossing hardware.

So is tidal Fraser open for bar fishing coho on the 25th? Is chum no retention? Hope to hear some reports if coho are still around in lower Fraser this late. Lol.

The rec salmon fishing closure ends on October 24th (yesterday), but salmon fishing opportunities starting on October 25th have not been announced, not in a fishery notice, not listed in the BC Sport Fishing Guide, nothing.

An email was sent out this afternoon to point out this sloppiness, which was also pointed out in 2015 and 2013 (see my emails from previous years in the attachment).

The fishery notice and the regulation guide contradict each other btw. Fishery notice says October 24th, regulation says October 25th.

Bring a lawyer with you when you go fishing tomorrow.

Pathetic.

Ima hit my favorite spot this sunrise, good luck to all~

Lots of coho in the lower if you can find them
