Our neighbors to the south with the pinkos. I had no idea, Puyallup WA.

I laughed pretty hard at the "reel in the slack so you can feel the fish bite...  tap, tap, tap the ground..."  At the same time it makes me sad that people honestly believe that flossing is fishing. 

Nice to see the fish in numbers, but they'll need those numbers with added mortality from all the flossing.

Sorry to hear about your father Rodney. I lost my Dad a few yrs ago. He introduced me to the sport when I was a very young child which has led to a life long addiction. I cherish the memories of him and I fishing together as you will.

may open this Saturday, down stream of hope, 4 a day and closing sept 18th, down stream of mission bridge, and closing sept 20th down stream of hope.  Would give a 3 week opening

Not a chance they will open the non tidal portion of the Fraser.  What a misinforming post.

Your right it’s been put off, no doubt do to pressure from other user groups.

Was planned, Atlest below mission will hopefully still open

Email just went out for a emergency meeting tomorrow from DFO to all it off

I wish to advise you that following some further internal discussions today, DFO implemented a change to the proposed Fraser R. mainstem non-tidal fishery (Mission-Hope) that was discussed on our WG yesterday afternoon.   For this reason, we are asking to convene a short notice special meeting ASAP tomorrow to discuss this important change

SFAB Fraser Pink/Sockeye WG:  SPECIAL MEETING FRI.25.AUG. (DETAILS TBC)

Please note that this fishery will not proceed as planned.
DFO will be speaking to this on our call tomorrow.

Same old same old pandering to the discriminating racist BS. Nothing will ever change

[RalphH]

In my experience fishing the lower tidal Fraser, the tide has less to do with bite and more to do putting the fish closer to casting bank anglers. Spots that are productive on flood tide go barren as the tide ebbs, the water shallows, and the fish travel further out from shore.

then you should find another location to fish.

I am not surprised.  If sockeye and springs are having a low return year, there's a good chance a lot of them are hooked above the Tidal when people are supposed to target Pinks only.

chinook returns are very good this year in the Fraser. Plus the upcoming forecast for Harrison whites is now pegged at 110,000 fish that you are not allowed to fish for currently. 
Springs are doing ok this year.
This is all about another user group lighting their hair on fire because sports fishermen are going to get access to pinks and they don't want anyone else on the water.

It's like that everywhere in WA, even in Bellingham, Burlginton etc. Maybe less shoulder to shoulder.

[RalphH]

how different is that from the Vedder/Chilliwack in accessible locations or the Fraser during rare openings?

[iblly]

Has this tidal Fraser opening already been announced ? I couldn’t find anything saying so.

No

Hey Ralph, it's not so much the numbers of guys but the prevalence of bottom bouncing. For some reason I thought it was more of strictly sockeye thing.
