Went out this morning after dropping my daughter off at school. Got to fraser at 10:00, 5 bites in an hour, lost all of them…..packed up and went for a scouting walk in Vedder canal, saw small school of pinks pushing up under the high noon with a couple chinook mixed…will go out to fraser again during the weekend, very limited opportunities on vedder still, yet already a bunch of snaggers setting their floats at 6ft in 2ft deep water and setting the hooks at the end of each short drift, disgusting…

Reading tackle shop fishing reports. They sound very good.

went out briefly this morning, pretty good before the tide peaked, quite down after 8:30, should still be good tomorrow.

Helped my buddy's kid catch and land his first salmon, we were pretty stoked. We let a female go and the folks around us gave us the WTH face LOL

I heard Derby Reach is fishing well for Pinks. Tansmanium Devil lure is really producing there. People getting limits.

Looks like a everybody catching fishing day! Enjoy the last day opening tomorrow!

yes, 5lb, not 15lb, with FG knot, easiest way to boost casting distance…

watched some test on youtube that 10lb power pro braid with FG knot has 20lb breaking point strength, so I figured 5lb should be enough for pinks and tested it, works well.

Thanks for the FG knot tip.  Works great.  Not sure if this was the difference but I did pretty well on the Fraser today.

Also not sure about whether I will try using a weaker main line.

Is tomorrow, 17th, the last day? I thought the notice said opening for Sept 1-18, so Monday the last day?

Not bad hey, I used to believe it’s super difficult to tie until I saw this video:

I use a swivel. knot the braid to swivel with a palomar knot and then the mono/floro with a improved clinch or trilene knot.

I liked the FG knot because it passes through the rod guides during a cast without issue.  It's more fuss than using a swivel, but for now it seems worth it.

I use the PR knot

A swivel has a bearing in the center and is meant to reduce line twist. A knot can't do that.

Braid will twist up like a corkscrew if you don’t use a swivel to tie your leader onto the main line.
