OMG......
Two things had to happen...
1 enough fish.... 
2 FN say yes...
ITS THAT SIMPLE
This is just the beginning.  FN will be closing down access to many areas just because they can...
Waiting for Skeena area First Nations to clue into the power they have and have any fishing up there shut down until they catch their quota.  Next few years are going to become very interesting watching it all unfold.

This is better for the fish. Nobody knows the exact impact of those 2021 Vedder floods until more fish come into the river.  With El Nino probably bringing in more predators from the southern ocean, we need all the extra fish to preserve 2025 pink run.


Somehow those fish can bypass the lower section below Mission?

This might be a dumb question. Would fishing a bar rig ruffle any feathers from the CO's. Casting spoons is a bit tough for my son but tending to a rod he's all for it. I have unscented egg clusters I've used on the squamish for Pinks in the past.

is that a small piece of lead between the orange bead and the tasman lure? hows that rigged? to what effect...

additional weight helps a few feet casting distance. but probably not necessary. fish are close to shore.

Bar fishing is legal but I don't how effective it would be for pinks.

Pink does not bite roe at all. Do others find the same?

May be rig up a spin and glo?  Not sure if the current is strong enough in the Tidal Fraser.

Me neither. But it's something to occupy the kiddo while I toss some lures. And if a pink bites the more excitement for him.

Yes they do bite roe. I've hooked many while fishing for coho on the Vedder.
