I thought outgoing tide would be good for south arm, but last couple of days there were only single stragglers. Big schools arrived during incoming.

End of next week should be excellent.

You'll see 10 fish on the surface at any given time during prime time.

Many angling opportunities are more learning and less catching opportunities .

I have never fished the fraser before over my 8 years of fishing, what are some good spots on the fraser?

North Arm in Richmond had a dyke upgrade a few years ago and there are large gravel areas to pullover along the river, however there are no parking signs.  Hopefully bylaw will turn a blind eye for a bit. 

Further west there used to by nice sheltered pullouts among the Cottonwood trees.  All those trees have been cut down and access blocked off.

Access is definitely more limited than it used to be.

What an ignorant comment.  Karma hopes you go for a swim with waders on while fishing for pinks....

Iʻm sorry I just wanted user inputs from their successes, I didnʻt know that was so offensive to some people.

I've started to notice this on the south arm, it seems around high tide for about an hour a bunch of fish come through and then its dead for hours and only a couple stragglers are caught.

Remember the high tide in front of you is later upstream. You can always chase the fish up the river.

Check out the list of spots for the Tidal Fraser River I got on this page:

http://www.fishingwithrod.com/articles/region_two/tidal_fraser_river.html

I would say Derby Reach, Glen Valley, Matsqui are kid-friendly because of the gravel bars.

The spots in Richmond are all on bigger rocks that you have to walk down on along the dyke, can be tricky, but you do encounter fresher fish in this area.

no need to apologize, just for myself when I first started I read every article I could on Rodney's website and I learned so much. I feel everybody interested should. That's the first place I recommend anybody to start, you can spend days perusing everything like I have, but you probably aren't nearly as crazy as me about fishing  . There is a tidal Fraser fishing section on the homepage. I have fished river road, dyke road, annacis island, sapperton landing, foreshore park you name it. In the end the timing and luck is way more important than location (other than fishing a snag free spot) and there is more than enough content on the site to find all you need. Success is never assured only hoped for.

Seems the commercial fishing in tidal fraser coincident with lack of success start Sep 2nd. Unless fish only push in in good number on Sep 1st.

Saw hundreds fishing rising on Sep 1st. 2 rising today.

Are the pinks in Vedder Canal in number yet? With the lower tidal Fraser slowing down fishing due to commercial opening, perhaps it is better to try the Vedder, especially with fly fishing.

Have you tried yet to fish for them off the dog park? Curious as this spot is close to me and I have had tried once before, but had no luck.

Havent had the chance yet, just got back in vancouver. Might head out to that spot soon

FYi... Over the past 25 years, I have caught way more pink salmon in North Arm than South Arm. South Arm tends to get those huge surges of fish flooding in during the incoming tides, but they are usually short lived. North Arm's fish tend to stream in steadily, not only throughout each tide, but also throughout the season too. I have caught fresh, chrome pink salmon in North Arm as late as early October.

Is north arm across from the YVR airport?
