Tried a few spots along lower Fraser South Arm this morning and saw a few risers. A ew bite and eventually played one for a while then off the hook.
The bite slowed down after about an hour so I eventually went back to Brownsville (Surrey). Arrived around 10:00 am and people getting fish. The bite seemed very consistent. Got 2 within 20 minutes and another 2 in just over an hour. Seen a few people leaving with their limit. A bit busy but it seems more of a meat fishery there.

Back to the topic. Went to Delta in the lunch break right at the high tide. Saw a few jumpers right away which got me excited but no luck after an hour trying with various lures. Something interesting that happened is that I got a silver follower strike the lure right at my feet. Unfortunately I couldn't set the hook as it was too close and had a bit of slack. I'm doubting it was a pink as it seemed very silver (and the jumping pinks I saw looked greener) and also I don't recall many times where pinks have followed a lure and strike at the last second like that - wonder if it was a trout or a Jack Coho. In any case, we will never know. Went back to work just now and haven't seen any jumpers for the last hour.

It's inappropriate. I happen to know Heather personally and many others who work in the department. I don't see the point of the post, what has she done exactly to inspire someone to generate that kind of attention on her?

I'm a bit old so i had to look up what doxxing meant. It says I posted private information for malicious intent.

So, I have to ask - you claim the info I posted was "private" and you know for a fact I was doing this for "malicious" intent? How exactly. Because there is zero proof of that.

From Wikipedia: Doxing or doxxing is the act of publicly providing personally identifiable information about an individual or organization, usually via the Internet.

This is my understanding of the term, no mention of private information or malicious intent. Regardless, I've made my point, and wish you best of luck with the pinks!

Holy moly. I did fairly well today but yesterday did not seem like 550k passed mission at all!

Question for the fly anglers - todays water clarity in the South Arm didn't seem that terrible so I'm thinking on bringing the fly rod next time I go, as fish were raising fairly close to shore. With almost nonexistent back casting room in the spots I like to go, I wonder if Spey is a better idea as you (almost) don't need any back casting space, but then the lack of current during tide changes may screw up my D-loop. Shall I stick to one hand and rollcast or you think there is a chance at spey?

There is an easy way to find out the answer but with work and small kids I will only get a few chances at this fishery so want to go as prepared as possible. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

I have seen it done with the one hand. Watch for passing cars on your back cast.

Try a circle spey. It seems to be one of the best in still water - either double or single handed.

Went out this evening for a few hours. Caught two nice males and helped net a buddy’s nice female. Two other guys near us each had one, and one guy near us lost one. No noticeable surface activity.

[canoeboy]

I have noticed that, almost no surface activity unlike in the past when you could see a pod coming up from down river.

what in the world, the only day I saw a lot of fish was Friday and every other day has been slow. These fish have developed new tactics XD, I fished south arm today from 7 to last light and only saw a couple jump and no hookups for anyone.  . I don't think they're in the north arm either I've stopped by foreshore at high tide and saw nothing.

Fewer fish yesterday, but we surpassed 4 Million total past Mission.  Looks like it'll easily surpass the minimal 6 Million target.

Sounds the surge is not on Sep 05 but earlier.  I don't understand the 6 million target. Isn't the forecast 20 million fish?
