Right on rod! It's been a phenomenal year for them so far! Shame it closes tonight. yesterday alone between me and leadbelly and another friend we had a couple triple headers and brought in dozens of fish.

Good to hear everyone is catching fish. Such a great fishery.

[leadbelly]

last night was bonkers and the few days before that good too
this mornings incoming tide was full of biters as well!

I guess this thread can now be closed since the pink season has come to an end.

Went fishing this evening and at about sunset lucked into a school of pinks passing by.  Landed 3 doe's.

On the way out I spoke to another fisher who said they had heard that dfo will be extending the pink opening for another 3 days.  Anyone else hear this?

I enjoyed the last day of pink fishing on my couch.  I’ve had the worst luck. This year. So I gave up hahahaha. Time to hang the fishing rod up and dust off the riffles 

There be deer up in them hills

I highly doubt that, we would know by now. Maybe he was talking about non tidal which is open until 21 i think

the visible schools of pinks we saw last night on the inflow was jaw dropping
I've never seen them shoulder to shoulder in tight formation before it was nuts out there
sad that its over, but so much fun!

The trend is increasing again.  This is good for the later run rivers like the Vedder and Harrison.

Thats awesome to hear! I'm glad our local rivers are seeing some fish despite the weather from 2 years ago.

I didn't, but thanks for the heads up.

While no panel update has been posted on the PSC website (usually done tuesdays), the distribution package is available and it estimates there are still more than 5.5 million pinks seaward. My guess is most of these fish will be headed for the Fraser below Hope, Harrison & Chilliwack. Weather is looking good for this to happen in the next couple of weeks. I was on the vedder yesterday. Numbers of pinks are ok but either run will be small or the bulk is yet to come. Some Coho and springs are there. I was into both plus landed 1/2 dozen or so pinks. Fish came up early in the morning and stopped later in line with the tide change. Water is very low & fish are holding in a few small runs. Lots of flossing etc. As a note it seems to me while this has been a large return, average body mass is significantly smaller. I have caught a number in the 2 to 3lb range. Nothing of 5 and higher. My past experience was Fraser pinks were often 'cookie cutter fish' of 22 inches and 4lbs with some larger specimens of 6 to 7lbs.

Found a commercial net tangled up in a log boom today. Chalked full of dead pinks and unfortunately some very nice Chinooks.

One guess what nation it belongs to.  Too drunk too stupid to remove it from the water.  Just leave it because the water is theirs..
