lower Fraser May 4
« on: May 04, 2005, 03:50:15 PM »
 Got to the bar around 11 this morning only one other fisherman there, fished about 4 hours, caught and released 2 dollys in the two or three pound range, guy beside me caught 6 dollys, just as I was about to leave another fisherman showed up asking questions, stating that he had never bar fished before, so I showed him how tie some bait loops and got him set up. Ten minutes later the new guy lands a huge dolly maybe 7 lbs?, I thought it was a steelhead at first it was so fat, it was tough for him to let it go being it was the biggest fish this fellow had ever caught, but he let it go with a big grin on his face. No signs of any salmon yet but all in all was  a great day, between the dollys and the bullheads it was none stop action.

T's sniffing in too much of that fume coming out of the sewage plant nearby the Alex Fraser. ;D However, they would be in the area right now, if you got lots of roe you'll probably hit one eventually. ;) Nice report lucky, I am not getting out until that water clears up around early June, will get them on the spinners then. :)

FOR REAL multiple jumpers, several at a time for over 1/2 hour. Hundreds may be an exagerated amount, but the report is good. I'll rephrase it , hehehe, LOT's n LOT's of springs were jumping in the lower fraser yesterday on the ebb tide. I myself have seen springs jumping just before high tide in the evenings for the past 2 weeks while i've been out after sturgies, at least 3 or 4 per night. But yesterday was by far the most I've seen yet. A good school of em definately went through...... or maybe it was somethin i was smokin....... hmmmm
