Was at Peg Leg today. Good amount of sockeye this morning before the pinks arrived. Mostly sockeye landed in the morning hours and then mostly pinks later on throughout the day.

The opening notice says that sockeye is open "to Sept 7". Just to carify, does this mean up to and including Sept. 7? Seems about half of people say it is still open tomorrow and the other half say it is closed. Anyone know for sure?

Tonight at midnight.

According to

Tomorrow is inclusive in the sockeye opening.

can't wait till this madness is all over some will stick around and fish where's most of the people will wait till the vedder starts and well GONG SHOW again but this time they have to work for their fish and most of them wont go out on a regular basis cause they can't catch fish by flossing.

I don't understand about these complains about Pegleg and so forth.  Don't forget Vancouver has 3 million people and thousands of fishermen, one Fraser and limited bars. It does get crowded.  Look at England, Japan, many other European and Asian countries. Shoulder to shoulder fishing environment is seen very often.

One person fishing Vancouver River left a Tim Horton cup that might not look messy but that is 100% litering. Pegleg, hundreds if not thousands of people fished there, just 10% bad apple will make the place look really ugly.  So unless you do take the time to count please don't over generalize.

No need to argue.

Sockeye 2 per day. Sept. 1 - Sept. 7, daylight hours only

States clearly no fishing for sockeye from Sept 8 - Oct. 7.

Today is the last day.

[steelieman]

The age of how long you have fish has nothing to do with it. The reg says - " September 1st -September 7th 2005 inclusive one hour after daylight ". Its written in black and white.

I have not fish socks for a few days but I am sure most fishermen knows the closing date.

Fishythegreat, if you are right, DFO must be out there handing out tickets left right and center. Lots of money to make$$$$$$$$$

thanx for the report. i have to agree, this year the crowds were civil. although i avoided the peg i experienced the same atmosphere at the other bars.

It always surprises me how much garbage people leave behind, if everyone just thought this one simple thought before they drop stuff on the ground the world would be a much cleaner place.  "What would I do if this was my backyard (Which in essence it is) and my mother was watching me?"    If you drop it pick it up!  I was at Peg Leg this weekend and picked up a 1/4 bag of garbage and that was just the stuff I came across in my wanderings, I didn't go out looking for it.  I shudder to think what I would get if I really hunted for it.  If I am there this weekend maybe I will get the kids to help me collect.  Make a contest of it amazing what kids will do for a small treat!  >evil laugh<  Such a manipulator I am!!!
