After work, I went to the North Arm around 4:00 pm.
Including Pierboy, only few people were fishing. 
I got kind of depressed when they told me no fish were caught so far.

Few casts later, I foul hooked an lethargic and pathetic looking chum.
It was in my net less than a minute...
 
Pierboy asked me, if chums are often caught here,
I guess, he must have thought this chum was a rare catch for this place.

I told him, this place produces good amount every year,
and fishes  here are usually very chrome compared to other places up-river.

Anyways, as soon as Pierboy and his friend had left for the day,
another male chum took my lure and started running!
This time the fish looked very decent and was full of energy.

It was the first so so looking chum of the season,
so I took it home for the pickling in salt.

I guess, at the North Arm  pinks season is over now and chums' have began...
I wanted to get more pink roe for coho season...Dah!

Guess you'll just have to get chum roe    What was the tide like and what colour lure was the choice?

Nice hat, ever heard of a raincoat?

Thanks for the report. Was thinking of going this morning but I slept in.

It wouldn't have made a difference.

Oooooooooo that hurts ! 

[Rodney]

The truth always does.

Chum salmon will eagerly bite a spoon just like pinks. The fishing in tidal Fraser for chums should last until late November.

sweet fish!

Thats a gorgeous chum.  Had a doe like that a few years ago from the Big Qualicum - absolutely dime bright with only the slightest purple hints on the side.

Thanx for posting the pic, Rod.

I had all my gears in my car except for the rain coat..Doh!  I had a bath towel wrapped around my shoulders, since it was so cold this evening... I must've looked pretty weird..    Yeah, OK!, I do look weird to begin with, but, at leaset I did change my clothes, though.
I didn't wanna join the gman's Suit & Tie Formal Attire Fishing Club..

Well, the tide was... almost high tide and began to flow back out...

Of course, the dog bit the  Rod's Tackle Shop's, Pink Salmon Special, 
silver and neon pink stripe....,  as I was aiming for pinks.
I was using 8lb. line.. it was worrisome but made it more exciting.

Your welcome, FA.

Thats a good looking Chum. Chum is the most underrated of the salmon species in my opinion. I love catchig them on the fly. If they are like that they are also nice smoked.
