going to fish the lower Fraser,around duncan to mission bridge.   what would be good tactics?  trolling, spinning,bar fishing?

   are the cohos deep or on the surface.  would a flyrod be better?  what is the colour of choice


much tanks.

If you're fishing the Lower Fraser, I would recommend bar fishing using chum roe

[Double Underhooks]

This may be obvious to some of you guys but is there really a big difference between using chum or pink roe???

[Fish Assassin]

I agree that chum roe is better, at least in my experience

[ahans]

Those salted chum roe from Berry's is very good for barfishing.

[bbronswyk2000]

The reason you mainly use different roe is because of what is in the system. Right now the pinks are done and it is mostly chums that are spawning so you use chum roe.

Thats all very true. But you guys are forgetting about COHO roe. I am using it right now and yesturday I had jus as many, or more hits than the guys there. However, I still dident land any . But ya from what I hear, chum roe is the best, but if you only have coho roe then use it becuase it will still produce if fish are biting. Oh and Ahans, does the roe from Berry's come in different amounts or is it all the same? Im goin out at around 4 in the RAIN!! And im going to use my coho roe,its not the best time to fish but ill post something when I get back.

It makes no difference with the type of roe used when roe fishing in the Fraser River.

[*Lil Fisherman*]

Not exzactly, I think a lot of it has to do with your curing recipe. On the other hand the guy next to me yesturday was fishing with just regular chum roe and got three jack coho(only two hatchery) and one 3-5 lb wild and a few other on and gonners. I guess you could say its really...... UNPREDICTABLE!!

[ahans]

You can buy those salted chum roe by the lbs from Berry's.

[Big Steel]

I don't think that what kind of roe you use really makes a difference!!   I hit all 3 of my coho this weekend on pink roe, my buddy hit a chum and 1 coho on chum and spring roe!!!  So I don't really think that it matters!!!

ok so... roe is good, but the others?

[Fish Assassin]

Boraxed pink roe can be excellent for cohos.

[fisher88]

do you guys put your roe in bait bags?? so it doesnt come off every 3rd cast?

[FISHYtheGREAT]

Cure it properly and it doesnt come off that fast, your doing somthing wrong if thats happening!
