As fresh as it gets
Published on September 17th, 2011 by Rodney
Since the Fraser River pink salmon fishing season started around two weeks ago, fishing has been pretty challenging. there are always surprises every season. This year, fish seem to be travelling into the river without following a consistent pattern. In the last week or so, fishing has actually been pretty slow and many wondered if the season was actually tapering off to a dismal finish. Well, the last couple of days have proven it otherwise. Massive schools of fish have been rolling into the Fraser River with the tide and they were as fresh as a salmon can get. This female pink salmon fell for my spoon this evening and without looking at it closely, one may just mistaken it as a coho or sockeye salmon.
Fishing should be good for at least another week, so be sure to get out and enjoy while it lasts.
