He everyone. I have been chasing the pink all diffrent places and so far the most efective way is BB in hope area. I tried Buzzbomb, pink spoon and many other lures in cates park and the ocean but no hit. I like the idea of the fish bite the lures rather than putting the hook in the fish mouth. Now I hear people catch Pink in Surrey and New West. Could anyone have had success with these pink in these areas give me a tip (don't have to give specific location) like what lure, flies, method and time & tide.

Please help

They are taking spoons in the Chillliwack area. Fish a bit of slow water were you see them breaking water.

I take them with a Colorado blade that I fish with a float.

Also, carry a variety of spoons, different colors,  sizes, and weights. For instance, fishing a couple of days ago, and had the same type spoon in a smaller size, and that seemed to do the trick in getting the fish to bite. If you have to add split shot, only add enough to allow you to cast your lure out there. Keep your retrieve slow and you will be rewarded.

I fly fish for them with reasonable success, bead head or slightly weighted usually pink fly six to seven ft. of leader on a dry line. The red spratley muddler looking thing in the top right hand corner was my go to fly the year before last but so far this year it's been the pinks that are working. Try anywhere a tributary enters the Fraser.

Croc spoons of any kind work for me.
I'm experimenting with a lot of them and suprisingly they all work.
The key is to find the right water.

You don't have to go that far for pink salmon if you live in or near Vancouver. In fact, it is better if you fish as close to the Fraser River mouth as possible since the fish would be the freshest from the ocean. The section between Steveston and New Westminster can be very difficult for new anglers, because there are three travelling routes (North, Middle and South Arms) for the fish before they converge into one. At any given high tide, they could be coming in through one of these entries, or all of the entries at once. Sometimes it becomes a guessing game, while other times the timing and routes can be predicted quite correctly based on successful days from past seasons.

The fish are usually coming in during the incoming tides, but during peak period of the run like now, it does not seem to matter sometimes.

For locations, there is not one best location for pink salmon. Instead, anywhere along the Fraser River will produce, just not all at the same time. Locations' producing times depend mostly on tides and time of the season.

places where you might want to try around near Vancouver.

• Garry Point Park (Richmond)
• Dyke Road between the end of Gilbert Road and No. 3 Road (Richmond)
• Dyke Road between the end of No. 4 Road and No. 5 Road (Richmond)
• River Road (Delta/Ladner)
• River Road between No. 6 Road and Westminster Hwy (Richmond)
• Sapperton Landing (New Westminster)
• Brownsville Bar (Surrey)

Any suggestions for spots for pinks in Port Coquitlam?  I've been thinking of either Maqabeak park or the mouth of the coquitlam river.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

Was at the mouth on Sunday at low tide. Was good before the low tide that day. High tide fishing as you enter the park on the right hand shore line to the power lines across the river. You also have the shore at the light up from the mouth on the by pass. There used to be parking there, haven't tried there in awhile.

Thanks troutbreath.
