Always check the regs before you go fishing.  The reg state open Aug 13, 14 and 15 only.  Go to form front page of Fishing with Rod, lick on links, click on salmon supplement, go to the river you want.  Takes about 30 seconds and saves you time and money.  I print the section on the river I will be fishing and take a copy with me as at my age you can get forgetful.

Was fishing early Saturday morning at Gill Rd. Bar, not a lot fishing from shore maybe 15, heard from a senior fisherman about 65 fishing from shore at Ferry, in 2 hrs. saw only one sockeye landed and killed by one at Gill., saw risers but not many, they weren't rising at Ferry I was told, lots of boats, parking was at a minimum at Gill, left for the Vedder......Beautiful Day to be fishing

Sure but the new notice states open until further notice.

We were below Gill road for about 6 hours.  Lost one sockeye near the boat, landed a 10lb white spring, lost another spring out with the boat. Had a few other fish on for a couple of headshakes then gone. Saw 2 other sockeye landed near us,  and one jet boat  fighting a spring. Fishing was probably as expected given the high water, lack of bars to fish from, and relatively low numbers of fish - at least compared to last year.
A beautiful day weather wise and no mosquitos.

The update to the freshwater salmon supplement is delayed slightly, I am sure it will read "until further notice" soon to reflect the more recent notice FN0727.  While the supplement is an easy form to browse (easier than reading individual notices) you do not always get the most up to date information.

was at scale at 7.30 am got my 2 in 30 mins and took off,biggest crowd i have seen in 15 yrs but i avoid weekends if possible. lots of fish taken including some springs.

How is the garbage down there? May have to make a trip down to check it out, should be lots of plucks too.

[rosejeff]

Went to scale bar today, but one look from the highway and I turned around.
Found a quieter spot back down the highway, caught 1 after an hour and a half. Seemed to be slow for everyone where I was.

The sad thing was that I was already seeing line and other garbage left on the river, I picked some up but sure wish people would pick up after themselves.

[Kype]

Nothing from Harrison/Fraser junction either 

[canso]

some sport caught sockeye and a pink.
