I just hate those big logs - they spool ya pretty easy.

I hope I can get some bouncing in for Springs before the Sockeye start coming in.

fishforever - I think it's too early to start trolling but you never know there could be a few at the mouth of the Vedder. I'm going to do more of that this year as well.

Don't forget the old faithful Tee Spoon for trolling.

That's right. That crik is usually clean enough to draw Springs close in. I tried to bar fish there once - it was too expensive for me to fish there.

I'm going to go out for a few hours in the morning - check out as few spots and try out my new Technium rod.

I picked up the 11'er for early bouncing. I broke too many rods last year including a Trophy XL and the Red Shimano Clearwater, 2 Convergence and a Diawa Heartland. Just being a bit too agressive and careless on and around the boats.  ::)

Yeah Emory creek is a very good spot for early Chinook Salmon. It is too rocky on the bottom to bar fish, but i find if you attach a koho spoon(the medium size) and put on a dink or DNA float(whatever you would like) and cast it out into the Fraser where Emory's clear water comes in you will be successful. Especially in the high water the Fraser water will have undertow that will spin the spoon around like a hurt herring, smelt or any type of fish that will remind the salmon of its early life in the ocean. It is a great spot especially on a warm day! I suggest to try it out at least once this early spring summer!

Tight Lines to My Fellow Fishermen ;)

Interesting - I'll give it a try sometime. I love that direct hook-up without any extra weight. I've nailed a few Springs rattling large spoons off the bottom at Peg Leg and at Laidlaw in years past but I think that's virtually the same as bottom bouncing.
