Title: Lower Pitt River
Post by: fishfulangler on October 26, 2013, 06:12:07 PM
I need some tips for fishing the Pitt river, like where to fish (only from shore), and what type of spoons. Just targeting  fish that are good to eat.

Not much retention allowed on the lower river and few hatchery coho or cuttys any way.
The Fraser would be better, try Gibbs coho spoons or crocks, from shore, lots of places near there like Maquabeak park beside the Port Man bridge etc.

2 hatchery marked trout and char per day can be kept, but don't go by anyone's words when it comes to regulations, including mine.

Read the regulations in the following links thoroughly, as I have already pointed out when you asked about where you can fish on the Coquitlam River.

This thread is the poster thread of what's wrong with people and fishing!! Complete ignorance! The resources are available to everyone and with the technology of today their are no excuses for not following the regulations. Their are apps as well as a website.

Are we really to believe that the OP was talking about trout to start with? Who goes to the Pitt to kill trout? Just go to any put and take lake and go kill some hatchery fish. Your chances are MUCH better on a lake. Go to Lafarge

Haha, you are one funny little fella, yapping away like your some sort of know-it-all. I'm going to the pitt because I want to catch some bigger game fish unlike the half a pound ones at lafarge.

But put in your own work to find how to fish and where like we all do.

You previously said you want to eat the fish. Can't do that there.

Wouldn't it be easier to just quickly answer his question rather than getting all high and mighty and attacking him?

Some people (especially newer anglers) find the regulations confusing, and last time I checked this is a fishing forum where questions are encouraged.

Little fella? LMAO that's a good one

Has nothing to do with being a know it all. It has to do with reading regulations newbie or not. Some say they are confusing but they are not. Especially this systems regulations. Any new water I try out I read the regs before venturing out

I havent looked at the regs. recently.
Didn't realise the Lower Pitt was now a sanctuary for fish.
Had some good times there and caught a few hatchery Coho.
Is too bad we cant keep them now and looks like hatchery Cutthroat are closed there now too.
This is crazy if you ask me.

Well I fished it, not very impressive though. Caught a 5" coastal cutty with a spoon. Then I went bottom water fishing and I don't know what it was but it was something, was really heavy and broke my hook in half
