Lower Fraser ( Brownsville Bar) Sept 2nd !
« on: September 02, 2007, 02:35:43 PM »

Went to Brownsville this am about 5:30, not a lot of action at all, in fact there were only 3 hookups all morning, between maybe 6-8 guys. I was able to nail this little male Pink, seems a little small but vey fresh! The flesh is quite orange for a pink.

Really friendly bunch of guys this morning. While I was bringing in this little guy I had a helpfull netter on each side of me! Could not miss! If your reading this, ... thanks again!

Close up is for you fellas that might want to save a few $ and make your own spinners. #4 ring (2) #3 swivels, #4 Pink Blade and #2 Siwash open-eyed Gamakatsu hook. All in maybe 85 Cents each. I will need to check to make sure of the amount invested.

I would still give it a week for good action.
CJ.

Thanks for the report CJ,I was thinking of heading there tomorrow morning to try my luck,this morning i was out a little farther up river there was some action ,i saw about 10 or so pinks hooked, some landed and some lost at around 11 AM,I lost one as well as had a few hits,its getting better for numbers of fish but give it a few more days and it should pick up.

Good pics, I like the idea of including the lure so we can see what you used. Fire up the bbq!

Click this link , Brownsville parking lot is at the bottom of Old Yale Road. ( Upper left of the window) The fishing spot is between the Skytrain and Pattulo bridge... Good luck!

I know that a bunch of people don't like to share their spots but I remember just how many people on this site have assisted me in finding fish, so I like to "give back" a little...  See you out there!

Eagleye, you can also get them at Bob's Sporting Goods on Hastings St in North Bby. Its across the street from the Starbucks / DairyQueen . They have hard to find copper blades too.

Hey I was just wondering if it gets really busy? Is the spot fly fishing friendly?
