"casting a small Corky on a very long leader into the beautiful blue Fraser River."

Beautiful blue?  What part of the fraser was he fishing on?

Interesting article, some one should write a letter to that paper saying that it is not true!  He made a mistake and they were pinks he was catching! ;)

"Occasionally, when you set the hook, you will be into another type of fish. I ended up catching a four-foot sturgeon on the first afternoon, thinking I had a world-record sockeye or a very large chinook on the end of my line. And there are enough chinook swimming upstream that it is fairly common to hook one of them, too. In fact, we caught three "springs" (as the Canadians call them, eh!) in two days of fishing to go along with our limit of sockeye, which is two per angler per day."

Actually the river is quite clear these days with visibility close to 3 feet I am told. I guess you could call it blue like Canada's number 1 hockey team. ;D ;D ;D
