Title: Upper Fraser for Chum
Post by: Bradbeer on November 01, 2006, 05:02:57 PM: Has anyone BB’d the upper Fraser for Chum? I see the test fishery showing lots and lots of chum, and I am just wondering if it would be worth while to take the boat out and catch and release some chummers. It would beat the Stave, don’t you think?

Brad ;D

BBING SUCKS and DFO still asks for selective methods bud....so that means I can still call you up :-*

for chum on the frasermost of the time I use a float, pencill lead, and than a 3-4ft leader (12lb) and than my big jig, in purple and pink....
