gonna try garry point later on from shore, hopefully theres some staging fish
do i bring the waders or leave em at home?
-
Bring them, you can always store them in your car if you don't need them.
-
Wait a week.
-
Think it would be wise to cast from the shore rather than go stand into 3 ft of water as Garry Point Park shores can frequently have big wake from passing marine tugs ships pilot boat on & on.
People fishing from the rocks start climbing when large wake waves hit the shore.
-
flip flops and sunglasses is all that's needed.

Consider shorts also.

Don't wear shorts if you decide to wade in the water.

Is it possible (with a reasonable chance of success) to catch Sockeye on a fly rod from this location, or do most angles use spoons/spinners?

^^^ makes a very good point. If you're wading keep a watchful eye out.

Is it possible to get sockeye to bite out at Garry Point?

Green wool.

Trollolol.
But, I would also like to know. I live a 2 minute walk from GP and have just gotten back into fishing.
-
If I was going to give it a go, I would try something shiny followed by a pink and glow squirt. Like use a kroc as a flasher and run a 'dropper' to the squirt or mac's chacha etc.
Or float fishing some krill.
I haven't heard of anyone having success.

Hey Rod; you have obviously spent one or two hours at this location, :) have you tried or seen anyone have any luck fly fishing for socks at this location?
-
Again, if the guides can't figure it out and they stand to make a lot of money doing it...it gives me pause.
-
Folks have been trying in the Steveston area for about 100 years, so far without any success. Gill nets work.
-
I have lived near GP my entire life and have never seen one caught legit.
-
I've caught a few on spoons, a couple of other colleagues have caught a few on flies and spinners.
-
Heavy buzz bombs and trolling jigs may better your odds to get it out fad and get it deep to where the fish may be.
-
Thank you Rod.

I know the pink runs are on the odd years, but are there still enough on the even years that they're worth fishing for at garry point?

No.
