Apparently some people aren't in to the whole giving a straight answer thing. Don't believe me, then believe Freds. http://www.freds-bc.com/fishing_seasons.htm

Those charts are just a general guide and is not much indication on when the fishing is HOT.  However they do indicate when fish are generally supposed to be in the system.

Have heard that nobody should go into the canyon by themselves. Always go with a buddy.

Big Guy, there sure will be fish around. The Vedder should fish well for another two weeks, I hope at least... I have gotten fresh coho around the first and second week of November in the past. As most posters already mentioned, the north Fraser tributaries should also fish will for coho and chum. If you are really keen, you may want to venture out to Lower Squamish River for some ocean fresh chum salmon (most will be coloured, but you may hit the odd ones that are chrome).

Excited? :)

Big guy: it's as Rod said.  Fishing should be decent for at least a couple of weeks.  Also, you could try out by Nicomen and Norrish creek.  Seems to me they have late runs that go up to the end of November.  At Nicomen, you'll have to either barfish or cast spoons.  Or, you could wait a couple of weeks after that and try to target some early steelies.

Ummm Fulcrum.... it was true. Last year during the floods there were floods of coho. You had no luck!???

I'll be sure to read your obituary when you get washed away and die with two fish in your hand... :-\
Thanks for being optomistic and letting me have 2 fish (Coho).  I've been going to the same spot for about 15 years.  NEVER ALONE.  Yes, there is risk.  However, trust me when I say that all precautions are taken.  We always take 2x 100' Ropes.  I have one and my buddy has one.  They are secured and we use them only as precaution.  Both hands are free on the decent as well as the climb up.  I have seen guys going to places that I would not even consider.  Yes, there is some danger attached to it, but no more than fishing the vedder in knee deep water or plying the fraser with all those submerged nets.  I appreciate your concern, and I would not presure you to do something your not comfortable with.  I'll have a good day and hopefully bring home 2 Coho.  You have a good day too.  I'll try and take some pics of the adventure (not enough to identify the spot however). ;)  EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

The Coho are the bonus.  I've only been out once this month and no Coho either.  Just 2 lousy chrome Chum.  I have a report from a close freind that the Chehalis is awsome right now.
