Fraser north arm April 16
« on: April 16, 2005, 03:09:36 PM »
 Since the sun decided to show its self today I went bar fishing for about an hour, right away I caught a couple of small bullheads, a little later I caught and released a scrappy little bull trout. Wind started to pick up and there were some dark clouds headed my way so I headed for home.

Just curious, why are bullheads in the Fraser so small ? I haven't seen any large ones, not that I really care to.

What size do you consider small? I've caught them ranging from 3 inches to a foot long.

Big T, I thank you for your concern , but I assure you no fish where harmed during the taking of that photo. There are rocks where I fish. The fish was released right quick, and no, the rocks were rather wet, I had made a little corral to land fish. As far as where? anywhere along the lower river are great for Bulls, but patience is a must.

bull heads make good crab bait. store  em up and freeze em. then hit whiterock and presto crab in the trap. most times.
