There were tons out on the south arm at around 5pm today... looked almost like a giant school of pinks passing through.

Was out near Hope yesterday morning on Snaggy Bar... caught two chromies within 15 minutes.  Good thing there was a family next to me that I could help out by passing along my rod as I didn't want to head back to Maple Ridge after only 15 minutes of fishing.

Morning ended well after handing off the rod 5 times by hooking onto and landing a 22+ pound spring.  ;D

There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot

Won't it be nice with such a huge run of sockeyes that DFO will up the daily limit to 4 like the salt water. Don't cream me for making such suggestion. It is just a thought. It is actually logical. There are enough fish for people to catch, why make them travel many more times costing much money in gas? It is good for the environment too with less trips needed to catch what a fisherman will need to catch. If I want only 16 sockeyes and can get it done in 4 trips, why take 8 trips to get it. It is not unreasonable considering those fishing the salt already have this daily limit. Let's be fair. Just to think of it,  a tidal license cost a lot less than non-tidal too.  ;D

In all respect, one should not brag about taking a fish that has not bit your offering. ::)
