Title: Quickest catch!?!
Post by: FishingCrow on September 06, 2006, 11:19:15 PM
I went to the Fraser at Sept. 04th. 2hrs driving from UBC. I found the bar was crowded. Anyway I managed a place. I hooked and landed 2 sockeye in second and third cast. So just within 10 minutes I have done. Do anybody faced this kind of luck(or bad luck…)?

You will be FishingCow, if you think that you can catch every fish like that all day. Beginners luck, try it at another spot, somewhere, someday, other species with no one around. Post the pics too. :)

Actually this year of sockeye was unbelievable, I came across this awsome holding water, the fish seemed to stack instead of moving through. I didnt find this spot till a week before closing, but let me tel lyou it was amazing! I was averaging a sockeye every 5 casts. I went there 3 times, and i got 2 in 5 casts the first outing. The second outing I hooked 4 in 10 minutes, and also had hooked 4 fish in 4 consequtive casts, which I can still not believe! :o It was an amazing year! I havent seen a year of sockeye like this in the last 7 years! I went out about 12 times, and limited out every trip except for 1.

Its nice when you can get multiple hook-ups on each drift, only problem is that you've lost the 1st one before hooking the 2nd  ;D

Here is a good one for you guys… I was fishing at Jones Rd. there were a lot of people. Someone had a fish, but broke the main line right where it attaches to the weight. I hooked into a fish, and somehow, the fish got tangled in that other leader. It was a good laugh when I pulled two up on the beach with one cast. Now that is a quick day!!!  ;D

I had a 5 casts 5 fish day (landed two) yesterday. The last day of sockeye is still so hot. Why are they closing it? If they close it for conservation purpose, why all those boats above Port Mann Bridge today??? No that I need more opening, just curious what kind of reasoning DFO has to manage fish opening in such way? ???

Sockeye Closed Yesterday so if you want to fish the fraser i believe it is still open for springs. Stick to barfishing.

Fishingmansam, have another look at the map. Scale bar is almost at Hope, That is closed. Same with Seabird, Laidlaw, Herrling, Rosedale. The boundary is just a litte bit upstream of Pegleg (e.g. Jesperson landing).
