Title: Herring at Stanley Park
Post by: fishyfish on August 26, 2007, 10:20:01 PM

Went to Stanley Park tonight targeting smelts but much to my surprise was flooded with herring  instead. In over 10 years of fishing for smelts I have never caught so many herring at one time. Very encouraging to see such a large run of herring. Saw a few salmon jump. Would have expected more with all the herring around. Also could have been there but not surfacing.

SKUNKED today at Jerico.  An older gentleman got 2.  That's it between 7 guys netting.
