Title: Good uncrowded spots for other than Pinks
Post by: Yofishon on October 12, 2007, 02:32:11 AM

 
 
              I am a relative novice , on the Chiliwack , but have caught some big spring and a ho or two, in the lower river commercial spots, in the past.
 
             I had a nice day in Yarrow  on Monday , with constant action on Pinks, which was a good start to my year. I tried mid river on the other side of the first bridge by the campground (, by local advice) , 1st thing in the am , but wall to wall guys , and very slow. I suspect that some of the really cool spots are a bit up river , and I don't mind putting in the time for river knowledge, but time and condition , allows me to blast to the Wack , only so often.
 
           I don't expect a plethora of replies , but can anyone direct me to a good area to hike around in , distance isn't a problem , in order to try and bring something home , for dinner ,  Indian Candy etc. I am a ethical fisher, but fish hard when I get goin'-I love beautiful wide open spots , with lots of room for wading and landing.

good luck.  I guess your best bet would be to just go walking.  The harder you have to work to get there, the fewer people there will be.  Don't take chances wading however, it's not worth it.  Word has it, the flow is rather fast and a little high.

I agree with Bentrods advice, just go walking is best.

Its easier to walk the lower due to the dyke trail and flatter ground. Harder at the upper as fewer good trails. Its crowded everwhere.  In general, it doesn't matter where you start, if you go for a walk you will find some decent water with room to fish.

Frankly, any response here could jeperdise what you are looking for!  If I said park here blah blah blah...look at the little box in the upper right hand corner...2150 members!!!  You know what would happen.

My best advice...look for a spot where no one has parked and explore.  Or go the opposite direction of the crowd.   My favorite fishing spots have been found that way!
