Maybe one will bite my Maple Leaf red topped spinning glow with a 3 foot leader that will be sitting, spinning patiently and stationary in 5 feet of water. :-\ ;D

Thats what they should do, I will send a note to Deb now.

E-mail sent.
Hi Deb and Mel,
Any word from the department that the size restriction will be coming off chinooks in the non tidal section of the Fraser. Many anglers are asking this same question.
Thanks for the reply.
Chris

maybe not a fish but a hook that will bite your spinning glow

a few guides are having sockeye snag themselves on the spin n glos so Gadsen might be a partaker after all?
If they are not caught INSIDE the mouth away they will swim. ;D ;D Nice try though Cam. ;D ;D ;D

Let the madness begin.... :o :o

How is peg leg ???? not all of us have a boat .
-
pegs gonna have tons of people

Was at Peg on Saturday. Water is too high on the "walk in side". High enough that they're launching boats right at the end of the farm road where you drive in. the channels have really moved around a bunch. The good old north-south channel is now a big "S" curve. Watched the currents for a while and the new path is still doing some serious carving. Saw square meters of bar washed away over a matter of 15 minutes.
Scoped it out with the depth sounder and found some serious drop-off's out there. Gently sloping to 4 or 5 feet and then rapid drops to 10'+. The upper bar on the walk-in side extends about 40 yards further to the west now and the current has cut a new channel through the lower bar on the "boat side". Several back-eddies now. It's going to take the BB'ers some time to figure out how to fish Peg. It ain't what it was 3 years ago!
If you venture out there, be very cautious on the walk-in side - there's some drops to 5' deep just 1 step from shore. If you have to try Peg, way up top is the safest
I know sockeye can be fun but please just take your 2 and leave the space for some others. There'll still be lots of Springs after the sockeye closes.
Tight lines 2x

i tell ya i would be happy with just 2 for the year...only problem for me will be getting a spot somewhere...lol....let zee gong show beginz!!!
P.S. i skimmed alot of this post, but is there any word on how many days the sox will be open for??....
-
It's usually a couple of weeks if past years is any indication. This weekend should be good on the Vedder.
-
Does this mean we can fish for sockeye on the Vedder?
As far as I can see they are mentioning Fraser river, but on the other hand they say most areas in lower BC so I'm confused.
Anyone???

No

The price of gas is definately going to make it too expensive to drive out anywhere out past Chilliwack just for a couple of sockeye I'm sure. ;)

Heard back from Deb today, she says August 8th.
-
Any word on how long the sockeye fishery from the mission bridge up to the alexandra bridge is open for?
-
No way of knowing.

"Anglers are requested to release any hatchery marked sockeye. These fish are
hatchery raised sockeye and part of a recovery program designed to increase the
numbers of Cultus Lake sockeye."
So if you bonk a fish and then realized that the adipose fin is clipped, its not a problem right?

It is not a problem if you are worried about legality issues as this is a request, not a regulation. It is a problem for the Cultus Lake sockeye salmon population that Fisheries and Oceans Canada is attempting to protect for obvious reasons. That being said, fortunately the likelihood of encountering an adipose-clipped sockeye salmon from Cultus Lake during this time of the year is very small.

%#*()@&(_&!@%^!^&@%!%@&# kidding me?
DONT PEOPLE I.D. THEIR CATCHES ANYMORE? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Kidding you? Well IDing a fish to be a sockeye during sockeye season, bonking and then noticing the lack of adipose is what i was getting at. the adipose isnt required to my knowledge to id a fish and besides the point it was a hypothetical situation. thanks Rod for answering the question.

FN0536
"Recreational:
Recreational fisheries for Fraser River sockeye retention in South Coast marine
waters (see FN0529) and the Fraser River (see FN0528) will close effective
21:00 hours Wednesday July 30."

According to the CBC the FN were upset sport fishers were on the river. Link (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2008/07/29/bc-salmon-fraser-river.html#socialcomments)
Time to invoke the notwithstanding clause and override the Sparrow and other racist decisions.
-
You would think by that article ( CBC) that sportfishers were catching food out of starving natives mouths. ;D
