Went out today for just a quick fly fishing trip to scout out some water.
Landed 35 trout in total (7 wild, 28 hatchery) all on dry flies.
Saw a 2 pound dolly killed and walked back to the parking lot... didn't have my cell phone with me :'(
Heard of a few rolling down towards Lickman Road, didnt hear of any caught. Shouldn't be too long now. ;D

Upper or lower ??

Hey Everyday,
If you look at the Chilliwach Hatchery production you'll notice that the Chilliwack Hatchery DOES NOT produce any clipped trout.
(see http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=21106.0 )
Unless another organization is stocking trout in that system, I'm thinking you and others are catching young Steelhead or other salmonids. I believe that too many sumertime fishermen aren't aware of their fish identification and many Steelhead and salmons are killed as trout before they ever get to the ocean. I'm not accusing you here.
As I mentioned last fall, there appears to be a need to a volunteer river watch group to help: educate newer fishers, and protect the resource.

I really think 99% of the anglers in here could not tell the difference between a "smolt" or a "trout"......
-
Morty, I KNOW they are steelhead smolts.....
I never kill anything anyways ::)
There is a 4 fish limit on the hatchery clipped "trout" (steelhead smolts) so no need to have a river watchers program.
If there is a limit for them, then obviously the hatchery thinks that enough have made it out to the ocean.
Technically, a Steelhead smolt is a rainbow trout..... thats all a Steelhead is, a sea run rainbow TROUT.

No wonder the Steelhead runs are in such poor shape.
Too bad they allow this fishery but when they allow the snagging of Chinook in the Fraser like they do,nothing surprises me anymore.
This sport is getting frickin ridiculous.

Amen :-\
-
the biggest threat to steelhead is not smolt capture by anglers .....but ocean survival, and water in the natal streams (there is less and less rearing habitat).
-
The fishery is allowed after July 1st is simply because these hatchery released fish is most likely not going to return to ocean any more and they will become resident and compete with wild fish.
This has been discussed so many times before I wonder why some people kept on bringing it up.
-
I imagine that things keep coming up because, for several reasons, not everyone reads everything.
( there is a VIEWS count available for each thread and there are 3300+ members. So, unless a thread has at least 3300 reads it's likely that some might not know yet)

Was this a comment on the topic or just another negative comment on a perfectly legal technique to put fish on your barbecue?

Keep these fishing reports as fishing reports please.
