Not a whole lot to report today, a sharp contrast to yesterday's fishing result, but that's just the way it is when fishing down here.
I managed to catch a large northern pikeminnow not long after I started casting. It gave quite a strong brief run that had me thinking coho jack until I saw the scaly body.
I had another follower that was most likely a bull trout. It tapped the spinner on two different casts but could not connect.
gman joined me for a brief session, he had a few taps and managed to hook a fish briefly.
Scooterguy also joined us later on. He made a cast for his son and gave the rod to him so he could retrieve it. The end result on that first cast was a bright coho jack that we all wished to catch! His first one ever, good for him! Wild, so released after a quick photo.

Not much else happened. Saw a cutthroat trout caught. Heavy rain came occasionally. Water clarity is excellent. Today was the first day when I finally saw a large number of chum salmon moving through during the incoming tide. They were in very good shape but none were willing to bite as usual.

Well at least you are keeping a good track record. .... being a good guide. ;)

Nice report Rod, what a nice fish! Good to hear that you finally saw a decent size school of chum rolling into the Fraser - were they rolling? porpoising? jumping? or all three? I haven't targeted chum in the fraser before and was just wondering if they give themselves away? Thanks in advance!
