Not until September. The regs state what you can and cant keep on that river.

My guess is that the run is quite small and your time would be better spent on a larger system.

I agree, I imagine the run is quite small.

This was cool, I actually saw some coho fry just a few weeks ago down at Musquem Park in Vancouver. One of the few remaining healthy streams right in the city. Very cool.

the alouette river is the same its loaded with little salmon and steelhead fry swimmin around a whole school will chase my spoon all the way to shore to bad they weren't full grown have a whole school of full grown fish chasing your lure that would be awesome.  so i guess for summer chinook the white springs i go to the vedder for those monsters and then the red chinooks in the fall ?.
