A week ago 3 oz was too heavy. I would doubt that they are using 5 now.

Does that Pegleg sand add to the flavor of the fish?
-

are they all scared to touch their fish or something?? :-\
and then to top it all off you have all these little kids standing there watching....yay dad! ::)

If anyone needs any tips on casting watch the first 10 seconds of the second video. The trick is to throw your leg back and lean forward as you cast. ;D

we were at the peg yesterday and except for two guys in the area we were in, everyone was really good with each other, helping with nets and tips. it was a good day for us and everyone else all around.

Strobes...were you wearing a long sleeve blue shirt and waders? I think i was fishing pretty close to you?

Raining pretty hard out in Chilliwack today. For those thinking of heading out to Peg Leg, that little road is going to get slick and make it harder getting up that little hill. And the soil and sand will get nice and soft in that area too. So unless you have a good 4x4 or AWD vehicle crossing the channel would be dicey. On the other hand if a tow truck had to be called out, those sockeye a person caught would become a heck of a lot more expensive. ;)
Also if fishing off the rip rap on the banks of the Fraser, be careful as those rocks get dangerously slick when wet.

fished the peg this morning, saw one 2 wheel drive car not make the crossing. other than that the rain seemed to really thin the crowd and you were able to fish with 15 to 20 feet to the next guy. turn over was very fast, and most people had their two and left fairly quick.

fished peg leg about a week and a half ago thank god we were on a boat those crowds of guys that dont know what they are doing can turn into a real scene especially if they pull up beside you . I am going to be wandering away from the beaten path up the vedder most likely but i dont thing i am going to be doing much more bar fishing. Sure hope the rain fills up the cap so i dont have to travel so far though.
:o

Is Peg wadable now opn foot? How deep? Can sedans on front wheel drive make it through? I know a earlier post says a 2 wheeler not making it, but is it an exception (like it may be crossing at the wrong spot)? I am thinking to bring my front-wheel drive Camry there. Not sure if I can cross it with that.
-
My advice to you would be to park up alongside the road leading in to Peg Leg. Walk down and check out the channel. If it appears to be all chewed up from vehicle traffic wet wade across the channel. Doing hundreds if not possibly thousands of dollars damage to a front wheel drive car for two fish, IMO makes no sense.

If you pick your spot to cross you should be OK. On the other hand we should not be driving across a wetted area because of possible damage to smolts etc. but I was yesterday too as I had no wading boots and wanted to film the show but that is no excuse and I should have waited for another day to film. :o ??? ::) :-[

Seen it worse than that out there... Haven't fished for river socks in awhile, but don't know if I could do it again. Those long rods and lines and weights scare me, need my eyes. Scares me to see all the kids so close to the action out there, especially barefoot...
Maybe they should ban vehicles past the creek... ???
-
I found the video a bit boring...one must go there to really experience the carnage to get a feel of what is going on there...i just dont understand how people can partake in the madness. I have never seen things so bad anywhere i have ever fished in North America. What a embarrisment. ???

That's normal for Peg Leg during sockeye and pink seasons.

I dropped by today to have a look and yes, you really have to be there to see the immense scope of it. Video or photo cannot do it justice. It was actually fun to watch. Despite the craziness of it all everyone got along just fine and were having good time catching fish. Kinda reminded me of a busy ant colony in action.

Good points!
These folks are here because this is the most accessible spot for them to catch a sockeye or 2. They are making the best of the situation and I agree that it's fun to watch it. There is a vibrancy that this great run of sockeye has brought to the river and the community as well. We should appreciate it rather than complaining about it or belittling the people participating in it..
