Title: Log Islands on the North Arm Fraser River
Post by: fic on July 20, 2011, 11:26:34 AM: Does anyone know how those big piles of logs floating in the North Arm affect the Pink Salmon migration? Is it a disadvantage if there's too many logs piles around where you are fishing?

Pinks do go through there, usually in the second half of the run (mid September).

Thanks for the info Rodney. Can't wait until the Pink Season starts!

I live 5min from the dyke.

Yeas but I wish it wasn't half a tank of gas from where I live to the Chilliwack area (both ways) though.... or a 5am wake-up to get there by abit after 615am.

I want this year to the first that I can nab a coho in lower Fraser. I have never been able to do it!
