Title: Seals in the Fraser
Post by: CohoJake on August 29, 2011, 09:00:12 PM: Do the seals not bother coming up the river when it is so high and turbid? I haven't seen any this year. Though I did see a beaver :P.

Good question. I have not seen a seal this year where I fish in Richmond and usually see them regularly.

I almost got knocked over by one while fishing a seam, he was jumping from the slack water into the current and just about clipped me. Almost peed my pants, scared the cupcakes out of me :)

Post by: greese30 on September 02, 2011, 11:20:18 AM: I've been seeing seals regularly in the Chilliwack area. Do they ever leave? Or are they pretty much resident in the the LML fraser. I also see them in Harrison Lake -- figured those ones are definitely residents. Anyone know?
