Funny how the reports slowed down when the fishing got good lol.
So much traffic on this site and so few reports, esp from people who have been on this board for a long time and maybe like me have learned a thing or two and met some fine people and stuff, and some interesting individuals as well ,,,,
I call out people out to come forward and report, its easy~
Anyway, Im on my last week of holidays and fishing my brains out.Hit the Stave this morning.
Water is very high, Fraser is rising and high tide in the late morning, plus this:

Lotsa water today, and explained why the river was Blowing out under the highway bridge when the tide was still coming in.
Lots of fresh fish around and the freshest chum Ive seen yet. Last week I had a few with lice on them and very colored up but better today and yesterday.

Nice fish! Wow that dam is sure gushing out lots of water.
-
Well that’s got to be the cleanest chum I’ve ever seen come out of that river. It’s like you just won the lottery. Congrats
-
I see a few like that every year there, they will take a lure and then DAMN thats a chum not a coho when you get them in lol.
-
I just realized what the background was for the coho - at first I thought it was a large trout net. That is some small jack.
Hmm... and just as I was thinking of hanging up my rod for a while. Me thinks I'll be changing my mind.
Hopefully the weekend rain will keep the crowds down.

Leadbelly you make those Lures yourself? whats ur line your running on there? im having a bit of trouble with my spin set up. think it might be my line.
-
My lure is usually a Blue fox spinner from the store or my secret weapon the LuHr Jensen Bolo spinner.
Desperately seeking more Bolos if anyone can help, Wholesale Sports let me down recently, grrrrr!!
I use a small spinning outfit with 8 or 10 lb test mainline.The cheapest Woolmart line i could find lol.
I had spooled up at the start of the season with Pline, flouro coated moss green CX 8lb test.
I had got it as a gift and was interested in trying something new, sadly it turned out to be garbage, very easily broken and no structure or memory at all like thread so it tangled easily.
Ill never buy Pline again. :P
My leader is something new to me, Sufix Elite ten lb camo. Really strong and I am having lots of success with it and am looking for more if anyone knows where I can find it.
Thanks
Ive found with spinning reels over the years if somethings not right its usually the reel not the line, unless its over spooled or twisted.
Reels are cheap, mine was twenty bucks on Ebuy and them low end Shimano reels will last at least a decade with minor servicing and the odd bail spring.
-
I have my spinning reel spooled with Sufix Siege Smoke Green 10lb. I like this stuff so far. Got it at Army and Navy. Not sure if they carry the Elite line? I've been a Triline user on my spinning reels my whole life.
