Title: Sapperton Landing
Post by: Chuck on July 24, 2013, 11:35:32 AM: Threw a line in for an hour before work this morning. No action for me, but it was more of a recon mission really to check the spot out. There were quite a few fish surfacing, some making quite a splash. What species do you guys think they would be? The guy at my fish store said a few Pinks were already in the Fraser, but it seems a little early no?

Those are probably sockeye.

Early pinks
too early by 3 weeks. Good numbers of sockeye in the river right now. The Tidal section below Mission is also closed to all salmon fishing until July 27th (saturday)

Early pinks

I don't think so, but if they are jumping in the middle of the river they are sockeye. If they are jumping close to shore they are pinks.
Although there should be no pinks in the Fraser now. Also numbers. If there is lot of fish jumping it's either sockeye or pinks.
If it's few might be coho, Chinook, chum.

Pinks don't really jump but "fin" on the surface.

I always get excited early in the season scouting for pinks when I see jumping fish.

But it is always Sockeye jumping in the middle of the river.

Time .
Quite a bit different than two years ago .
