When do the pinks usually start showing up in the Harrison? I haven't seen any reports yet
but someone did mention pinks showing in the Fraser and so I wondered when they might
arrive in the Harrison.

probably already starting to show up in sparse numbers, but they should be there in decent numbers by mid next week. Went to the fraser near island 22 and there's a few rolling about in the area, and I got a few as by catch on my 4wt while targeting pike minnow while i went down for a look since i was bored, but just broke them off so I wouldn't snap my rod and so that I didn't catch flack for targeting salmon from the CO that was watching over me.

Test fisheries have still taken very very pinks in the Fraser as yet. Most of the fishery at the mouth of the Harrison that takes place next month are for Fraser River pinks that move into the lower 1 mile of the river or less. The big run of pinks into the Harrison takes place a few weeks later. It comes mostly in one big push sometime from the last half of Sept to Thanskgiving. By this I don't mean the entire time is good, the main run may be limited to just a few days.

Took my kids up for the day and found pinks to be still few and far between. Heard of the odd one at the mouth but all we could manage was a few pike minnow to keep the kids happy, until I got this sockeye on the fly.(http://teacherweb.com/BC/HDStaffordMiddleSchool/Sandquist/IMG_0903.jpg)
