Title: Tidal Fraser River, August 31st 2013
Post by: brownmancheng on August 31, 2013, 08:49:24 AM
Went out last night and this morning North Arm. Nothing either outing. Some surface action last night but dead today. Wrong tide I'm guessing.....

It's low tide this morning so it's not as good. Wait til afternoonish/evening when it's incoming tide and high tide. Also the first hour or 2 of outgoing tide this evening should be good.

2 landed, 2 lost between 9-10 am on the outgoing tide, nothing surfacing but there was a few there. Was fishing between just up from the port mann. Saw a massive Sturgeon jump, pretty impressive sight.

Just to add. Like minni-me said not many rising  ( saw maybe 2 rise ) in the two hours I fished. So dont let the lack of surface activity discourage you from making some casts

Ya, today got there a little late.. right at end of high tide in Richmond. 2 hours after being dead with no surface action, me and the kid next to me got into one within a quick period. Both lost... but ya they are still there despite no risers.. maybe just not in great numbers

Went out to Duncan Bar 6:30 - 9:00 this morning, a few risers. I landed one about 7:30 then nothing. Saw two others landed around the same time.

Got my first one on Saturday - a nice chrome buck about 5lbs.  Got him on a homemade pink spinner; lost 2 others.  Saw a number of risers; was fishing from my normal bank fishing spot.  Decided to take the boat out yesterday to try for springers (also in Tidal Fraser) and didn't even get a nibble - even after we decided to switch and started casting for Pinks.  But its early.  This is the best time of year for sure.  Going out again for the high tide at supper
