Went to Fraser on the morning tide with a buddy. Lots of rollers, every one was into fish. Fast and furious action for about 2 hrs.

Where abouts were you fishing? Not asking for any specific location, just a general vicinity. I'm curious given the almost total lack of fish caught around No. 3 Rd. over the last 5 days. :'( Thanks in advance.

If it wasn't crazy full of fishermen i would tell you. Lets just say non-tidal. I know its not much of a help but on the bright side its only going to get better. Best of luck.

My friend and I noticed that spinners out-fished spoons by a huge margin.

Glad to see you fishing selectively I have done well with pinks, using a colorado blade fishing under a float.

shhhhhhh
The spoon guys like to cast FAR and reel FAST for pinks.....and get out fished by the spinner guys, handily.

"Non-tidal" is enough info for what I was wondering. LOL....yea, 1 fish in 5 outings, out of 24M fish...I do hope it will get better. I also agree with the other posts about using spinners. In the last 2 pink runs I had a lot of success with a sizes 3/4, pink (orange also worked) Blue fox, no weight....also with a slow retrieve.

Just try Dick Nite under float and you will change your mind ;)

...and flies outfish everything else... ;). Seriously, I can catch pinks at will with a fly rod in hand. But when I try picking up a spinning rod to cast spoons/spinners, I can't touch a fish to save my life!!! What's up with that??? :'(

I'm surprised nobody is mentioning jigs. It's been my first time fishing pinks with jigs and so far I've slayed them while everyone else tossing spoons/spinners aren't having any luck.

Quite true. I consider myself a very competent spoon fisherman and a mediocre fly fisherman. On the Squamish this season, with a good fly set up, it was pretty much one cast one hookup for me (all in the mouth and almost no flossing), whereas, with a spoon it was difficult to replicate that kind of consistent hook ups.

Even roe, when there isn't a bait ban? :D

I think if there is no need for distance casting or sinking the lure, then the smaller, the lighter (meaning the more action), the slower the presentation, the more hookups. Hence flies and Dick Nite and small jigs work better than the bigger lures.

How are you fishing the jigs? under a float?

I prefer twitching (casting out and twitching upon retrieving), other like to fish them under floats. Both methods have produced for me so far.

Ill agree about lack of hook ups at No 3 Rd....fished there yesterday and today from 06:00-07:30 and only saw 2 fish caught.

I 've been fishing jigs in the upper fraser and love it . I get a good drift in the slack waters . I havent mentioned it because if I loose one I have a good chance to pick up another one before they sell them out . Now that the cats out of the bag I'll go get me some more me thinks ;)

Pictures don't mean a whole heck of a lot. I could put in pictures from last year and claim I had a fabulous outing - not that I ever would of course ;)

Yes. In my experience, pinks do not take roe very well. Coho and springs (esp. jacks) are roe pigs. But not pinks.

Funny u should say that. I was actually going to try some tommorrow. Used to use jigs for Bass and Walleye in Ontario and with the right twitch they worked awesome. I use them quite regularly under a float for steelhead, coho and chum.

Jigs in the salt are deadly....Bent Rods heads with a pink twister tail with flash and it's game on.

So, you jig people: how far down do you hang your jig from your float? Thanks.

A secret blade fished with a Maple Leaf Clear Drift. I even posted a picture what to use. ;D ;D
