A Few Questions:
1)Which type of spoons would one use in this location?
1a) could I troll a fly?
2) would any aditional weight be required when trolling?
3) speed at which I should be trolling?
4) does it become very crouded?
5)where does the Vedder become the fraser, where is my boundry?
Thanks for the info I am thinking that I may be heading out to give this a try soon.

"1)Which type of spoons would one use in this location? "
The biggest flashiest ones you have especially if the water is murky.
"1a) could I troll a fly?"
Sure-a rubber boot would work as well ;)
"2) would any aditional weight be required when trolling?"
Some do some don't not a lot in any case.
"3) speed at which I should be trolling?"
Slow the fish there won't chase a Spoon or Flatfish very far at all it has to be shaking in their face for them to slash at it.
"4) does it become very crowded?"
These days it's often too crowded to troll so people just throw big casting Spoons like the one below.
"5)where does the Vedder become the fraser, where is my boundary?"
You'll see a white triangle that marks the edge.

I prefer the Koho, particularly the green scale. Others speak very highly of the Croc, fire stripe hammered brass. The Kitmat's that S.S. shows produce as well. A couple of years ago a buddy and I were shorecasting in the canal. A guy was fishing with Kitimat's in between us, and while we didn't have any in our vests we stuck with other spoons. In the end he walked away with 2 beaut hatch coho and we walked away with nothing. I'm not a believer in a secret lure... but I did purchase a couple of Kitimats for my vest just in case.
Slow troll or retrieve. You want a nice seductive shake.
It came become very crowded. Some folks troll, others anchor up and cast, others get onto the shore and cast. And don't get me going about the boneheads that troll over the very water that you are anchored up and casting into.
