On the advice of Fish Assassin I decided to check out the Seymour river for Pinks. I knew it was still a while early, but there has to be a first fish, I'd never been there, and it it was a hot sunny day. What other reasons do I need?
Well, there does have to be a first fish, but it was not that day. I arrived a 16:30hrs and planned to stay late for the high water. I was the only angler there. When I got there it was salad city. Every cast was covered in algae. So I sat, had a few smokes, a sandwich and some cucumber waiting for the water to clear up. After the water did clear up it didn't make any difference.
No fish, period. I saw one fish jump, but that could have been anything. I lost a brand new Zzinger on the first cast and a small pink croc some time later. It is a very unforgiving bottom there :'(
So, in conclusion: the pinks are not in yet. But on the upside, I had some nice weather, good sandwiches, got to go to a new place, and made it home in time for Jeopardy. Should have brought more lemonaide though, it was HOT!
Later folks, keep waiting.

I am working on the dollorton bridge and have yet to see any movement in the river. The water is gin clear so I am waiting for the first ones to start showing.

I was there yesterday and only saw three hungry seals cruising around looking for dinner. Still a bit early yet but anyday now !
-
i am also keeping watch around nordel river road area for the pinks on the low tide. nothing just seals and some herons. still early but then again its not a typical fishing season so far.

pinks aren't due till mid august in the fraser as per a normal season. the seals are munchin on springs and sockeye.

The seals are going to starve to death if they're hoping for a sockeye feast at the Seymour. ;D
