Spent the afternoon fishing the flood up at the head of the arm and along the east side of Crocker yesterday. Not even a sniff. Didn't see a single riser and even the seals seemed to be somewhere else. Asked a coupe of other guys up there if they'd had any luck but nope..not a thing.
Also dropped the prawn trap but got skunked again.(anyone want to share any secrets on where/how to catch prawns up the arm?).
Oh well, the boys got some good casting practice and it was a nice afternoon to be out in the boat.
Oh...there are two clubs in boating. Those that have forgot to put the plug in the boat and those that will. I joined the other club yesterday :)
DOH!

Hi Nikko,
Did you catch any crabs? Planning to visit Belcarra next week.
-
No, no crabs. But I wasn't fishing for them either. I'm just bgining to try and figure out these prawn things :)
There are crabs up the arm though. Surprisingly (to me) there's commercial guys out there daily.
(and thanks Chris :) )

Maybe all the pinks have moved into the rivers now...i hope. :(
-
Ya I have they are moved in the river really soon cuz if you find the right spot thts not to crowded than river fishing is really super duper fun. :)
-
two years ago about this time the arm was full of jumpers (pinks). This year, I've not seen one.. strange.

Ya and apperently here there deeper than usual,it wuz like tht in sooke to,no risers they were all at 60-80 ft

I have a friend who fishes indian rvier (C&R) for pinks when ever they are in...he has been dead silent which leads me to believe that are not in the river yet. And from talk on the board, thats a fair statement for the seymour too.
after seeing whats happened with run timing on the fraser, I think we should expect 3-4 week delays on the standard arrival dates on all these summer stocks.
