Tide Chart Site for Lower Fraser?
« on: June 27, 2006, 03:55:07 PM »
Was thinking of going fishing again pretty soon but I would like to know the tides this time before I go.
Does anyone know of a site that I can go to, to see what it would be for New Westminster?

Well, from where you will be fishing, you want a big tide!!  This is important, you want to fish it on the incoming tide, get there at least a couple of hrs before high tide and rip it out there like I showed you last time, from "the Corner"!!  I would say that you should find the biggest smelts you can, I know that Berry's had some Columbia river Smelt, they are pretty big and I know that they were working last weekend!!  Do you remember how I showed you to rig them on the hook?

This is the one that I always like to use:

http://www.dairiki.org/tides/monthly.php/van

It has graphs that are very easy to interpret. Add time to it depending on where you are on the Fraser River.

Not really BS but I think its basically just the same as with roe? I will figure it out. Ok will do.
Thanks Rod! Appreciate the help! Geuss I will be down there early! How many hours do you add if the difference is Vancouver to New Westminster?

If you look at the tide chart for New West, I don't think there is any time difference?  What you see is when the tide will be, but I could be wrong, Rodney?

From that tide chart, depending on how strong the tide is, I generally add an hour or so for the tides in Richmond. You probably don't need that much more for New West.
