That the pinks are in thicker on a low tide rather than an high tide.

[river walker]

yes.... it's strange !  but i have found that high slack is the best!

Probably because during low tide they have less water to hide in and it's easier to find them when they are around in big numbers.
I guess high tide just brings them in since they travel upstream during high tide, but the can't hide during low tide.
I think it would be logical that they are harder to catch during high tide while they use the tide to get as much up the river as they can.
But I'm no vulcan nor an experienced river angler!

Actually during low tide you see them show themselves alot more. I have had more hookups during low tide than high tide and seen way more fish show themselves. Spoke to a few others who say the same.

[Geff_t]

yup. It was like that today. I hit more fish on the low tide then when the tide was coming in.

I've had better fishing on a low tide over a high 90% of the time, especially as you fish higher up on the Fraser. Mission up.
As other people have said maybe because they are more concentrated.
