[Bilal_ns]

Hello every body,
Hope you all are having and amazing and eventful weekend. My name is Bilal and this is my first ever thread on here. I just took up fishing last year and so far have always come home empty handed. Kind of becoming the laughing stock of the house lol. I would really love some tips to help improve my luck, I am thinking of going down to rive road in delta some where and cast a few for the Pink. I would be extremely great full for any tips you could give me. i am really loving the sport so far but really getting bumbed that i have never come home with any thing.

Go down to deas island ,walk the trail until you find some calmer water,rig up your lure and cast and some more sooner or later you will get a pink:)

[Bilal_ns]

Thank you for you tip, i really appreciate it.

get out and fish. switch up your retrieve. let it sink for three seconds the first cast. then four second. so on and so on before you know it wham fish on. the biggest tip i can give you is the search function on this forum.it is an epic learning tool...

best tip is patience and trial and error get out there and just get the line wet when u get a chance watch other fisherman to see what kinda techniques there using and ask for help on the river when u can there's good people out there willing to help best bet is persistence never give up u never know what could take your hook good luck out there buddy

im new at this too but i use google maps and i go all over ive been to probly 20 spots from alex fraser to mouth its really fun exploring too i go to some spots and the fish are rolling like mad and not a soul there ive kinda learnt if you can park and fish withit 5 feet of your vehicle its packed not my style

I think you will find some sucess in the coming weeks. There are millions of pinks starting to move into the fraser. Try and time it with the tides, incoming and slack tides are best. If the pinls are around you will most likely see them finning and jumping on the surface.

be persistent and keep trying.  this is exactly the time you will find your confidence and success for catching one.
just keep watching other fishermen and try to follow what they are doing.  don't be shy.  go ask question.  the majority out there are very open and friendly people.

I second what joska said. Switch up your retrieve. Bring along a selection of "go to" Pink lures. Patience and persistence will pay off. Don't be afraid of asking nearby successful anglers for a few tips. Have fun.

new to fishing guy. might help if you posted up what you have been doing so far to fail at bringing home the catch. then some may be able to correct the set up or give advice. if its pinks then dont be discouraged. its ealry yet. they just left the mouth over the past 2 days and are now on their way...its on any time now. we released a pile at scale bar way up at hope on sunday and monday

switch up your retrieve. let it sink for three seconds the first cast. then four second. so on and so on before you know it wham fish on.

This cant be repeated often enough. Experiment with depths and especially retrieval speeds until you find the 'zone'. If you see someone that seems to be into more fish than other people, watch them carefully to see what they are doing different. All casts are not created equal. What may work with a 3/8 oz spoon may not be appropriate for a 1/4 oz spinner.

Pinks may be aggressive, but with this poor water clarity, presentation will still make a big difference. I spent a fair bit of time out there this weekend and you could clearly tell the difference of those who had their technique dialed in compared to those who weren't paying attention to the small details.

good luck
