So Rick can actually catch a fish on the Vedder? ;)

Dawgman, the Upper Fraser SFAC, the committee that I sit on, communicates with the DFO Fraser River management closely and there have been no mentions on potential sockeye opening dates yet. Whatever you have heard out there are simply speculations. If there is an opening, the notice will be available here.

If it opens in July, it will be a waste of time. So far in 4 trips of BB, I have not witnessed one single sockeye hooked and that is the truth. Not one, and I stayed for at least 6 hours each time. That does not tell me sockeye should be opened until they are all over the place. If last year is the guide, we may have a late return again this year.

Cancelled for sockeye, only 8 inch mesh for chinook openings planned.

I would bet you that like to BB for your sockeye get your opening on the August long weekend but I was wrong last year when I said it would not open at all. ???

My guess is that if it opens, it'll be the Friday before the long weekend again.
