I suspect that it will remain slow for next couple of days.

we smoked em today boys...its all about timing the comercial holes and my host knew exactly where to go!  6 rods yeilded 12 socs and 1 spring, pretty much everyone on the bar we were at limited out.  I had my 2 in about 45-60 min.  Biggest was in the 9lb range. lots of net marked fish but good number of pristine ones as well.

Thanks for the outing GF...let me know next time you're out!

Just got home from evening fishing out near hope.  Me and a buddy got our 4 soxs in about 2.5 hours.  3 got away, and one we released cause we dragged it in by the tail.

A fun night!

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles

Lots of fish being caught where we were!  I guess I don't know what good or poor is but it looked pretty good to me.  Brother and I had limits by 7am.  Had several others on.   ;D

"Fishing was great today! got my limit, and hooked into 10 fish"  I hope you lost 8 fish or handed the rod off.  Catch and release on the fraser is a bad idea, once your party has their bag limit, you should pack it in.  Snagging these fish and then releasing them can not be good for their chances of making it back to their rivers to spawn which is why C&R on the fraser is B*** S***.

Anyone remember the kreel counter (is that the right term) asking you how many socs you released in a day?  DFO doesn't want to see socs being released willy nilly and I would put money on the fact that DFO factors a mortality rate into those C&R fish...guess what all you sockeye heros, that comes of the sports anglers quota and that equates to earlier closures...will people even truly get???
