grassy bar had 12 boats at it today,I saw 4 fish landed in 4 hours two fish caught by one boat I hooked into one  pulled anchor and the chase was on only to realize it was a small sturgeon got the heart going though.we took a drive by peg and the whole thing was completely flooded overit will be interesting to see if its changed at all after the water goes down.

Heading out  to the Fraser to do some barfing this weekend coming up on the Fraser . Any one know how Peg is doin for any land opportunities to fit my motorhome and launch the pleasure craft ? . I see the Rosedale area is quite small in square footage . Gill has some potential . I 'm just wondering about Peg Leg  8) . Any feedback would be much appreciated  :) .

Nothing there, water to high right at the end of the access road now. Water is receding but it will be a while yet before one can cross.Also if there is a channel shift it you may need a boat to cross to the main bar, time will tell.

I like Island 22 , however that would require pulling the boat out every evening . And then there is a 5 buck launch charge each day from what I remember there .  Pain in the patooty when your motorhome is all set up in the site . Thanks Chris  8) .

Is Grassy overrun by flossers, or can it be bar fished right now?

River is high and dirty, tough to bar fish as the chinooks can not see your glow very well. Of course you always have a chance for a fish but best to saave your brownie points when the river clears.

Besides the bugs, will if not already bad. ::)

4 boats including me all BB not 1 bar fishing, except when my arms got tired from throwing those weights, then chucked out the bar rig and had lunch.
