I live only a few blocks up from the lower Fraser in South Vancouver, I've gone out a few times throwing spoons with no success. I haven't gone with the tides though, only when I've had an hour or two to kill...I don't really think fishing at the bottom of Kerr street to be the best spot either, probably better on the opposite along river road

My office is about a 10 minute walk away from Frasershore Park. I tried tossing spoons a few times during lunch hour and had no success either.  I also just drove by the park a few times after work and I have not seen any fish moving.  May be the South Arm is a better bet.  There is also tons of logs being dragged up and down this part of the river and being piled up against the shore. I am not sure how the fish behaves around these floating log islands.  I did talk to one guy who saw someone catch a sturgeon though.

I was down at the north arm on the Vancouver side yesterday evening and saw quite a few jumping. Most were pretty far out, but some were close enough to give you hope (within 50 feet). I tossed spoons for an hour without luck, but I think if you hit it at the right time and a bit of luck, it wouldn’t be impossible to get one…

Definitely going to try it again sometime this week.
