Has anone ever tried back trolling for salmon in the Fraser or the Harrison?  I'd like to try this.  Plugs, or Kwik Fish.  Looks effective and fun.

[Easywater]

Should be fairly productive, I've been thinking about it myself.

Fraser's probably too dirty right now for anything other than spin&glows.
Not sure about the Harrison but it should get clearer sooner.

Thats one of the BEST ways to get into Chinook.
Back trolling a plug or Kwikfish on the Harrison or Fraser is very productive

[JAwrey]

Definitely give it a go - lots of fun, for sure!  Also, try wrapping the plugs...it will entice some of the big boys to strike HARD!

Used to troll the green line at the mouth of the Vedder to the Fraser using 3/4 oz. Coho and Ironhead spoons with some success .

  If when you say big boys you mean the C.O.s........Sardine /herring wrap is a no-go in the non-tidal.....Velcro pad and scent will have to do....

I saw some videos on youtube up in alaska the guys were using massive plugs.  Like kwik fish that were 6 inches long or bigger.  I'd like to know the best way of getting the gear down where you want it. Big bananna weight?  Dipsy diver?  I guess just getting out there and using whatever you want will work too.  No rules.  As far as the bait thing.  Non tidal, non bait.  GOod tip.  I will definitely check the regs on that one before I decide to go.

Use a 2-6oz Betty on the three way swivel (or sliding swivel setup) with 12-16" between Betty and swivel, 6' leader to a huge quick fish or 3' to spin-n-glo with roe
Let out line till you hit bottom. When you’re trolling you need to tag the bottom regularly.

So would this mean that we are allowed to use a Sardine/Herring (fin fish) wrap on our plugs in the tidal portion of the Fraser?  I've been trying to see where it says we're not allowed to use wraps on our plugs in the tidal portion but can't find an answer anywhere.  I even called the local DFO office twice this week and left 2 messages but have not gotten a call back.  Could someone please clarify if we're allowed to wrap our plugs with Sardine/Herring in the tidal portion of the Fraser?

Thanks in advance!

Nope not allowed

[Dr. Backlash]

OK thanks for the info - guess I will just have to get creative

[clarki]

Nope not allowed

Hey bb, where do you get that from? I checked the regs and couldn't find it. It's very clearly stated in the non-tidal regs for the Fraser, but can't find it in the tidal regs for the tidal portion of the river.

People use oolies and pieces of salmon for Sturgeon all the time in the Fraser.

Pretty sure it is legal in the tidal to use finfish as bait only for Sturgeon. 

But don't quote me.

Yup only for sturgeon

[Rodney]

The use of finfish as bait is not only limited to fishing for white sturgeon in the tidal portion of the Fraser River.
