I've been reading report after report from guys on this site living by and fishing the Tidal Fraser for Sockeye and Pinks.....and after reading them...I am reminded how much I enjoy living in Chilliwack.
The lower Fraser day after day is the most unreliable spotty flow I could imagine fishing if I was looking for dinner.

I've been catching chrome pinks regularily as far upstream as Hope since Aug 19th while the majority of the guys here fishing the lower river are getting skunked. Sometimes 5 or more pinks in an hour....plus some sockeye to boot.
Any day now that will change to 40-60 fish days....with multiple hook ups on the fly rod to boot.

Anyways....not to rub it in, but I feel for you poor saps who live in Vancouver and only option after work is to fish the Tidal Fraser. There are a 1000 other reasons why I'd never live in the city as well...but I'll save those for another topic...as for today.....the crappy fishing you guys have in comparison to 60 minutes upstream says all that needs to be said.

fishing isn't a competition its a past time and a great hobby whos cares if you catch fish just being out and enjoying fishing is all i need and if i catch something thats a bonus

[Copper Koski]

Well, its a good thing there is more than just salmon swimming in the lower Fraser. If your just looking for some C @ R, dino fishing is pretty good right now. I do however find myself spending far too much money in gas, for my weekend fishing commute to the valley.

Nothing in Richmond, everybody go to Chilliwack this long weekend please.

[BigFisher]

Ill rub it in too, Chilliwack rocks and I always wounder why the hell anyone would live anywhere else. 

[cutthroat22]

I don't recall pinks and sockeye on the pro's/con's list when the wife and I were looking for a place to live.

[tworivers]

"plus some sockeye to boot".... so you're that guy

[Fisherama]

Ill rub it in too, Chilliwack rocks and I always wounder why the hell anyone would live anywhere else. 

Because there's more to life than fishing... apparently... or so I've been told

[NiceFish]

I do not know what you are talking about, I haven't been to the whack since the spring, and I got about a dozen chrome pinks to smoke this weekend!

And a whack of roe to start off the coho season....!

[nickredway]

Hey Robert, how many Coho have you got so far this year  ?

[canso]

I'm having stellar year for Springs out front.
I will enjoy my ocean view, while you breath smog.
oh and fish bite the hook in the tidal area.

[nickredway]

With Chilliwack's beautiful downtown core and great fishing I'm surprised everyone doesn't want to move there.

[dennyman]

Hey now, what's wrong with Smellywhack....

[island boy]

everyone bashes the Wack but once the fall and winter comes it seems like it's the place to be. makes me laugh every year.

[Nitroholic]

Sure is nice getting sox to bite out here, especially 4 at a time
