There's a bait ban in effect but seems to be a lot of guys using roe on the Cap today >:(

Did you RAPP?

1-877-952-7277 (RAPP) or #7277 on the TELUS Mobility Network.

Caught none on spinners and spoons, and saw no fish caught this morning by real fisherman.  Saw half a dozen coho snagged in the back and kept by the white trash, snagging in the rapids below dogleg.  It is always so bad there, with the 8ft distance between float and hook when the water is only 1-2 feet deep, and with the huge peace of lead 4 inches from the "veiled" hook.

Yes, I just did.  The unfortunate thing is I only see fisheries patrollers there a couple times per year.

they will come if you call while the poachers are present, that is my experience in Ontario
usually my buddy and i take pictures or videos as extra proof for when the CO shows
but sometimes people become quite confrontational when they see you taking pics of them

I presume like anything in life the squeaky wheel gets the oil.  So if they get enough calls from a particular river or location, they will be more likely to come out.

OK sorry for derail, now back to regular fishing ....

UGH, been waiting for months for the river to rise, and probably missed the best fishing day of the year due to work.

Stupid responsibility, I hate it.

Fly fishing was awesome around noon , easy coho limit on my special fly  8) then left  ;)

I have never seen so many fish pushing in at one time, but then again it  was expected cause the heavy rain raised the water decent. 8)

Relax G-Ratt, what you may not be aware of is that Hotrod fishes exclusive water in which a newbie would even look like a seasoned Vet!

I dunno man. With like 20 to 30 guys ripping big treble hooks through the water. It's surprising the fish would bite anything down there.
