The inlet should be full of sockeye by now.  Anybody have a report?

I've heard from a fairly reliable source that it has just started to happen. I would imagine that the Department of Fisheries will be quick to wrap them all up in seine nets to keep anglers from catching any. That has been their plan for the past 20 years or so.

I believe that the majority of this year's return will be coming down the inside.

Edit: I guess I was thinking about the Fraser returns only.
Plenty of other rivers' fish going down the outside.

That should kill the sport fishing for a week.

What I heard is that the sockeye are deep and the gillnets are not doing to well. The native fisheries in the river are doing okay. Rape and pillage by the corporate DFO is the name of the game. The people who really own the resources get what is left over

AMEN to that!!...........the fish are pretty shallow the last couple of warm days we had,15-25ft in the early morning,dropping down to 40 ft by mid morning.Very high allotments for commercial and FN this year because of the size of the projected run,so there will be openings till the quota is met.I heard rumors last Friday that the projected run is now up from 1.6 to 2.5mil ,time will tell
