Its worse than just not knowing when the bait ban is on. Two of them thought it was illegal to have two hooks on my bar rig on the tidal Fraser... And another time on a city tiver they asked me if I had caught any fish, i told them no, then thdy asked if I was sure that I hadnt caught or kept any fish, i told them I was sure. Why not just check my stuff though? They never bothered. Im sure they have a lot on their plates so i do understand. But its kinda scary

What a joke... I like to watch Wild Justice on national geographic to witness real conservation efforts. Not only is our DFO underfunded (dont vote conservative), but that is a perfect example of how even the limited resources we do have aren't being used effectively. We need our federal agencies to work together more also.

Was at Stapleton Landing this afternoon..fished from 2 hours before slack to 2 hours after. Nothing but 4 prickly sculpins (and some other small bites).  Spoons didn't yield anything either. Visibility was around 1.5 to 2 feet. This trip was my first time on the tidal Fraser so I'm slightly happy that I still managed to land something!

It's starting to pick up, caught 2 adults and saw fish caught down the bar today.

Four hours this afternoon, eleven people, 3 used lures and eight used roe, no fish, not even a bite.

I checked the water out today, and there was only 6-8" of visibility at low tide.

[leadbelly]

overnight on the weekend vis went down quite a bit
saw a few fish here n there mid river Fraser tidal

[Aurora]

I've been out a few times and only had a quick nibble by something small.  I'll bet Rod posted that video to suck me into fishing Fraser thus giving him more room on the chedder.

It overwrites the other bait ban regs.

Thanks for the timely clarification Rodney.  Delayed report, but fished Glen Valley Thursday and Friday.  Thursday night fished Duncan Bar near high tide 1730-1930, no action on bait and the locals said it was very slow there, lots of risers and some jumpers though, including a few sturgeon jumps across the river.  Friday morning fished Poplar Bar low tide 0700-1000, chucked spoons and lost a fish before ID and missed the hookset on a nice hit, not many surface signs but two locals reported success on Tuesdays low tide with two coho landed each.

Was out at Brownsville Bar earlier today from 11:00 am-6 pm from low slack through flood tide. Lots of small nibbles from bait stealers but no sizable bites. It was crowded when I arrived there so most of the good spots were taken. Most of the action was at low tide- saw quite a number of coho jacks landed. Activity slowed down after 1 or so although there were a couple of good-sized coho landed in the afternoon.

Fished incoming tide in the Langley/Abby/Mission area for the past week, and found it to be quite slow, if not dead.
Hopefully picks up soon...

fish lower fraser just before high tide for 2 hours. one good hit and a coho jack. water vis was good. few rollers. gonna try again tomorrow.

Was at Brownsville again this morning- fished the outgoing tide this time. Landed (and released) a decent sized wild coho (5-6 lb est.). Action was hot during the outgoing tide with many people landing fish. Most were wild though and saw only 2 hatchery fish caught & retained.

Guilty as charged.

Looking back at my diary, this fishery (for me) doesn't really pick up until the 10th to 15th of October. It seems like I always have a few fish from these dates each year. Many years ago I used to have success in early November, but the last few years seems to see the fishing dies off around late October.

There seem to be conflicting reports on the water clarity lately. Some are reporting poor, while others are reporting good... If someone can post the clarity by numbers (1ft visibility, 2ft...), that'd be very helpful.

[minnie-me]

Yesterday evening around Langley it was about 1 foot, maybe a hair more...that was it.

[TimL]

Definitely less than a foot (8 inches?) out at Brownsville.
