I might take the Kayak out around Bedford channel and do some bull trout and cutty C&R fishing.  I'll post up if I happen to release any and all incidentally caught pinks.

Dispatched a Pink doe over the weekend on the Squamish that was riddled with parasites. The fish was in bad shape with bulging eyes...Over the past few years been seeing this more and more across all species and bodies of water.

Saw that today at the squam too.  I was like WTF is that.  Like a moor goldfish's eyes

The fukushima incident's aftermath?

Very possible

I've been keeping my eye on the Fraser and it's sad to report but I've seen very little evidence that there are any pinks at all. Over the last couple days I've seen maybe 6 fish roll which doesn't give me a lot of hope considering almost 800k have passed thru mission already.

Sep 01 Whonnock 41 pinks Cottonwood 39 pinks.
Also saw quite a few rollers last night so they are definitely in.

Compare to 2015, Whonnock caught about 100 more fish this year up to date.
However, saltwter test fishery number shows not even half of the harvest in 2015.
It is wierd. Really.........

[wildmanyeah]

There wasn't a single day in 2015 where whonock was over 100 pinks, but there was still some decent days. I wouldn't expect many if any this year either.

Time to go fish the Fraser for Pinks, Its getting close to Peak run baby! (yes i know its closed), Catch is over 100!

Hi there. New to the forum.

I'd like to point out for the past two weeks I've been seeing LOTS of pinks in the Fraser river system.

I'm on the river from the Harrison down to the Sumas canal 4 days a week and have seen school after school  with the numbers climbing every day. It looks to me to be either early or better numbers than 2015 but whatever. The numbers that I am seeing are for sure early than 2015. It pains me to see all these Pinks for weeks now and not one opportunity to target them.

To see them in the Harrison this early is deffenetly an awesome sight.

If the Fraser is open, from Mission and above you should be able limit out pretty quickly. The limit in 2015 was 2 pinks so it should be similar this year.  The Vedder with the low and clear conditions, you will have to work a little bit harder.

So when are they going to open the river? Tomorrow?

Only god knows.......

If they do open the rives we will ussaly have a few days if not a week notice. That's been the standard for a while now. With no notice at this time I feel that we will be missing the bulk of the run. But that's just my opinion.

An opening can happen very quickly.

In 2015, the opening announcement came at 4:45PM on Sept 4: Effective 00:01 hours Saturday, September 5, 2015

With the PSC meeting tomorrow, I believe they will open it on Wednesday or perhaps Friday.

That would be swell. Finger crossed.

Yes I remember 2015 it was overnight. No real notice that I remember, only angler speculation. Hopefully we are hours away from an opening
