Have you guys had any luck with spoons and spinners yet?
I only have salmon spoons and line, no pike minnow gear  ;D

Rod's latest fishing report says:

"Tidal Fraser River is reasonably clear for this time of the year and it is shaping up nicely for the upcoming pink salmon season. Lure fishing for northern pikeminnow should be very good and it is a good practice for the upcoming pink salmon fishing season."

Have you guys had any luck with spoons and spinners yet?
I got 1 on a spinner-worm combo yesterday evening but it was in a slough draining into the lower Pitt where the water is clearer. Vis in the Pitt is still quite lousy for lures..a bottom rig with worm will work very well there.

So far the pikeminnow have ignored all my spoons and spinners regardless of colour or shininess.

Was fishing the Squamish over the weekend. Watched 11 landed. I personally did not land. The river was stacked shoulder to shoulder.
