For fishing at North Arm, you want to be casting and retrieving a spoon or spinner right now. While bulk of the pink salmon run passes through South Arm, there isn't a shortage of fish that come through North Arm. In fact, you'll find fish moving through North Arm more consistently, and I have always caught more fish there than South Arm in past pink salmon seasons. Going into October once coho opens, it'll also be very good at North Arm.

Came in from Hope on Highway 1 this morning. On the north side of the Fraser and just west of the Flying J, we could see the sporties fishing and lined up like bottles on the shore. Way too many people there for my liking - however one of the best fishing spots very close to Hope was completely void of anyone fishing.

Nobody was bottom bouncing at Peg Leg yesterday.  Is it because people are developing a conscience or it's just not productive  ;)  (until next year maybe)

This is likely a famous first in the last 20 years. I'm truly impressed. Bullying appears to work. ::)

At least for this year.

May be they can introduce catch and release only for sockeye next year.  I wonder how many will take part in it  ;D
