They're not commercial nets. First Nations' communal chum salmon openings.

Day one of opening and already speculating the cause of a collapse... lol.
Same thing Day 2. Only 1/2 the people showed up and most were leaving after just a couple of hours. Let the collapse discussion begin!  If you haven't bought a Tidal license yet, may be you can save that money  ;)

Went to brownsville bar park this afternoon. Only 1 guy landed a wild coho and most people didn't even get a single bit. It was completely dead.
Maybe the rain tomorrow will bring the fish in.

How's everyone's Thanksgiving?

Long day for 2 of us..fished with roe from 9:30-7 on late incoming through outgoing tide, Langley/Abbotsford area. 1 wild and 1 hatch landed, another lost close to shore, many missed bites, all on outgoing tide. Incoming tide was dead on the contrary. Saw only a few jacks landed by others...otherwise quite slow overall.

After a few hundred cast on the Coho spoon I managed to land a wild Coho just as the tide started to move out . Seen quite a few large fish rolling around after that but didn't entice them to the spoon . Then it went dead . Seen others on there bar rods hit and miss . Good outing though .

No fish seen in the area I was fishing.  More than a dozen rods with no bites from just before peak tide until almost low slack tide. A boat came in and landed an 8 foot sturgeon though.

Rod do you have a link for commercial openings handy?

TIA

Fished high tide in Delta for a couple hours today. Nothin but bullheads. Lots of native boats out, didn't look like they were getting much fish, either. Didn't even see a fish rise the whole time I was there (lots of chop in the water from all the boats ripping around with their nets though so, who knows).

Fished near Port Mann bridge today, lots of fish showing themselves, no takers.

Some sort of nibbly bugger going tap tap tap but no actual strikes...
