I know several groups of people that plan on camping and casting for a few days. This is why I wish they had kept the Springs closed. I wonder how many people will be setup all day long.

Just went to Cabelas for a new pair of flip flops. It was a GONG SHOW. The lineup for new reels getting spooked was 14 people deep. I then went to Fred's to get two eats reels spoiled and it was dead.
What time were u there? I got mine done right away. Cabelas is having a 20% off sale. Prices very competitive.

Like i said on the other thread i find it very unfortunate that they are basically allowing snagging for Chinook as well as the Sockeye.

What a bloody shame this river has become.

One sockeye opening in 4 years and you think bottom bouncing is the tragic activity that’s happening to the Fraser. Get a grip or go back to screaming reels with that washed up drunk idiot from deroche.

Go early to get the best parking spot for your truck, the best snag free and best anchoring spot. The fish will come throughout the day. Plus you can get your fish and get home before the heat of the day cooks you crispy.

Now - I don't care. I don't need to see this crap anymore. I like the air conditioning at Save-On where the Sockeye are already on ice.

Just chatted with a commercial fisherman in Ft Langley.

He says the fish have not reached up that far in the river yet - the fish are around the Port Mann bridge.
There was a recent 4 hour commercial opening and he only caught 20 fish - others had up to 50.

Doesn't sound good but I will be out with the masses tomorrow.
