Flossing pinks.... classic. I guess that river has 0 vis so that is the only way to catch them.

Looks to be decent numbers of pinks coming into the Fraser.

2017-08-27 Cottonwood numbers were = 8
The highest it got that year for Cottonwood was 84 on the last day of testing on Sept 10

2019-08-27 Cottonwood numbers are = 76

The marine area (San Juan) is dropping rapidly but were good.

2017-08-27 Area 20 San Juan Sockeye Seine = 166 with a peak of 3267 on Aug 15.
2019-08-27 Area 20 San Juan Sockeye Seine = 113 but a peak of 9620 on Aug 18.

There must be a lot of pinks jumping in the Fraser right now.

Looks like it's going to be just 5 Million fish. Slight improvement over 2017.

The boudry marker is brutal. Its only on one tree now. How is a newcomer going to know if the line is on an angle or straight across. You would think someone would get their act together and put up some proper signage

I wonder if the pike minnow demonstration fishery had anything to do with them adding retention to Vedder Pinks.

Just spoke to someone relatively high up at Pacific DFO.

There is a possibility of a rec pink opening in the lower Fraser.

The opening depends on the PSC report on the estimated return due out Friday.
The estimate would have to be at the P75 level or higher (7.4M fish).

The paperwork couldn't be done by Friday for an opening so it would be Tuesday/Wednesday next week.

This would also probably mean a commercial opening but I'll take what I can get.

Oh my goodness, are we going to exceed the low abundance exploitation rate for sockeye salmon in that case? lol...

It's a long shot but itll definitely be good news. I know pretty much everyone who fishes from a boat at the mouth of the Summas loves to chase them in from low tide. With access in the Fraser portion, itll definitely be a game changer.

Based on the test fisheries the last few days, I think it will remain at P50 unfortunately.
