Compared to the 2015 Fraser pink run, the post-season was estimate 5,779,000.  Hopefully in a couple of years 2021, we'll be back up to the long term average of around 8 million fish.  With no commercial nor rec fishery on the Fraser, we'll hopefully get just as many spawners this time around compared to 2015.  There should be plenty of fish for everybody on the Vedder and Harrison.

Can anyone tell me why there is no opening for pink above the Hwy 7 bridge on Harrison?  Has it always been excluded from the freshwater salmon supplement??

It was never open above Cabin Point. In other odd year cycles the boundary was the CPR Bridge.

200+ caught in one set in the lower fraser its loaded. What a shame and the one group that is allowed to fish for FSC tosses them out with the trash.

im gonna go fishing for pinks in the Fraser in a bit , il be fishing the coquitlam area of the fraser. peak tide was at 10 am this morning , is it worth going out and fishing rn ?

[Hike_and_fish]

I just got back from fishing the incoming tide in the Sumas. I counted 4 other boats. 5 total. We lost 4 fish and kept one. I didnt see many caught. Probably 7 ? Didnt see  whole lot of fish either. Very very slow compared to past years. I did see a few Springs in the Fraser in the clear water of the Sumas. Lots of Pinks as well. A few boats did cast lines I to the Fraser past the boundary.

That's all I got.

So is this a protest fishery? Are we allowed C/R or you have to catch pinks on pikeminnow setup? LOL !

For Pinks in the Fraser my fishing diary entries go back to the early 90s and I usually found the middle of Sept to the end of the month  the best time for the Fraser above Mission and inthe Vedder. Often the big push up the Fraser was around Sept 10th. Fishing a week or so before that was usually slow. Back in the 80s I recall very large number of Pinks in the Vedder/Chilliwack in early to mid October & later. Within the last 10 to 15 years it was usually done by Thanksgiving. In 2013 I caught nice chrome pinks around the Cottonwoods on Labour Day. I was out last Thursday and didn't see a fish in the lower river. I saw one small school in the canal today. The weather has been dry and hot. I measured the temperature at 65F at about 830 this morning. The river gauge us showing a rise of 4C by early afternoon. With low water and warm temperatures the fish may be staying out in the Fraser or what fish are below the Sumas confluence are fish going up the Fraser but moving into the lower part of the Sumas. This is common on other rivers like the Harrison.
