Also, would anyone think running down the sumas canal with electric would be too risky?  Aside from having jets blast past every 15 mins.......

Recommend paying attention to the tides. Normal river current, coupled with the additional current caused by a dropping tide, may be a bit much for your rig if motoring upstream.

Another river report

I just got back from the Sumas mouth. Fished the incoming tides this morning. Not a lot of action INSIDE the Sumas. There were 5 boats in the Fraser fishing the dirty water line. They were slaying them. Pinks rolling everywhere on the line. We took our one Pink we netted and caught some Sturgeon. I was just surprised 5 boats ( 16 people total ) had the balls to fish for Salmon in the Fraser. Crazy.

I would phone the ORR line on all the boats fishing outside the boundary and retaining pink salmon.

From Facebook


The FRSA would like to remind all anglers to pay attention to where the fishing boundary at the confluence of the Chilliwack/Vedder/Sumas River with the Fraser is, and that all salmon recreational fishing remains closed in the Fraser River.

The Chilliwack/Vedder River boundaries are:

"from a line between two fishing boundary signs on either side of the Chilliwack River 100 m from the confluence of the Chilliwack River and Slesse Creek downstream including that portion of the Sumas River from the Barrow Town Pump Station downstream to fishing boundary signs near the confluence with the Fraser River."

If you observe individuals fishing for salmon illegally outside of that boundary in the Fraser River, please use the DFO's ORR line.

I did when we got into reception. Theres little to no reception almost as soon as you turn into the Sumas. My friend who I with today said there were more than 15 boats in the Fraser on the weekend fishing for Pinks.

Same as it was last cycle. It was the same stuff. It's almost like DFO knows and does nothing about it. It wasnt enforced last cycle. People fished in the Fraser then a week later they opened it up to C&R.

Wonder if they will adjust the in-season estimates upwards tomorrow based on this.

It is pretty good out there. We saw one giant massive blob of Pinks in Chilliwack today on the Fraser. It was never ending. We saw them jumping all over when Sturgeon fishing as well as outside the Nicomen slough where we launched. Jusy everywhere. FAR more than last cycle.

Why don't them enter the river?

The Nicomen ? I assume this what you're talking about. There is no Nicomen run from what I know

I walked over the train bridge and hooked into 3, landed 1 while the tide was changing. Seriously slowed down after that but they are there. Should be pretty good this weekend.

It's going to be a gong show this weekend.

Also, I saw a couple in a kayak right on the tip of the sandy edge where the Fraser meets the Sumas today. I assume they paddled down from Barrowtown

Good thing I just got my gong polished, shes a beauty. I saw a few Kayakers fishing when I was down there, I am guessing it still beats walking.
