Anyone can fish below Mission for trout, sturgeon or coarse fish right now. There's your 'opportunity'. The FN chinook fishery started last week & likely will continue until the end of the month (see your last post).

from my experience catching any trout in the tidal Fraser is extremely difficult and rare. Coarse fishing gets boring and for sturgeon you need to invest lots of money into gear

that's my point - if they provided an opportunity to fish for pinks now or even for the long weekend (which is what some people are getting at) taking advantage of that opportunity would provide pretty much the same experience you describe.

pS - you don't need expensive gear to fish for sturgeon.

Does furry creek produce during high tides? Trying to plan a weekday and mostly its high tide at 3-4m

watch out at furry creek. i got my window smashed and truck gone through right in the visitors parking at olivers landing. nothing to steal. buddy says he has seen someone tenting around in the bushes in various locations. be on the lookout.

I was there on saturday, and then went everyday during my camping trip 22-24. Never saw or heard something like that... I honestly enjoyed the ocean fishing much more than the river fishing. Furry creek has such nice views and fresh fish you can keep. Squamish river was dirty, fish are in poorer condition and C&R.

Day 1


Day 2


Day 3


4 fish in total over three days, not bad for my first time beach fishing. Things to note. BRING TASMANIAN DEVILS, seems that only that lure was catching fish, saw some caught on the fly but nothing compared to tassies. Bring at least 3 of them. I lost 5 total but I was being a bit foolish. Also use 15 lb leader if running braid. Had some fish break off and lures gone flyinf your line will get damaged and frayed on the rocks. I was using 10 lb and I think it was not enough. Early morning low tides were the best evening as well but honestly most of the time for hours at a time out of 10 people 1-2 fish would be caught and 3-4 hooked. But sometimes a school comes by and you will see 3-4 fish on at once pretty cool and interesting how it played out. You can get 2 fish in 15 m if you get lucky. Which i will say this fishery is mostly luck.

Did you rig your tasmanian devil line thru method - like a buzz bomb? Or did you leave the metal wire in it and fish as out of the package....

great pics, by the way.

Good job Darko! Thanks for sharing

Decent day at Furry Creek. Went late morning still got 2. The fish were way outside jumping. I observed that the guys jigging with long casting pink buzz bombs seemed to do better than even the Tasmania Devil gangs. Don't forget to bring the good old buzz bomb in case the fish are out of range most of the time like today. Luckily my 13.5g TD did get out far enough to hit 2 beauties. Tight line!

I caught fish using both but apparently the thru method leads to less line fray I heard. Honestly I dont think its much different but majority use the thru method.

Any anglers present for this?

oh wow how tragic. I was thinking to myself how many lures I could retrieve if I went for a dive but looks like it's not such a good idea.. I wonder if the tide played a factor in the drowning maybe some sort of underwater current??
