If the returns come in as per the forecast of 17 million it's not a record year; 2003, 2009, 2011 and 2013 were higher.

After the high test catches in the Area 12 Seine test fishery Aug 9-12, catches there have dropped off considerably from an average of 73k to 19k over the last 4 days not to mention Aug 17 & 18 when the catches were 385 and 9 respectively. The average of the last 5 days in the Area 20 Seine test fishery is 5.5k The last panel report was Aug 18th.

The fish at the Area 12 and 20 test sites have to swim to the mouth of the Fraser which takes them several days. Then they usual lay off the river for a time as their systems adjust to the Fraser water environment. Yet to be seen when they will enter the river in numbers.

When looking at the big years such as 2013 one thing I notice is that the big test fishery numbers continue well into late August and even into September. Area 12 average from Aug 24 to Sep 2 2013 the average was 39k.

Perhaps the spawn in the Fraser valley in 2021 didn't escape serious loss from the major flood as we hoped  though the upper Fraser, Thompson and Seaton fish did.

70 thousand area 20 yesterday

70k fish a new peak. That will change the data model and estimates to be even higher.

Rod,
Sorry to hear about your father. I went through this years ago. It does get easier to cope over time.

Fishing should be good by Tuesday with cooler temps and some rain.

No, 3rd highest of the season.

Sorry to hear about your father Rod. Lost my father and favourite fishing buddy in 2017. Last time I fished with him was at Tunkwa lake, a place I know you’re familiar with, possibly with your father ? I have great fishing memories as I’m sure you do.

My condolences during this difficult time Rod.  I think you are doing the right thing taking the time to grieve and process everything.

If they open; any suggestions on locations from shore. I'm in Dichmond. I was thinking garry point but also heard Deas isle maybe good too. I've never fished there on the river side. Any tips appreciated for that general vicinity - I've got my nephews with me so it be nice to connect with a fish.

Used to live in Richmond and fished for pinks a lot.

The south end of #3 Rd and #4 Rd on Dyke Rd is good.
There's a "fishing pier" at #3 Rd & I have done well just west of there on the rocks.
That whole area east and west of the pier and dog park are good.

Also, there are several areas in Deas Island Park that are reasonable.

just need good numbers of fish( and the right tide for the location. Also don't fish the north side between New Westminster  and Haney. They tend to stay on the south until they are past the Pitt River confluence.

Has anyone here ever fished for pinks in area 29-12 before? I was thinking maybe around the fraser river dog park
