Not as many pinks showing this morning as a couple of days ago. Saw at least a dozen caught.

Over 2 dozen caught this AM lower Fraser

Almost 1 Million counted past Mission. Looks like it's ramping up a bit early.

Did really well at Furry Creek at high tide . Fish jumping everywhere . Slow trolling . Caught and released a dozen . Once the tide came down and the water colored up it was over . Fish still jumping all over, however visibility was poor .

I see, this yesterday on social media people were saying Howe sound was on fire, I thought it was kinda late but good to hear it

Thought it was a bit strange or maybe not . Back on the highway just as i was passing Sunset Marina I looked across to the small Bowyer Island and seen 20 plus sporty boats at the north east side . Must have been a ton of salmon around there . Maybe that is the reason no boats were around Furry yesterday . Sockeye perhaps ? . Why such a concentrations of sporty fishers there ?. I didn't get the memo .

I have not been keeping up with the updated forecasts, but if it's still expected to be 20M+, then 1M is <5% of the total return and the ramp up is probably right on schedule for a massive peak in the first two weeks of Sep.

If you're referring to sufficient numbers for people to have a decent chance to actually go out and get something, then based on some of the recent reports here, it certainly is early than what were used to seeing, due to the sheer size of the return.

going out after work today in richmond. will update how it goes.

Yeah, I am surprised quite a few people are catching them this early.

it's actually 3.4% of 27 million which is still the official forecast. Close to 60% (59.7%) of the passage past Mission has just happened in the last few days. Again the passage is just an estimate based on catch per effort at Whonnock.

Well this evening was fun! Tons of sockeye jumping all over the place and the odd pink getting hooked, limited out before 7pm today and lost a few more.

I think this test fishery just broke the record of how many pinks were caught.  I checked 2023 and 2011 and not even September test catches were this high.
May be this 27 Million record will be set this year.

Where are you seeing the updated whonnock numbers? I check the PSC website and the last update was the 19th.
