there are many drift wood. They sometime look like whales. they are dark

Sarcasm at its finest

and they jump, frequently.

Post #3

I was born in Richmond to a commercial fishing family and spent a good part of my life on the Fraser river. In approx. 1960 while deckhanding on my fathers boat we observed a large male Orca proceeding upriver at Steveston in either July or August.
This was the only time this was seen and is still etched in my mind. I guess you can never say never.

that he could distinguish it as a male makes this more credible for me at least.

anyway it's nothing new for people to report seeing them in the Fraser but is that what they really saw?

I’ve spent the last 40 years working on the Fraser between Mission and the mouth, North Arm and main stem. I have never seen or heard of a killer whale in the river. That’s my two cents.

Very slow this morning at 2 locations. Fishing pressure has dropped off noticeably the past week so have the fishing. Only 1 caught.

They learned to not bite our lures. 900K fish swam through yesterday and probably similar amount today.

There are still harvesters shamefully bottom bouncing up in the non tidal and limiting out

Another very slow morning in the tidal Fraser. Fishermen heading home with glum faces.

it's open until Sept 25th though numbers of fish will drop over the coming week

In the last five days while working I’ve only seen a half dozen or so fish roll. Have seen plenty of shore anglers and none of them have been hooked up. On the North arm.

Heard the Squamish system is fishing well.

11 fish caught today by a youngster.

Visibility is zero, so no real fishing to speak off. Only snagging and flossing is what is happening.

Still schools of pinks moving through the Lower Fraser.....

[yoh]

Action picked up at Mission this morning. People having the best luck with the tassie it seems. Still a few flossers around. Had a couple hooked on spoons but they were really coloured up.

were into some big humpies on Saturday out in front of the Fraser. Over 6 pounds strong enough to pop the clip and screen some line out.

Mission bridge was decent, me and a buddy hit another system to see if we could find some pinks but alas, none to be found so we made a quick roll to the park. Bud got into a pink in the first 4 casts, I could hook fish but only landed 1, but still a decent day and lots of laughs to be had.

Caught two early last week in about an hour and since then haven’t been able to catch anymore. Have tried Richmond south arm near 4 road a couple times and from Burnaby Foreshore park once. I’m brand new so I’m learning a lot but it is disappointing when you have such success early on and then a period of nothing.
