Just in case you or others do not know, the current bait ban in the Fraser River until October 7th does not allow you to use roe for salmon. After that, you will be able to use roe. Hatchery coho salmon (the ones without an adipose fin) will probably be allowed (opportunities have not been announced, and will be in early October. There is no retention of coho salmon, both wild and hatchery, in the Fraser right now).

Does anyone know if you are allowed to keep hatchery coho in the chuck right now?? Cause I'm going out on a charter for springs and there have been a fair amount of coho caught recently as well.
-
You can retain hatchery cohos.

I have had succsess in the past fishing coho staged at creek mouths on on blue fox spinners. I usually use bigger sizes than in clear water rivers. Sizes 3,4 seem to give me the best results.

you should check the wording of the dfo coho conservation regs, my understanding is that coho are a "non target" species right now in the fraser, meaning they don't want you to target them period. That's just how i understood it anyways.
