Title: Bar under the mission bridge
Post by: ziggypal on August 03, 2012, 09:41:02 AM: Does anybody know if the bar under the mission bridge is open yet? I tried to get out there a few weeks ago but it was closed cuz the river was too high.

It's the cutoff for the tidal portion of Fraser. It's usually bar fishing with bait. I don't think the current there is strong enough over there for effective bar fishing with spin and glows.
