im 0/4 tries. been out island 22 and up/down from there with no sightings other than drift nets.
-
One to the beach out of about 16 hours for me. Two sockeye released as well. She needs to clean up more before it gets good.

just feeding the species you don't want

What do you mean?

Trot - are you the one that emailed me a couple times ? I tried to reply twice and it bounced back to me each time, not sure why
-
Indeed that was me-Try mwentrot@hotmail.com
-
was out by annacis a few times and nothing but squaw fish and other bait stealing critters

I updated my profile, I found the problem as to why it was bouncing back. Darn spelling lol

Ah I see- that's a problem I don't experience much in the upper river.
-
their was lots of rising when i was there but they were to far out. look liked good size fish too.
-
Waiting on my new Abu 7001i before I can get out......hopefully not too much longer. Been satisyfing myself with Pinks at the moment.
Anyone looking for Bar fishing company in the next few weeks? I swear I'm good at conversation :D

Zero for 3 for me up Gill area . Pretty quiet besides the laughter and people having good conversation , throw in a few wobbly pops and it gets even louder ;D . I tried all sorts of spin and glow colors to no avail . The only one I didn't try was Bent Rods Cascade blades #6 anchored out . Next time ;) .

In the Tidal Fraser I rarely bring out my roe before October. This time of the year the likelihood of catching a chinook salmon is pretty slim down here. The river is too wide and muddy. There are too many unwanted species pecking on roe. I save my roe for coho salmon when retention opens in early October. By then, water is already cold enough to keep the other species inactive, so the only species that would bite are coho salmon, bull trout, cutthroat trout and possibly chum salmon.

All of my fish have came on the cascade blades, I rig it up with a glob of roe though. They out fished my friends using spin n glo's last year to. Easy to fish from shore as well, don't need to use em out the back of the boat.

Hey Trot,
Where do you usually head on the upper river?
-
Was out bar fishing with roe east of Mission on a beautiful Monday afternoon, no love, not even a sniff, saw quite a few risers, but unfortunately they were all sturgeon, and a couple seals. ;)
Was thinking of using a blade or spin and glow's, anyone think theres enough current to get them going effectively a couple km's east of Mission? It looks kind of border line
-
Hey Trot,

Would love to tell you but we usually have the bar to ourselves-If I posted it I can guarantee the bottom rippers would arrive. Without a boat I really only know of two places that aren't plagued by snaggers.
-
Fully respect your decision there...Can totally understand.
Saw a couple of guys bottom ripping for pinks they other day in squamish......was rediculous

It's been decades since I did much of it but I remember most years the river would drop well and partially clear by mid-August. Bar fishing roe for jack springs was usually fair or better if we had good roe.By fair I mean most days there's be a fish or two on the beach for 2 anglers by the time we wrapped it up. It was good enough that we'd do it both Saturday and Sunday.There were the odd times we took several or even close to a limit (8 for jacks at the time) for each of us. This was the Langley area - Duncan, Glen Valley, by the Albion Ferry back in the late 60s and the 70s. The late summer run of red springs is still pretty healthy so this kind of fishing may still be worth a shot.

The jack spring fishery in late August down in the Tidal Fraser is still very good. The older anglers who do it annually always get into dozens of them around that time by fishing bait at those popular bars. I remember at the sockeye catch and release study a couple of years ago, the beach seining part brought in a large number of jack springs.
