Title: Quick Question Fraser Bar Fishing
Post by: SirCastsAlot on September 11, 2015, 08:55:06 PM

I was at a tackle store today talking about going fishing on the Fraser by Chilliwack this weekend with my new bar rod setup. They told me there is currently a bait ban and should not tip my spin and glow. I checked:

and for the Fraser river, it only says bait ban for coho? If I am bar fishing for Chinook, I should be good to use row?

Thanks Guys

It says " No fishing for coho, bait ban when fishing for salmon" I wouldn't be using row on my spin n glow if I were you. It's not needed anyhow lots of springs and jacks still taking bare spin n glows today.

Thanks for the clarification!

Wanted to double check because the rules can sometimes be confusing. It says bait ban under the coho section but not under anything else. I would of thought, if it was a bait ban, it would say all areas - All - bait ban when fishing for salmon....Kinda like how they do it for daylight hours or for Cheakamus River : All    Apr 01-Mar 31    Bait ban.

Thanks for the help!
