Title: Vancouver Saltwater Salmon
Post by: GoldHammeredCroc on July 26, 2004, 11:12:24 AM

Hey everybody.

Just headed out with a work mate afterwork today in his boat and I wouldn't mind any information on local salmon areas that might be worth a shot.  Never fished the salt over here since moving from Victoria.  So far, it sounds as though the mouth of the Cap might be worth a shot for hatchery cohos, but what about any areas for Springs that might be moving through on their way up to the Fraser?

Any info would be most appreciated.

Thanks again, and tight lines.

I would probably suggest the sandheads right now. I will be heading out there in 2 weeks if they are still open which it sounds like they will be.

Thanks for the tips.  Tuesday was not too bad.  There were some socks taken on white hootchies around 40-50 feet.  Heard of one coho as well but that was all.  My work mate did see a number of fish jumping in a school (at least a dozen or so) at once so maybe a bunch of sockeye showed up or a number of coho were doing the same.

Anyway.  Good luck and thanks for the advice. ;D
