Fished for a couple hours starting at 6AM around Maple ridge Area.  Saw some fish rise and for the first time this year, porpoise.  No luck for me.  Strange thing is I went out first day of opening and caught a nice male.  Skunked since then.

river mud is quite common on the Fraser for some reason, if not covered up by rip rap

As mentioned Derby Reach has sand or pebbles at high tide at least, and some of the bars downstream of Derby do as well at high tide

Sunday morn9ng update:

Fished first light mid river for pinks, got one and one other person did also, dozen anglers out.

died off round 9 with the outgoing tide building force

fished all last week starting at the low tides, saw few that looked like pinks, lots of sockey and sturgeon jumping and springs being caught

this morning the river was packed with jumpers, looking forward to quiet mornings and very fishy tides this week

Also look at the satellite images of where you want to try and it should be fairly obvious if it's made of that rocky rip-rap you're trying to avoid.

Not as many pinks showing this morning as a couple of days ago. Saw at least a dozen caught.

Thanks Clarki. I referred to Heighton's book before I responded to this thread.  It was compiled in the mid 80s or so (published Jan 1989) so it's quite old. Another good book is Fishing Fever Mission to Hope by Eileen McQuire (1999)with a 2nd edition (2001). It looks like a digital edition can be borrowed from this website:

https://openlibrary.org/books/OL36636760M/Fishing_fever

Of course Rod did a number of articles for the parent website of this discussion board and a number of bars are listed.

https://www.fishingwithrod.com/articles/region_two/tidal_fraser_river.html

Again these will be from some years ago and I can't vouch the condition or accessibility of these today
