The river was alive this afternoon.   I fished annacis island for two hours.  Fish were everywhere. I got a couple. And kept one. The 5 others in my spot limited out also.     Tomorrow will be even better.    Good luck to everyone out there.

They have 900k passing missions for yesterday if this is right and the marine catches are right and the run is 8 days early then it’s prime time.

good thing the river opened early for the sports anglers. Just think if DFO waited until well into September like in the past.

Ocean test catch low but in river high. These fish seem to skip the staging and go right through.  Seals and whales chasing them in river perhaps.

I noticed the sockeye being more silver this year than the last sockeye season. Saw under developed milt and eggs.

Not as many fish showing as in the past couple of days but still pretty darn good fishing. Amazing how fishermen tend to congregate to their kins. Walk 50 feet and you're  in no man's land and the fishing is still good.

Yes. I agree. The socks are much more chrome this opening but of a smaller size.

Gillnetters were out in the Lower Fraser this morning. Despite that, pinks were being caught, but not as many as a few days ago. Expected I guess.

Trying not to be that lazy guy. But does someone have a link for commercial and FN openings on the Fraser?
Saw a whack of boats this morning, no bites along the stretch I was fishing.
