For the last little while I have been opting to store my roe in a mason jar after curing. Some of you may have already seen this manner in which you can seal the jar, but for those of you that haven't, I thought I'd share. First, take a mason jar, some use pints but quart sizes are ok as well...

Well, last weekend, Wendy and I headed out of town to Manning Park for one last weekend in the trailer. We had just buried her Dad the week before, and seriously needed a decompression from the past month of worry and grief. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, with no clouds in the sky night...

I launched from Summerland yesterday with my step dad and his friend about 3pm and fished until just before 7pm. We fished around Crecent beach with nothing really showing on the finder so we headed across to Good creek area. We were trolling 1, 4 inch, trout pattern apex on the down rigger at...

Little late on the report, but thought I'd throw out my trip. Floating row most of the morning with only a couple Spring jacks and pesky smolts taking the offer, so switched up to shortfloating some jigs, and boy was that the ticket, hit some froggy looking water, and BANG an absolutely...

Spent Friday and Sat. fishing the mile markers to the bell. Landed 3on friday, a 19lbs white , a sockeye and 34 lbs white tyee. Smaller spring and sock were on my wife s side using sockeye gear down at 85 feet . Big one took my top rod at 60 feet running a whitish hoochy and watermelon...

Hello all, First off, I would like to thank you for this excellent site. It is a great place to network with similar like minded people of all experience levels. I have fished the lower mainland area for about 40 yrs in both the chuck and local rivers, with the exception of fly fishing which...

I keep hearing people say they are putting out at least one set-up to target springs. I have a quick question, should I put the chinook gear on the upper or lower rod? I've had a couple nice chinooks in the last week, both have been on sox gear, and on the top rod. Would it be correct to assume...

I've avoided the Fraser entirely for about 10 or 12 years. The Gong Show I saw down there the few times I did go back in the late 90's left such a bad taste in my mouth I just never went back. That means that I have NO idea what bar is what bar or where or how busy they are. Generally, I...

Headed back to Nova Scotia to attend a conference last week, and was able to extend my stay and try a little atlantic salmon fishing up in Cape Breton on the Margaree River. I decided to hire a guide so that I could give myself the best opportunity to take advantage of the two days I had. As it...

Went out to Peg Leg today to take a look...Wow i have never seen so many people fish one area on the Fraser in all my life.I was blown away by the amount of people fishing shoulder to shoulder from the lower end of the bar to the top end of the bar and around the corner! Saw one vehicle stuck...

So I am looking to get into a bigger boat and am trying to really figure out if I want to go with an outboard or an I/O. Admittedly I don't know as much as I should on the subject so some of your opinions on the following criteria would be appreciated. Ok so lets assume identical HP, both in...

Local town, in BC, needs some help to get back on top.Lets get this done. As most of us can agree, real fishing towns have salmon. (At least a Kokanne) Lets keep this on the West Coast. http://www.wfn.tv/ultimate-fishing-town/

another Stellar day on the chuck. In the water by 8am and tubbed out by 11am. 40'-65' watch for jumpers and head for them. today the pleasure fleet was in the wrong hole, way out. the fish were in close, water was 150'-200' on the shelf heading north. by 11am they figured it out and were ontop...

Well boys and girls and whomever is interested...Was out at Jones Bar for the grand opening of the Freshwater Sockeye Fishery. I went a little later in the day and have never seen so many cars parked beside the tracks near the trail entrance.There were anglers elbow to elbow from the top of the...

Hit the upper Fraser Thursday afternoon. I set up my bar rig around 1pm at the top of the bar (above a couple of dozen flossers) and settled in for the afternoon. I struck out. I only saw one Spring snagged during the day.
