So pretty much the only fishing I have done lately has been barfing for dollies/bulls. I have been out 3 times and now gotten into 9. Some decent sized ones as well.

My set-up is simple. A three way swivel tied to the main line, with a peice of line about 12 " tied to the bottom of that with a snap swivel on the end. Use about a 14-18" leader and hook tied to the middle of the three way swivel, add a 2-3 ounce weight to the bottom, add nice chunk of roe. fish the out going tide and cast out about 40 -60 feet. That is about it. The spot, and I hope that I don't get flamed by the old timers for this, Brownsville. Beside the Patello bridge. Here are a couple pics of the set up and size of roe chunk!!

And one more pic of a really nice spotted one from the other day. Brightest spots I have seen on one this year!!

If you get out there, good luck, they are pretty fun!! :cheers:

Sweet post BS, real pretty one at the bottom there,,,,its amazing there are such good opportunities in the city. Think of all the people going across that bridge every day and not many (if any) are thinking of the fishing down below it.

everytime I cross the river there my eyes stray to that spot to see if anyone is fishing...great little spot!

Hey there BS Beauty's I never would have thought there were fishable areas down in that area that would actually produce quality fish :thumbup: My uncle used to take me down by the mission bridge many years ago during the spring to fish for dollys and cutts. We used to have a blast , but as we got older our focus changed to steelys and back wash cutty's. That is probably one of the most relaxing ways to be out on the water, hot cup o joe and the faint ringing of a bell in the distance meaning fish on, thats what I call serenity :cheers:
Cheers,
Crazy D

How many sturgies you get doing that?

How many sturgies you get doing that?

In 5 years.....none out of that spot. I have another spot for those, but I will keep that one to myself for now!! Or at least till I get down there to try it out this year!! ;D

 

[coho_killer]

In that same spot around 10 years ago i hooked a 35 inch sturgon using that same setup u use! During coho season i nailed it with dog roe and a 1/0 hook! On the top hook i hit a nice 4 inch bullhead 2 fish i rig up! :thumbup: Good spot in the fall for pinks and coho!

C.K.

Well i spent the afternoon out at the bar and came up with 1 decent Bull trout and lost two others cuz i was too far away from my rod..... : and these photo's. Thanks for the hot spot Big Steel.!!! :thumbup:

What is wrong with this picture?

 

[DMW]

Sorry I couldn't make it down there today!! Glad you had some luck though, nice fish!! ;D


About the other pics, that crap has been there since I have been going there. ??? Have tried to get some of it out, but a lot of it is anchored and or real sharp and a bit dangerous. Something should be done about it though. As the tide goes out, if shows us more and more of the Fraser's treasure's. : ???

ive looked through that mess it looks like someone parked an old dodge pick up there years and years ago if your a ford guy there is an old set of 302 heads down there there a bit rusty but there still good lol . it looks like that park used to be a land fill at one time pritty crazy

 

[Britguy]

Thanks for that Big Steel
i fancy trying that area out just not sure how to get there ???

 

[Richard Nixon]

Britguy, the place is called Brownvilles Bar. It is right across the river from New West. on the Slurrey side. You can also hook these fish at Foreshore park in Burnaby or off the end of Nelson road off Westminter Hwy in Richmond.

 

[Britguy]

Thanks Bill i will check these out
it wil make a change from hiking the Veder
how long will the Dollies be there ???
can you sue worms or is roe best

 

[Rick Baerg]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not, so I thought I would bring it up! All Bull Trout and Dolly Varden are catch and release in all rivers and streams in British Columbia!!! :cheers:

 

[Britguy]

Yeh i know
im fine with all catch and release
and dont forget to crimp those barbs right down
or use barbless hooks
can you use two hooks with this bar fishing
ie two rigs on one line ???

 

[Richard Nixon]

Hey Rick, not all B.C is you can still bonk a bulltrout in region 4 the Kootenays, but you are right most of the province is catch and release on all Dolly Varden and Bulltrout

 

[Rick Baerg]

Hey Rick, not all B.C is you can still bonk a bulltrout in region 4 the Kootenays, but you are right most of the province is catch and release on all Dolly Varden and Bulltrout

That would be in lakes only, no?


Just looked at the regs. Wow, yes you can keep bull trout in region 4, between April 1 and Oct 31 :wallbash:

 

[DMW]

Britguy, I have seen pretty much every oldtimer out there using 2 hooks. I can't bring myself to do it. Besides, you go through way to much bait and I get plenty with just one hook.
I never use dew worms, strictly roe, but I wouldn't rule it out. Think that you would get a lot more coarse fish action, and well....they are just plain annoying. ;D

 

[Britguy]

one hook is fine just checking as the bought set ups have two hooks
and roe it will be just need somewhere to get some good stuff
dont think my wife will let me cure my own in the new house :naughty:

 

[HOOK]

i thought that even the lower Fraser had gone to

SINGLE BARBLESS as i know you used to be able to use two hooks (barbless) not sure about now
