I know that it is steelhead season and all but I have a few questions for the salmon fisherman on board.
Being from down here in the states, my normal methods for springs (or kings as we call them) include, anchor fishing kwikfish, backtrolling, anchor fishing eggs, etc. I see when looking back at the posts on here for the last couple of years, that most guys on the fraser are either bottom bouncing, or bar fishing. I noticed that Abbyfireguy as well as Gofish last summer made mention of fishing with prawn spinners (another method that I like to fish) and also fishing kwikies.
So my questions would be be, how deep are these fish traveling in? Being that your bar fishing I would imagine that they are traveling pretty close to shore, but has anybody ever tried to fish some of the deeper slots from a boat or are there rules in place that you can't fish from a boat like some of our rivers do? When you are bar fishing are you just running a plain spin/glow or are you backing it up with a big glob of eggs?
What are the regs on the Frazer as far as bait, allowable methods, etc.
I have a sled and would love to experiement with some of our techniques on the Frazer. I think that they would be just as deadly there as they are here. Kinda similar to steelhead fishing in that you guys showed us the float fishing deal many years ago and now some of our river techniques for salmon are starting to catch on up there.
I would be very interested in taking somebody out that new the river and wanted to experiment with some new techniques.
