I drive by Nicomen Slough every morning on my way to work. In the last week guys are parking at the pumphouse on the Lougheed by Crack Gas to fish where Norrish Cr. dumps in. My question is, what are they fishing for? Bass, carp????

 

[HOOK]

I would bet they are targetting Cutties. i have caught them in there targetting Coho but i mean that isnt until November

 

[Richard Nixon]

Up in that part of the slough its bone dry, these guys are there at 5:20am walking in with their tackleboxes and meat sticks.

 

[Richard Nixon]

most likely the same guys that fish the Hatzic that kill everything they catch,

 

[Richard Nixon]

Bill, these guys are driving beaters, not new Hondas or VWs like the ones parked at Hatzic. I'll check it out again tomorrow morning, maybe get an interview or two. Funny you mentioned Hatzic, every morning when I pass the gas station at Sylvester Rd. I cough a couple times, clear my throat, roll down the windows, and yell out POACHER. You see a few heads pop up in the rear view everytime! :thumbup:

 

[Richard Nixon]

Yea I always wonder which restaurants have daily specials on carp ;D

 

[Rib]

I would be interested in knowing what they are fishing for also...let us know once you check it out will ya barskull?

Thx.

 

[Richard Nixon]

Nobody home there this morning, maybe on the way home this afternoon

 

[mrmugs]

I am pretty sure there are cutties in there. I haven't fished it myself but a buddy of mine has. I think guys will even bring their belly boats into the slough.

Not enough water in that section to hold cutthroat with the amount of eagles and ospreys in the area.

[JetBoat Jim]

Shhhh..really, just dont tell anyone! I'm going to get there early.

 

[Richard Nixon]

See you at 5:20 with some hot coffee fer ya Jim. Seriously, maybe these guys are fairweather fishermen? I'll see tomorrow

 

[JetBoat Jim]

[Richard Nixon]

I still have some C.I. L. lures left over from my last fishing trip, you guys want to use them. >

No its ok Bill, dew worms are probably the ticket because of the high bank there, the worms are more than likely falling into the water all the time cause they're lost. You gotta think like a fish...

Forget the worms. All your going to do is gut hook the Cutts. Just as bad as flossing. :naughty:

That part of the Slough is not slow water. Your fishing a river in that area. These guys are fishing for Cutthroat, early Ho's or possibly a very very late winter Steel. Maybe they have no clue and just decided to go fishing. Having said that most people that fish that spot usually know something since it's not overly popular compared to the lower end of the slough.

Do Carp spawn in fast water?

Fishing for cutties with white abu garcia halibut rods?? Give your head a shake buddy, do you drive by there every single morning? Didnt think so : :
