Hi All!
I am newbie. I have been in one of tackle shops and guy who works there told that there is no pink salmon run this year. Last year there was a pink salmon run starting in September. So I am not sure if guy is right or not. Do pink runs each year, once each two years or what?
Please clarify.
Thanks a lot!!!

Along the South Coast they run only in odd numbered years in the rivers. In the north they run every year Ex: Terrace, Prince Rupert etc. They return way younger than the other salmon. Pinks are generally a two year fish. I hope this helps.

not to throw a bit of confusion in here but
i was fishing the beach for Ho's yesterday
and a group of us saw a few Humpies jumping in amongst the Ho's :shock:
So there is a small return on even years just not enough to fish for :wink:

very slight chance it might be the indian river pinks? that also depends on where u were beach fishing?

I just got back from fishing the rivers inlet area for 5 days. The head guide at our lodge told us that Johnston Bay was full of pinks waiting to spawn. Unfortunatly the creek(Johnston Creek) had little or no water in it. As a result most of the fish would prbably die in the next couple weeks.

There are some pinks that do trickle down, but it's very minimal.

CK.....I have been up on the Indian River, but never specfically fishing. I have seen pinks in there, but is it a complete run of "nil" on every second year (even years?) or are there still some that show up?
