Where would be the best place to get into some pinks, with my son after school?
Thought of the Stave river/Frazer area.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I took my 3 kids under the Mission bridge this evening and I got one and lost one in an hour. Its a perfect place.

Hey ntaggart


You could try the Mouth of the Stave right out at the Fraser or under the bridges

Is that considered Tidal water or freshwater ? Do I need to go past the train bridge for it to be considered fresh water ? i have been looking for Pinks too, and can't seem to find them.

On the stave it is tidal from the train bridge down. On the Fraser it is the hwy bridge down that is tidal. There is some nice spots on the non-tidal fraser just up stream from the bridge on the Abby side. There is also a nice spot across from the info centre on hwy 7 in Mission(east side). There is a pull out and a trail to the river. I have found that this year there seems to be more fish around on the low tide.

Hey nofishfisherman

The Fraser is tidal below the Mission bridge and the Stave is Tidal below the Rail bridge,and freshwater above it

I would try dewdney sleu or nicomen sleu. You can cast, bar fish, troll, salmon or trout fish. The list goes on.

I am going to give the Abby side a try, thanks.
