hi,

newbie here. Where is Stevenson island? thanks
Ill join ya when you go!! LOL

 

[Junebug]

Shady Island ?

 

[mihoum]

It's in Richmond. Follow Rd No2, cross Steveston Hwy, then you get lower Fraser and see the island.
I've heard there is good spot for chum (when fish is there)

 

[ashtonspoutine]

from shore?

 

[mihoum]

you need to have a boat to get the other side of the island.
a small boat is ok there just to get the island.

Or cross the break water during low tide .....Marko

I have a small boat but not like a portable one...Its on the trailer and needs to be launched with the car. Does that do?

 

[mihoum]

Yes, it does.

there is a boat launch there but you must watch the tide. it goes very shallow there and you do not want to wait for the tide to come in. i use it for duck/geese season some times.

so...


when are the chum getting there?

 

[masterbaiter]

The Fraser test sets are picking up a few. But the bulk of the run shouldn't show for a few weeks.

 

[kaitlyn]

compared to last year, the chum are actually late this year if you check last year's results.
Coho, on the other hand, are earlier than last year. ;D

Do not cross the break water. Every year some fool attemps that and gets sucked down.I have been fishing Shady for 10yrs and highly reccommend you get a boat if possible and go that way. The breakwater can be very dangerous.It looks innocent but really isnt ,strong current even at a foot or so.

 

[hunterj]

take his advice and do not cross the breakwater as a few years back 4 chinese students went across at low tide and all drowned trying to get back. there are large signs there now and believe what they say.
