Well I hit the Fraser with my sturgeon slayer son, rln and barskull, we found a bar with nobody on it so we fished. WE BAR FISHED, not the other type of fishing :naughty:. we managed several hits and and all ended up taking some small springs home. I ended up beaking one off landed on the bar, :wallbash: swam back to the river. I killed one @65 cm and another at 45 cm, rln caught a beauty about 7 or 8 after being there for 5 minutes.
barskull also killed one about 4-5 lbs.

all in all a good day, besides the several rain showers (only above us). I'm so tired of running to that darn rod only to miss the buggers.

Yep, good times out there today. There were a few 1/2 hr. lulls but the fish kept coming. I totally forgot about your rod, it blowed up real good :thumbup:

 

[rln]

rod will be all fixed up on Wednesday evening, nothing to worry about.

 

[JetBoat Jim]

I think it broke from the 18 oz-snakeroll/reverse-snap-T combo.

Actually those springs in there are not early. Those fish are summer red springs aka just like vedder reds same broodstock. aka chiko springs from the upper fraser system... :cheers: sage

Nice fish man, I took my father in law and 2 brothers in law out to Wellington bar to do some bar fishing today too. Had 3 on but they threw the hook and we also missed a few on the way to the rods. The 5 guys bottom bouncing beside us landed 4 springs over 15 lbs including one that looked near 30. So far I am 0/4 on the Fraser while bar fishing for Springs but I am not quitting just yet!

 

[noxcape]

They were originally Quesnel River chinook before DFO decided in their wisdom to shut down the hatchery near Likely.

According to Peter Buck of the Chilliwack hatchery(who has been there since it was opened), the fish are actually originally derived from a small creek tributary of the Fraser. These fish spend their time holding in the Fraser and shoot up the creek at the first fall rain to spawn immediately. This is the apparent reason they are found bunched together in select runs and the reason they arrive in Fraser tribs where they are stocked in advanced condition. We spoke about this while fishing for them one day on the vedder in july.

The creek name eludes me now, but he was involved in the original stocking, so there you have it.

Beaver Creek, tributary of the Quesnel R. near Likely, thats where the brood came from
