I drove by the canal on Saturday noon after I went to the Peg, and walked around and watched 10 pinks by the logs, did a few cast but only got one bite from a sucker fish. The guy beside me had one on. The water is clear, but not much to be seen. We were short floating with 2 to 3 foot leaders. Probably another week or so.

We were down by the railway bridge on Saturday, nothing to be seen. We did speak to one fellow who said he'd had a couple of hits at first light, further up the river.

Small schools of pinks were moving in sporadically as of yesterday...seems that movement died off completely during the late morning/mid-day hours though...

Put in a full day on the vedder yesterday..... hooked at least 20+ pinks, limited out..... same with my buddy.... lot's of roe to cure and meat for the smoker... saw a guy fishin' a 5wt hook into a rather large spring that had him runnin' down river for his rod's life, luckily his tippet broke cuz the look of fear on that guys face was priceless. Pinks are definately moving into the system now.... a great day, lot's of sun, and pops and sunburn.... :beerchug:

Cheers,

Jah

Wow! You certainly had a different experience than the other two fellas on this post. Please enlighten us! :thumbup:

ya i dont know, i went there sat for 3 hours found a pocket of fish but could not hook up on the fly. looked for 1 hour before i found any holding fish. the only fish i seen hooked where on the new bottom bouncing with a float setup that you see everyone snagging with these days.

 

[gutchucker]

are there coho in the vedder yet ? anyone been down to the mouth ? cheers

 

[Steelie Trav]

I managed one pink on the fly yesterday as a school was passing by. Otherwise nothing, a few of them are holding in spots but I sure couldn't entice a bite out of them.

There are lots of pinks in the Sumas right now. I've personally known of 2 wild coho taken and 3 hatchery jack cohoes.

Where does one access the Sumas to chuck some flies around?

I've been out in the canal for the last number of days and have limited out on pinks each day...lots of fish on the edges (around the trees, etc.)

 

[FISHTHIS]

Could you tell us more about what time of day and what you are throwing to limit out each day? I will be fishing the vedder next week and would love to limit out each day. What are having the most luck with?

I keep hearing a run forecast of 10 million; how does that rank? (And....how accurate is that????). Also, which of those take a left turn or right on their way up ???

Fished the lower canal yesterday from 7 a.m. till noon. Saw scores of fish surfacing and frothing about. Hooked two on a spoon, and my partner had several hits on roe by coho jacks. :thumbup: King of the river though was an older gent in his boat who kept nailing fish after fish! From what we could tell he was using a little pink jig and giving the herk and jerk along the bottom. Saw him bring in some nice chrome fish. :happy: Water was slow so the fishing was a little tougher, but if you bring what they want, there's definitely a lot of fish in the lower part of the system.

I was out there last Thursday, Fly Fishin the canal (Mouth). Was using a #8 "Rajah" on a slime line and was into the Pinks on almost every cast. I got one Coho jack also. I tied a few for my buddies, gave them my small boat and they hit it yesterday and were into them consistantly. Unfortunately, I was Golfing and couldn't hit the flow. :'(
