A buddy of mine went to Laidlaw/Jones Bar yesterday morning first thing and said there were a ton of sockeye. We headed out around 3pm only to find about 70 guys with not much happening. A few guys had a fish on shore and while we were there (about 2 hours) we saw 8 or 10 fish on - not a lot for the amount of guys. My buddy was amazed at how it totally died off from the morning. We were the lucky ones tonight getting all our fish but many guys went home empty handed. It's a bit of a mystery.

If you don't have a boat the only real bar access at the moment is the Scale. The water is up at least 5 feet from this time last year. Plenty of Sockeye if you can get out though.

Fished out of Tofino for the weekend. Had our trailer axle bearing break on the way there between P ALberni and Ucluelet around 11:00 PM. Talk about a night mare. Had to replace the whole axle, jack stands, hack sawing the old rusted ubolts...Took us well into Saturday to get through it all. Eventually got to Tofino. Portland Point slow. 1 nook ~12 ibs on chovy at 115 feet. lost another good size one on green coyote at 55 feet. Lots of smaller 3-7 ib nook around. Tough to get out there as the weather systems kept moving through. First strong SE then strong NW and back and forth. Suspect the unsettled weather has spread the fish/bait or they're just not feeding as much. Good fly fishing for coho near Tonquin Isl on 1 inch silver and purple/pink flies. Firecracker herring around and cohos were jumping sporadically. Caught 3 and hooked into another dozen fly casting with heavy sink tips. Lots of coho around Catface but didn't fish for them. Trailer breakdown took a huge chunk out of the weekend. For those of you who own a boat: Really appreciate the times all the gear works without breaking. You are on borrowed time for your next headache. Cheers

Comments:

Fished Saturday and hooked three springs in first half hour on Chilliwack R. portion. One Sockeye an hour later (large - about 10 lbs). Saw quite a few springs jumping. Most of them are already coloured up. Not a bad day. I heard Sockeye on the Fraser will not open until end of July and then only on weekends (can anyone verify this). Talked to a DFO rep. Apparently, lots of problems at the weigh scale due to poor behaviour of fishers. Fish cops have been told to straighten things out. If it doesn't get any better the entire sockeye fishery on the Fraser could be closed.

Comments:

Just got back from another weekend of fishing in the inlet. I found that the fishing was very good still ended up with my two day limit quiet easily, and I am looking forward to snacking on these beutiful fish later in the winter months. As far as fishing I found that a few more of the bigger fish were around 70 feet deep in the late morning which was a nice break from the smaller ones which I was realeasing, anyways if anyone has any good spots to fly fish for coho in nanaimo area, so I can practise live releasing them it would be greatly appreciated, I would prefer fly fishing some river mouths around the beach, anyways enjoy reading the reports, good luck to everyone,

Spent a few hours fishing along the Coquitlam River on Sunday, thought I might catch some rainbows after the river was stocked two weeks ago. No luck, only caught and released some little cutthroats and coarse fish. Nice day though, it was kind of packed with swimmers, that may be the reason. Water was quite low, only a few spots were fishable. Anyway, good luck all. :-)

Fished Renfrew from July 7-15.Spring fishing was horrible for this time of year and only did well on one day with 2 springs biggest 25 pounds. Did see many other springs caught. But on the other hand the coho fishing was unbeleavable hooking over 100 coho. The biggest was 10 pounds. Fisheries are idots to think the coho are in trouble. I have never seen so many coho ever. It is stupid that their is no retention for them. Hopefully things will change.

Went to the Vedder and found myself alone with a lot of fish jumping in a pool up top. It was me, the fantastic scenery, and all those fish to myself. I couldn't believe it... Hooked into one nice spring but didn't beach it, I lost it as soon as I identified it. Caught me off guard since there were lots of big sockeyes in the river and I release them in about a foot of water. And most of the fish had lots of energy. I mean they're airborne 3,4, sometimes 5 times. My arms are hurting right now.

We have been out on the Fraser from Grassy to Mountain Bar 4 times last week. No luck and not many fish or fishing parties on the river. Just wondering what is the problem. Usually this time of year the Red Spring run is in full swing. Have we missed it?? We have been going out in the late afternoon and staying until dusk??  Thanks Linda

WOW!!!!!!! I am back from Bamfield .The fish were not big but I think that it could have been the best fishing I have ever had! WOW! The night of arrival at our cabin we managed to push ourselves to get out fishing just for an hour or two before dark, to get a "feel" for what was happening. I put the first rod out. As I was getting the second rod out the first one started to pound like crazy after only 2 minutes!!! In about a 15 minute fight I landed a 22Ib Spring! It was solid action for the next hour and a half as we landed fish after fish. We quit after about 1 3/4 hours of total fishing time with 4 springs ranging in size from 14 to 22 1bs , two 5 lb coho and 1 5lb sockeye. We released a couple of 7-8 lb spring and lost a couple of fish as well!!!!!!! The rest of the trip was similar, some days a bit slower but very good. Most fish were teenagers up to low twenties..... I have never seen so much bait in the water ....just boiling with bait everywhere... .really good to see. Greg

Comments:

Fished around the Nehaliston-Interlakes area over the weekend. Sedges hatching evey day but the hatch was light and the fishing off. Very warm water temperatures - 20 degrees in most waters right up to 5000 feet. Suspect the fish were feeding at night or early morning but drinking and nursing our hangovers occupied that time so we never got out during those times. Fished some rivers as well and they were much more consistent.

Fished on Sat morning from 6:00AM till 2:00PM. Out of 6 of us I was the only one with any luck. I had 3 springs on and landed a nice 12lb Red. I did hook 4 sockeye, which I very gently released. Out of 20+ people there I seen 5 springs taken. One guy in a boat that came up river said that there was a net across further down. They were hauling it in as he went by and it was full of springs. The fish I hooked were way out as far as I could cast. For the amount of springs coming up it has been pretty slow. Maybe it has something to do with the nets? Cheers, Mars

Hit the scale bar early on sunday. Was very slow at first. Alot of sockeye and small (8-12 lbs) springs until 8:30. Then hit a 30 lb Pig to keep. Fishing really picked up around 11:00 as several BIG pigs came out around then. Both my fishng partners came home with fish, one (hehe) was a 12 lb white spring. Saw 2 of them come out for sure. There was 2 DFO officers down there making sure everyone was fishing up to par, so if you are gonna keep fish, make sure they are hooked in the mouth. Tight Doobs!

hit the skagit valley this weekend left friday after work for the weekend.Fished the river first saturday mornight for 5 hours the fishing is like being in a dream as is the river. Started off with a size 14 c.d.c caddis as soon as the sun hit the water it was like someone turned on a switch cought about 6/7 bows between 12-17inches in the first hour. Dont forget the sun block gets very hot up there the next few hours went deep with #12 black and gold stones must of got another 6 to 7 fish that way aswell. Went back to camp (Ross lake) to get out of the sun for a bit and had lunch. Took out the boat after lunch for a couple of hours hit about 6 fish to 16 inches on a #12brown and gold beadhead stone. Get out there guys fishing like this only lasts a few months of the year dont forget to read your regs befor you go the river is catch and release and has a bait ban as for the mouth/lake 3 fish a day must be at least 14inches. --tight lines--

Fished Garibaldi Lake today (9 km hike, 800 m up, a strong hiker can make it in a bit over 2 hours easily). Beautiful day, cloudy, calm and not hot for hiking. Fishing was exceptional. Fished between 1 and 3:30 PM and landed over twenty rainbows, average size 8-13" with a few up to 1½ pounds. Used light spinning tackle, 6-LB line, No 1 silver Blue Fox with orange body. On way back tried Lesser Garibaldi and Barrier Lake, fishing was even faster but fish was in 6-9" range. Going to hike Mamquam Lake to spend a couple of days fishing soon, very excited about that. A gorgeous day.

More peamouth chubs, northern squawfish to kill some time. Lots of sockeyes moving up the river right now. About two weekends ago there was a bullhead derby held at Garry Point Park. However it wasn't bullhead that the kids caught, it was dollies! The winner was a 19 inch dollie that was caught and released.

To Sport Fish Recipients: Sockeye and Pink: The first sockeye update from the Pacific Salmon Commission was released today and was sent out to you earlier. We plan to maintain non-retention of sockeye in the Fraser River and Harrison River recreational fisheries until the Summer Run sockeye component is available for harvest which is expected to be approximately early August. It is anticipated that the fishery will only be opened for a short period (approximately 2 weeks) due to concerns for late run sockeye.

Punded the Fraser pretty hard this past weekend. Fished up and around Wellington/Grassy. Springs were pretty hard to come by. My buddy got one jack, and I lost one. Between the two of us we hooked into over 30 Sockeye. All released unharmed. Only seen 8 springs caught in the 14 hours that we were out.

We are fishing further out from the reef than normal, in 350-400ft of water and running the lines at 225-250ft. Good mix of white and red springs with an average weight of 22lbs. They are hitting mostly on blue/green combo hootchies, about half way through the ebb, with a few taken on plugs,#500 and 600.

Spent last week at Link Lake, NE of Princeton. First half of week was too windy for float tubing, but saw one guy take four really nice 15 - 20" rainbows on flies from a boat (he wouldn't tell me what he was using). An osprey grabbed a real beauty just a few feet from me later in the week, and I hooked a couple of smaller ones which I released.

Oh ya, left out one thing. Good work to the guy who was fishing the lower part of the Scale and gave the guy S_it for draggin the sockeye on shore. These public embarrassments set the standard as to what should happen to people mishandling the Sockeye.

Fished Mike Lake yesterday from 7:30 to just after 11:00. Float Tubing in the sun caught one smal one about 9 inches that I let go and had 2 more that released themselves form my olive green wooly bugger. My bro-in-law kept two nice ones released two smaller ones and also had two do the self release methode. The lake started to get a little busy later in the morning but only saw one other guy catch some trout from his row boat with his two young sons. All in all a good day fishing.

Another wonderfull Canada Day weekend spent in Ucluelet. Good fishing for all species. Our group of 14 friends took home bottom fish, 42 chinooks and 27 halibut. The salmon were smaller than last year with our biggest weighing 25 lbs. Currently fishing there is good to hot. We had a close whale encounter and a pod of Pacific Coast Dolphins ride our boat's front wake for abount 10 minutes - a memorable experience!

Fished the Broken Islands for a few days, Lots of Cohos in the 4 - 6 pound range. Used Needlefish imitation and my son used Buzz-Bombs and Zingers. Even casting from shore was very successful. 50 % of the caught fish were hatchery marked. Watch the weather if you go !!!

Have Fished in the North Arm daily, caught lots of coarse fish. Hooked a spring last week on the ultra light rod but snapped the line right away. Tried Rice Lake also, not as good as expected.

Oh yah, forgot that one of my BIG reports that was removed was about the Bowron Lake chain. My buddy and I did the circuit a week ago. Caught plenty of big lake trout in Isaac Lake on a red and white spoon trolled at the dropoff. Also hooked into three of them on trolled flies of various descriptions, but lost them all. We also caught a number of smallish rainbows and my buddy nailed a nice big one at the end of the circuit in the Bowron River. Additionally we caught numerous whitefish at Pat's Point, some Squah (gross looking, but they do fight well) and a few small kokanee. Also caught something that may have been a small Dolly. Not sure. Anyhow, I highly recommend the trip both for the scenery and for the fishing. Going before school let out ensured that the place wasn't a complete Gong Show. I suppose that September would also be a good time to go as it would be less crowded and the weather might actually be better.

 I fished Gardom Lake two days ago and Pillar Lake yesterday. Gardom was interestng as I had heard reports of bass being in the lake, but didn't completly believe them. I believe them now as I caught six using (at different times of course) a red, beadhead chironomid under a strike indicator and an olive bead-head gold-ribbed hare's ear fished in the same manner. None were too big, although one came in at 12 inches and put up a great fight. Yesterday at Pillar I caught 7 rainbows, with the largest being 15 inches and several (three, to be exact) that were sardines. I released them all. I caught them on a natural coloured bead-head hare's ear (trying to imitate the dragonfly nymphs that were certainly about) and on an elkhair caddis. There was this one fisherman there who was having no luck, so when I talked to him I gave him one of the hare's ear nymphs. He promptly hooked into a big 'bow. He kept it, and then kindly presented it to me at the end of the day because I had helped him to catch it. When I cleaned it, it was full of shrimp (large, olive). Its flesh was very pink and it was tasty as well (ate it for breakfast this morning). I'm going to go back to Pillar and try some shrimp patterns.
