Yeah, it's always sad to see people arguing over a fishing spot, tangled lines, etc. or even worse fighting which I've seen a few times during the Sockeye run at the Fraser River. Nowadays, I go out fishing mainly for R & R and if I get a fish or two, well, that's a bonus <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>.

You may avoid these mishaps by moving to another location like when a fight occured at the Vedder River I just drove up to the Chilliwack River and successfully fished some nice heads, pools, holes, and tails all to myself. Explore the river to find new secluded areas to fish and knowing how to read a river will allow you a greater degree of success. Now if your fishing the Fraser River it's always good to know someone who owns a boat <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> or get a guide if you want to avoid the crowds.

I will be heading out july 1st with the new rod brother inlaw and sister inlaw. Both are fairly new to fishing last year took them to the vedder for so C&R chum fishing. After hooking 20 or so beasts they themselves were hooked on fishing. Speaking of the Fraser i would like to try something different and was wondering if anyone fished with spoons and if so How did you tie it up. Do yo need a long leader from the weight? is it a cast and reel in or could you actually bottom bounce a spoon ? Or should i just stick to wool and corkies. Thanks

It's possible to fish with Spoons but not always effective.
Later in the season when the river has cleared a bit cast downstream at a 45 degree angle and let the spoon wobble across keeping it off the bottom but just-make sure it completes it's swing don't touch it until it stops.
You have to be in the right spot though-if other guys are bar fishing you don't want to get in their way.
Works well on the Skeena for sure.

that's why there's a warranty!

The water was high and fast at the Fraser River on Monday. We tried our luck near Island 22; my 2 buddies and I each had one hook up but the adrenalin rush was short lived. Maybe next time our luck will change :)

Hey Vern best thing for you to do is stop in at a local fishing store and buy yourself a map of the fraser river which will show you bars and holes that produce fish regulary. Try Berry's bait in richmond, fred's custom tackle or hub's sports. They will also tell you what's been hot for the last couple of days. Places like laidlaw and herling island are good places to fish as you don't require a boat. If you do have a boat it opens up a whole new fishery where you can have a spot all to yourself. Best to know the river as it can be very dangerous. As for camping i would start looking now on the web and reserve it asap. Most spots will already be taken as we are in short supply in the valley. log onto fishbc and read some of the older post and ask some questions as you have fellow americans on it that know a great deal. Who knows they may even become a new fishing buddy.
Good luck
