Try dropping something pink in West van Indian. River pinks passing thru now

Not trying to discredit you or anything but are you actually getting/seeing them or is this just heard from a buddy info? I just haven't seen or heard any indian pinks yet

 

[Scalper66]

Note the date they always pass by around now no one seems to relize it ever tho

I caught one on Sunday further south than Vancouver... So I'd say they are around..

An Indian Pink? What are you talking about? A pink from the Indian River?

1 teen Chinook at the hump at 70’.

The Hump is still closed?

I think everyone's a little confused about the boundaries.

Could be. I was fishing for coho so everything else went back in the drink anyway.

Ended up with 1 teen Chinook and 1 wild coho in 3.5 hrs. Saw a couple Bon Chovy boats who reported slow fishing as well.

Spectacular weather.

Did well over at entrance yesterday and today. Bait and hoochies at 115 and 130.

Had to send back some overs, thanks DFO... I am sure this HATCHERY oversized spring will make it past the slide area... to the mystery hatchery up that way.

If we’re talking about the same Hump, There should be no confusion about where the hump is, 29-3 and open to fishing just not retention for springs.

There's The Hump and then there's The Humps. No confusion at all .

I have not caught many Pinks in the Indian Arm. It is full of jellyfish. I caught one casting a small pink buzz-bomb at the cliffs by the powerhouse.
However West Van beach/Dundarave produces like crazy some years, as well as out near point atkinson. They start out hitting red spoons, then switch to red squirts. 20' near the beach and deeper out at the point. fish enter the river starting in early august,

Can intercept fresh schools early on but by the time they are at Brighton /wigwam they are stale , non biting . Every Romanian in the lower mainland is up there ripping the asses out of them .

So we’re allowed to keep Chinook now if I’m reading the dfo site correctly? How did they decide to open it here and not other areas?

Keep depends on where you’re fishing. If anyone has an answer as to how the DFO makes their decisions, good luck with that.
