I tend to wonder if they are the Harrison run or Squamish runs? Understanding the Frazer run is still yet to come! After experiencing the same results 3 weekends in a row it has to be a banner year for either. the DFO reports only post Fraser. Anyone seen anything reported for these others Harrison/Squamish?

My boat partner bought a Humpy Killer combo from Canadian Tire. I laughed when he brought it on board and I had zero faith in it. White flasher with no flash and it was already tied from swivel to double hook on a very large very bright pink hootchie. All I did was shorten the leader and pinch barbs. It out-fished the other 2 rods combined using pink squirt and 3rd rod was a mix pink squirt, white hoochie, no bananas skinny G.

I purchased 4 from an online retailer for the up coming pink season. Should be here the next couple of weeks. Good reviews but your results today has renewed my faith and cannot wait to give them a try. Thanks.

I have a very uneducated guess they were not Squamish. Harrison or Vedder would be my bet.

I've seen someone buy crankbait style lures from AliExpress that look identical to a goldfish. It could not possibly resemble any bait in our waters, but hey, the guy gets results with it! Go figure!

Picked up a couple of these cheep a few years ago... apply some tape and cut the hoochie down and they are killer for kokanee.

Surprising amount of large sockeye in the mix at south Bowen. Quick reminder to double check whats in your net!

South Bowen - 1pm - 4pm, 4 pink and 1 nice hatch coho.45-55', green hootchie most productive.
The DFO really keeps numbers hard to come by.
With all the brutal cuts to sport fisher’s opportunities you would think they would post any positives but maybe the numbers are not what they seem.

Similiar action for us at South Bowen. We hooked a dozen in four hours. Kept 5 all in nice shape. Some big ones too! Cleaned and iced immediately and tasted great.
