Haven't seen a whole lot of pinks in the river, nothing of what it usually is anyways, still a little early i suppose.

Just looking for any info on pinks up at Browns bay. My little guy wants me to take him up there for the evening on Thursday. I am heading up there regardless but if anyone knows if there are pinks to be caught it would be helpful.
I will post after I get back.
Thx

Yah there's fish there. Not lots, but they are there. Last monday we were up at Chatham Point looking for springs fishing anchovies at 130-140 feet, and it was real hectic for pinks. We stopped at Browns and picked up a few more. Like I said , we were fishing for springs so we were deeper. I imagine if you were at the appropriate depth70-90 feet using pink stuff you would do better. I imagine this rain might get them coming down closer to Browns. Seems awful late though....

Pinks were everywhere along the wall. Best family fun fishing I have had in a long time. Hooked about 8 got 4 in the boat and had what was the biggest Chinook on the line fighting for 10 minutes that I have fought. Unfortunately we never got to see it. Still lots of fun and all between 6 and 8pm.
I hope to get there again this week.
Cheers

Just a word of caution... there are sockeye showing up. One guide I talked to got his guests into 6 pinks and 6 socks today. I got two as well. I doubt that everyone can identify them, let alone know that they are closed.

Might have been safer not to post anything...Now people know they are there. I am sure they will release them along with the unclipped hatchery coho and the black gummed coho.

The seiners were in the area passed couple of days for a "pink" opening but who knows what comes into the nets and what is done with the incidentals.

It should be a good fishery this year but because of no sockeye fishing and limited pink fisheries due to sockeye conservation I think the seiners will be in hords this year leaving scraps for the rec guys I.M.O.P!
