Indian River questions

[Alexievich]

Just wondering what the fishing is like in the Indian River (at the head of Indian Arm on the mainland).

- Are there significant Salmon runs?
- The regs indicate "no fishing for Chinook" but are there runs of other species?
- Where is the tidal boundary for this river? Is it marked by fisheries? (The tidal areas seem open for business according to the regs)

I'm looking to do some flyfishing in the area this fall and heard there might be a late pink run. Any guidance?

Cheers,
Alex

Joe,

Thanks for the heads up. I "had" been tying some small flies like the ones that worked up in Campbell River a few weeks ago (#4-6 shrimp in pink with sparkle chenille or translucent green weedwacker cable tied like a shrimp with a smattering of flashabou).

I guess I'll tie up a bunch of popsicle patterns in pink, green, green and blue and pink/green; all with something to weight them down.

I hope there's a run this year, but like you said, won't know till I get there mid Sept.

Cheers,
Alex
