It should be time for some springs at the Cap? Any luck?

was there on Sunday morning and there were a good number of Springs hooked. Our boat got 4 mid to high teens. The two Springs we kept were marbled. Also noticed a ton of Coho jumping along the Stanley Park shoreline but nobody seemed to be able to hook any including us.
Tried dragging around the usual anchovy or hootchie and flasher combos to no avail. Watched a few boats running around chasing jumping schools and casting lures but they didn't have any luck either.
I know they are probably staging Cap river fish which can be notorious for not biting but was wondering if anyone has cracked the code?
chinook..? springs..well they arrive a little earlier. not to be a smart butt and im no
scientist. Not unlike winter and summer
run steelhead...similar but there is a
difference...
Now how to distinguish the difference between a winter feeder..spring..
and a chinook may be determined
solely by when it is caught but each
species has a vastly dissimilar path.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet?
I was at the hatchery on Sunday and only the coho (small ones) had made it that far. Soooooooo the big ones may be hanging around the mouth of the Cap for next two weeks?

My apologies to all and admin for a non-report on report thread - I will be quick. - Oncorhynchus tshawytscha refers to both "Chinook" and "Spring" . The names are interchangeable. Another words with reference to your original post, the words "Chinook" and "Spring" don't tell you anything about their age or when or where they are encountered. "Immature", "winter" , "mature", "terminal" , "Jack" ( and your added "Feeder" ) are all terms used to provide more specific information about Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ( Chinook; Spring).
It seems you may have assumed that the terms "Chinook" and "Spring" were used to describe an age or time encountered and not terms that one can use interchangeably hence this may have confused others.
As I mentioned in my previous report, there where large numbers of Coho jumping along the west side of Stanley Park near shore.A rose by any other name would smell as sweet?

Although we saw a few Coho caught at between the Pink Apartment and mouth of the Cap, I say the bulk of the Cap Coho are staging along the west side of Stanley Park.
A few of the fish we saw jumping were in the 10+lb range but the bulk of them were 4-6lbs.
From other reports, river anglers have been doing very well yesterday afternoon. The weekend rain has sent a lot of fish up river.

Excerpts from todays panel.
The Fraser River Panel met Monday, September 17, to receive an update on the migration of the Fraser Sockeye runs to date and review the status of migration conditions in the Fraser River watershed. Gill net test fishery catches in the Fraser River have continued to fluctuate for the past several days with Whonnock catches peaking at 156 on September 15, followed by a drop to 66 on September 16. Cottonwood catches have also fluctuated but at slightly higher levels peaking at 265 on September 14 followed by a drop to 58 on September 15 and 76 on September 16. Daily Mission escapement estimates increased significantly from 26,400 on September 12 to 154,100 on September 15 and 152,500 on September 16. The estimated total Sockeye escapement past Mission to September 16 is 4,452,800.
The current estimate for holding Late Run fish is quite uncertain at this time and is likely between 1.3 and 3.0 million fish. During the Panel meeting today there were no changes made to the run size or Management Adjustments for Early Summer, Summer or Late run management groups.
Retention of sockeye in marine recreational fisheries began on August 1 and remains open while the in-river fishery in the lower Fraser River is currently closed to retention of sockeye. The marine recreational fishery will remain open to sockeye retention until further notice but may be closed with 48 hours notice in the coming two weeks.
Future fishing opportunities will be determined following the next Panel meeting on Wednesday, September 19. The next Panel meeting will be on Wednesday, September 19 at 1 p.m.
