Hey, new to this forum and wondering if anyone knows what the word is on when the sockeye season is closing. Want to hit the water this weekend for a few more sockeye for the freezer.

Probably open till after ther weekend.

we'll try the SA Sunday

I don’t even think they need to “ close “ it , the fish are moving into the river and a bit of interception here and there makes minimal difference to this large Adams’s , the fish will just thin more and more everyday till the next 4 year go

Buddies were out yesterday morning....unfortunately for the low tide and said it was slow. Reading the report above mentioning it getting hot in the afternoon around the high makes sense.

Thanks Pippen , you hit the nail on the head its all a high tide fishery there .. Thanks for report

That was exactly the case yesterday for the high slack. As soon as the rigger ball hit the bottom, around 4 pm, we had a strike. There was steady action for an hour on chovies with purple flashers. All hatchery coho at the bottom. 120 feet on the rigger between the Capilano mouth and the pier. Saw quite a few other nets out too until about 6 pm when it slowed down.

Guess no one was out today in this beautiful weather ?

Get rid of that picture and you'll get some response.

Tried the Cap in the afternoon from 1 until 4:45. Came home with 2 springs, one small female and a 16 lb buck. Some coho salmon were hitting and chased the baits up towards the surface, and I lost a small hatchery one at the boat when buddy had his 16 on. Most bites were about 4'off bottom. Heavy glow, big teaser heads best. West end, east end, and btw berms all produced along the standard beat. Good luck.

I'm out at sand heads any one see the fishes????

 

[Normfish]

Maybe if I had a salmon hanging out of my mouth, more people would answer my questions .

Is this better Jimfish?

Looks like Chinook is open? Sockeye and Coho closed?

 

[Fixit]

21.xx lbs won the derby. I ended up getting a floater coat for a 12.00 Lb spring!

For coal ports 29-6

I read it as Chinook non retention until September 30th. Sockeye and hatch coho open.
