CHILLIWACK / VEDDER RIVER |
|
A few Coho have started showing in the hatchery. Water levels are low and clear. The best fishing will be early morning and late evenings. Try using small Colorado blades, peach yarn or procured roe. There will be increasing numbers of fish daily especially if we get some rainfall.

FRASER RIVER |

The fishing for Sockeye has been very good since the opening. There was a commercial opening on September 6th & 7th, which will impact the number of fish in the system. The Chinook fishing has improved with good numbers of red and whites being caught. Sockeye retention is still 2 Sockeye above Mission Bridge and 4 Sockeye below Mission Bridge. Fishing times are from 1 hour before sunrise until 1 hour after sunset until further notice.
Sturgeon fishing is good as there is lots of big fish. Best bait: Sockeye parts, roe, eulichans, and dew worms.

The cooler weather will definitely improve catch rates in our local lakes. Ross Lake and the Skagit have been productive this week.

Cooler conditions are improving catch rates in all lakes. Thompson River fishermen are reporting "good" numbers of jack Springs being taken on roe.
