Current Report
Fraser Valley report for the
week of October 19, 2004
Weekly update
Fraser River / Fraser Valley
Report
Salmon
Salmon fishing in the Fraser
Valley is now at its peak.
Most rivers and tributary
sloughs are getting good
returns of Coho and Chum
Salmon. Fraser River bars
above and below Mission are
all producing good catches of
both Chum and Coho. Below
Mission bridge, try Duncan
Bar or Two Bit Bar for Coho.
Above Mission try fishing
Bowmans, Hendersons, Updown
Bar or Strawberry Island.
Most anglers are bar fishing
with cured salmon row or
casting spoons and spinners
near the shoreline. Best bite
is during the incoming tide.
Sturgeon
Sturgeon fishing has
continued to be spectacular.
We have been landing many
fish between 4-7 feet with
our largest fish coming out
on Monday. This monster was
caught by Ross Nursey who is
visiting us from the UK.
Measuring over 8 feet long,
estimated weight 300 + lbs.
Ross also managed to hook
into one of the largest Coho
Ive seen in awhile,
estimated weight 17 lbs.
Some of the best fishing is
yet to come, we still have
some great days available in
the first week of November.
If your looking for some
spectacular trophy fishing,
nows the time to BOOK.
Fall Salmon fishing
Opportunities and
availability update.
As most of you probably know,
October and November are two
of the most spectacular
months for salmon, sturgeon,
fly fishing and wildlife
viewing. Although this is our
busiest time for bookings, we
still have some excellent
dates available. If your
wanting to experience some of
the best sport fishing
British Columbia has to
offer, dont miss out on this
falls salmon and sturgeon
fishing opportunities.
Vedder River
Local anglers are reporting
fair to good catches of
salmon. This week we saw a
bit of a set back with water
clarity but the river should
be in fine shape by the
weekend. I would expect a
good push of Coho entering
the Vedder this week as we
are near the peak of the run
on this river. Once the
Vedder slows, try fishing the
north tributaries of the
Fraser.
.
Harrison River
The Harrison River is loaded
with Chum Salmon. Good
numbers of Coho moving in
this week as well. We saw
quite a few fish enter the
river the past couple days so
fishing this weekend should
be good. Best method has been
casting spoons and spinners
near the shoreline. Fly-
fishing has been producing
good catches of Chum a bit
slow for Coho. That should
change as we get into peak
fishing on this river.
FLY FISHING FOR SALMON SEMINAR
We are once again offering
our fly fishing for salmon
seminar scheduled for
November 6 & 7. This is a one
day seminar where you will
learn all you need to know
about fly fishing for Coho
and Chun salmon. The cost is
$135.00 per person for this
6 hour Harrison River
Fishout. More info see

Nov 6 Sold Out
Nov 7 Sold Out
Nov 8 4 spots
Stave River
The Stave River full of Chum
Salmon. You can target these
fish from shore by accessing
the park on the east side of
the Dam. Anglers fishing the
slow water are producing some
nice Coho on both Fly and
Spoons.
Dewdney Slough
The Dewdney is now starting
to produce some nice Coho.
Tides this week have been
fairly high bringing in a
good push of fish. Fishing
the incoming tide is best for
targeting fresh fish. Again,
spoons and flys work well
but also trolling spinners is
very productive.
Have fun, enjoy the
spectacular fishing while it
lasts.
Spend a Weekend with Fly

Brown Fly Fishing Association
