Local Saltwater-
It's finally starting to look more positive in our local Saltwater. Howe Sound has been picking up in the last few days, quite a few fish had been picked up in the 15 to 25 lb range; Grace Island and Hole in the Wall have been producing the bulk of the fish. Fishing should continue to pick up out there until the end of the Squamish Chinook run. Most of the fish reported in the Sound have beenin depths between 60 & 120 ft of water. 5.5 inch Anchovies and or 6-7 inch herring fished in various Teaser Heads behind a flasher will be your best bet. We have been hearing some decent reports the last few days from Vancouver Harbour and Pt.Grey. The North and south end of Galiano was hot a week and a half ago but we haven't heard anything since. The mouth of the Fraser is now open for springs. A size limit is in effect until august 8th, in subareas 29-6, 29-7, 29-9 and 29-10, you may only retain 2 springs which must be greater than 62cm and less than 77cm. A few fish have been reported off the sand heads but the size restrictions seem to have forced most guys to fish elsewere. Effective June 1, 2008 to september 30, 2008, you may retain one Lingcod per day in areas 13 to 19, and subareas 20-5, 20-6, 20-7, and 29-5. Area 28 and the balance of area 29 will remain closed due to continued concern for low abundance. We have heard of a few reports from the Westcoast, but it is still a little early yet.
Now is a great time to bring in your downriggers for servicing and repairs, so you are ready for fishing!
Tidal Fraser-
Effective June 1st, 2008: subareas 29-6-7-9 and 10 are open for retention of chinook. The daily limit is two(2) per day with a minimum length of 62cm. Fair numbers of Jack Springs have been reported from the local bars, Fishing with roe is the most productive method for the lower river. Spoon and spinner fishing will be worth a try once the river clears up a bit. Sturgeon fishing has been picking up in the lower river. We have been hearing good reports from shore fisherman off of #5 Rd. and the Dump Bar. All of the popular sturgeon holes from Bella Coola Fisheries, and up river have been producing fish in the 3 to 5 foot range and a few big hogs have been hooked as well. Eulachons and lamprey eels have been working the best. Fresh salmon roe and dew worms are worth a shot as well.
