It's been slow but steady, now that the water levels have somewhat stabilized.
I'm hoping to get up there this weekend.
Sockeye will not be open soon enough for me

 Heard that FJ. Me and Junkie are hoping for the sockeye opener this year too, due to the fact they took it away from us last year...

Yeah, I heard it is supposed to be the best in 15 years...the chug boats should be full every morning by 3 am. I am thinking gang busters this year. If you've never seen the circus of the sockeye run, it is worth the price of admittion!

I heard the same report. MM you are welcome to come up anytime.
And Craven.... The annual license with salmon stamp is $110.00 US and will DEFINITELY worth it.
I've heard rumors that july 20th is a potential opening date. But, I will keep you updated.

Yep, you see all kinds. Last time up, I saw a sit-down jet ski smoking up river, must have been doing 50mph. He had 3 rod holders mounted on it. My personal favorite is seeing a loaded car-topper bucking the current moving about 3mph.

Fraser is still pretty good for Chinooks. Expect the sockeye season to start "around" August 7 and go until the long weekend in September.

Barf'n seems to be the most productive method for catching kings. Big spin-n-glows and a LOT of lead

Aug 9th still looking like a potential sockeye opening.
But with the water temp the way it is, they are concerned with mortality and may delay.
Hopefully, rain and cooler temperatures will provide the much needed cooling effect.

Hit the Fraser Saturday. No fish. Only saw a few fish caught. Turns out Friday was the day to be there.
Lots of nets  , but fun day on the water with my son.
