So as predicted, the last decent run of Sockeye are heading up the Fraser and those that got out on the water today were rewarded for their efforts. The fish were there and as you can see remarkably clean which is a bonus. Having some of these fish make it through the system will bode well for the Adams river run which will arrive up in the Shuswap by Thanksgiving. If you ever have a chance, it is one of the spectacular views that nature provides us here in British Columbia to see the Adams River turned red and green with sockeye battling for the right to spawn.
The coho were definately off the Ambleside beaches in West Vancouver and while the fisherman were going nuts due to all the boats the fish were equally nuts leaping out of the water and putting a show for all the people out walking and enjoying this last weekend of summer. The best place for casting is at the mouth at low to rising tide and then at high tide between John Lawson Park and Dundarave pier.
So if you can't make it to the gravel bars in Chilliwack or Hope tomorrow for Sockeye then a quick launch at Ambleside will put you into fish. The coho are pretty focused on getting up river so expect to cast or troll a lot of gear to find the ones that will sacrifice themselves onto a hook.
