FISHING: Good
The river level is holding with slight ups and downs daily. There is very little debris flow and visibilty is good for bar fishing. This could be the peak for the year with the snow pack under the average and some of the main tributary rivers levels such as the Thompson now dropping quickly. We can expect some good Chinook fishing during June with ideal water conditions due the the lower run-off. Many of the productive gravel bars are out of the water which provide opportunity for the bar angler and bottom bouncer. Numbers of fish so far this year have been down but the past few days it has improved. Most if the fish are 10-25 pounds but we did see some big fish over the past several days with the biggest a womping 56 pounder. Sturgeon fishing has been decent with some very good days and some more of a challenge. You may want to venture down to the mouth of the Sumas where it meets the Fraser for some Chinook. Trolling spoons, casting or fishing bait can be very worthwhile at this time of year. It is an option if the Fraser has poor visibility. Be sure to check on the water conditions on the Vedder before heading out.
