Wow great video, I made it out this morning but got spooked when the river was suddenly up to my waist. I was over by Khahanie park and was watching for the sirens and light but I don't think they came on until after the dam opened up. I'll have to make it out sometime again this week and probably try spots that are a little safer.
@@bugpumperjournal thanks, I have some from last year, not sure if that will work since it's my first time curing roe and keeping it for close to a year in freezer
Why is it so dangerous? Does the water level change quickly? Like within seconds type of thing? I'm curious if you don't go in at all or you're only in up to your ankles how that can become dangerous?

Thank God he is safe ! nice vid and nice catch ! may I ask what were you using as bait / lure?
Hi Joseph! I was using roe for bait, hope you have some.

@Chris's Vancouver fishing journal. Nice catches..damn, was this today? That guy was pretty weighted down, lucky the river was low.
Crazy huh? This was just last week, he tried wading across this river!
@@bugpumper that is nuts..he was lucky and nice of you to help him out with the ride, cheers!
He was washed down the river and still held on to his rod! He's luckier that the poor soul we pulled out of the river 25 years ago.rip
Nice catch haha! Just have a quick question. What is the best time of a day to fish jack? I didn’t get any bites other than first light…
you're right, that usually is the best time. Otherwise if your are fishing the lower river fish they come in with the rising tide.
When is the next run? Do spinners and crankbaits (replaced to one inline hook) work for salmon too?
Hi Kavish, they start trickling in again soon. I usually take my first trips in May. Spinners work but not as well as the fly does.
Hi Chris, how do you access from west side? I have been twice, sorry could not find access point to come down.
Hi! Go uphill on Taylor way and turn right on Keith rd, go to the end where you can park under the highway Bridge. there's a trail down right there.
Hey is the cap open right now?
? It never closes!
ahh you must be asking because of the salt water non retention. Yep, it's open.
Don't forget about the bait ban during the summer.
How deep should I be fishing at that spot from float to hook ?
Hi Oliver! Depending on the water height at the time it's usually 31/2 to 4 feet. You want to suspend your weights and bait just off the bottom.
@@bugpumper thank you very much can’t wait to get out the next June and catch some early coho!
Can I use 6 pound test? As leader? Or mainline?
as leader, 10lb mainline.
@@bugpumper do they average 6 pounds
@@silascheng6004 no, 2 -6lbs.
How much leader from the float to hook
1 1/2 feet from swivel to hook.
Which part of the river is it?
Holy shit fishing guy do u have to comment on every single piece of media regarding fishing in Vancouver?
when was this?
Alex, just last week.
where on the river is this?
the highway bridge.
any trout go through this river?
yes, there are resident rainbows in there.
What time is best to go
Silas, early or late in the day.
Good karma
I don’t fish this river anymore it’s to dangerous people die there every year
I get you. If you just don't wear waders it's soo much safer.
@@bugpumperyeah not bringing waders is definitely a smart choice on the capalano
