Any one know when the pinks start to come in the river?????



Thanks Springking

Last year the river was full of salmon in August. All the reports were saying you catch you limit in the first 15mins with anything pink with a hook on it thrown in the water . I was all excited to go when my car died last year and I couldn't drive up from Victoria.

This year I have to go to North Carolina in August for work so I get the big suck again.

Heading up tomorrow to check it out.....have heard good things so far. Will report back....

there are just starting to trickle in now but still 95% of the people getting skunked. id say one more week before even trying or focus on hi tides

Thinking of trying the \campbell in the next few days. Looking for some advice. I will be fly fishing, do people recommend sink tip or dry line with a long leader and weighted fly? Taking my dad for his first trip and hope to get him into fish.
Thanks.

Onthefly, I use a floating line with either an intermediate or fast sink tip. Use a bead head fly, you need to get down to the fish and they are just above the rocks laying on the bottom. Let your line do a full swing then short retrieves. Don't be afraid to try a purple handlebar as a change from pink.

i heard some are showing and ppl are catching so....... holmes*

Tried it out today. Lots of fish moving in. Decided on a full sink and a weighted fly as the water is on the fast side. Landed one and broke my rod on it. Good thinkg it has a lifetime warranty.

How long does the run usually last? The earliest I can get up there is 26-Aug.

The run seems to be later than last year so, I think it will still be happening. Call The RiverSportsman before you come up and double check.
