Sockeye Salmon on Fraser River 

Awesome! Thanks Jay for the encouraging message.

Thanks for checking out the website. My recommendation for Alouette River, is look at the river on Google Maps and focus on bridges across the river.

Thanks for the comment Jason. With the amount of Sockeye in the Fraser River right now there are no magic spots, as most sandbars between Chilliwack and Hope will produce fish. This one is closer to Hope.

@@BCFishingJournal the bars you mention along the Fraser from Vancouver through to New west. Are they spots one could catch sockeye bottom bouncing? For instance foreshore park or north arm by queensborough bridge

@@andreabruno5495 The river changes each year, but if they open Sockeye I’d recommend looking on Google maps for runs between Chilliwack and Hope (plenty of places to fish).

Good question, I have heard of some guys doing this. However that approach is not typical as the Fraser water clarity is pretty poor on the run timing, so challenging for fish to see you bait. Also I’m no Fraser River Sockeye expert but I know these fish are more lockjaw in these upper sections of the river (many miles inland from ocean) where anglers can target them. So it’s a tough fishery in these conditions!
