I´ve seen many of the fishingwithrod vids today.. Nice taste in music :)

Rod, why are the fish jumping? Maybe a dumb question but I am curious.

Thanks.

[fishingwithrod]

@bowriverblog Perhaps to avoid predators or rid the sea lice on their body. I don't think anyone truly knows as most are just speculations.

[Bagjo123]

@fishingwithrod - if I where a salmon I would jumps as high as I could.

[XXXDarkdizXXX]

@fishingwithrod maybe just for the fun of it??

[bowriverblog]

@bowriverblog Thanks Rod, I love to see the fish dance like that. Sounds like many fish are coming back to their spawning grounds. I love to see the fishery alive and kicking. Thanks for sharing your passion with other fishermen like me. Cheers, Mike.

Wow 9 sockeye? Where is south arm

[nostology]

Thanks Rod, liked the music too.

[TeamRippnLipz1]

That was bad ass

[gunnihel]

is there no fly fishing up-river?

[fishingwithrod]

@gunnihel Fly fishing opportunities are available anywhere along the Fraser River. In the tidal portion, the water is slow enough for you to cast out and strip with fish striking it at times. In the sections further upstream, most fish are caught by flossing and the atmosphere is not ideal for fly fishing. The lower stretch of the Harrison River where it enters the Fraser River can be great for fly fishing as the water is slow and clear enough to get an actual bite.

fishing boats with nets... Those Basterds!

[AswesomeGallade444]

We've been Fishing The South Arm of The Fraser River. Amazing! We are amateur but still we got 9 soxs.

[fishingwithrod]

@AswesomeGallade444 Good on you. Trolling from a boat just outside of South Arm? Nice video on pink salmon from a boat BTW.

beatiful..

[jjhendo]

Outstanding!!

[TXBucksnort]

that is some cool footage

[MrGetthenet]

Hey thanks for the cool video Rod ... Question? What body of water is this in the video and can we fish it for the Sockeye there? Plus if the answer is yes ... what is the limit? Once again thank you for always coming up with the best infor .... Let me know on my Channel ... Thanks MrGetthenet / Calvin

[fishingwithrod]

@MrGetthenet This was filmed at the mouth of the Fraser River. Fishing for sockeye salmon is currently opened but Fisheries and Oceans Canada may issue a closure at anytime as salmon fishing is typically closed in September in this area. Fishing is most successfully done by trolling from a boat just outside the river mouth. Fishing from shore can be done with spincasting lures but the chance of getting a bite is generally pretty slim.

[MrGetthenet]

@fishingwithrod .. Thanks for the wonderful feedback.. All your knowlegde makes for great help .. Once again thank you Rod, for the educational videos.

[iloveboxcars]

[FishCatcher111]

Noce video. It brings good thoughts to my mind.

[Slyppher]

Nice.

[TheEliteFisherMan]

Awesome man, are you guys having any luck landing them?

[fishingwithrod]

@TheEliteFisherMan Nope. Haven't been fishing for them actually.

[hydroida]

just looks so awesome...

[GospelFisherman]

Thanks for the post. That looks so fun wish I could be there.

[justinosmond]

Why are there so many salmon coming back this year? The same is true of some rivers in Newfoundland where I fish. Many runs were double their 5 year average. Any thoughts?

[fishingwithrod]

@justinosmond The amount of fish returning generally depends on what goes on in the ocean (the amount of groceries, predation, temperature, etc). These factors remains relatively unknown by us so the number of fish returning is usually estimated/guessed by determining how many smolts went into the ocean and how much each factor has influenced the run. Because salmon from the same run all reproduce at the same time, a slight change in these factors may alter the run size significantly.
