Fraser River barfishing for salmon, part two

For more fishing videos, please visit: http://www.fishingwithrod.com

Every July and August, hundreds of thousands of chinook salmon make their way through British Columbia's mighty Fraser River to their natal streams for spawning. At the stretch between Chilliwack and Hope, a fishing technique known as barfishing is commonly used to catch these prized fish.

In this video series, Nick Basok and Chris Gadsden of the Fraser Valley Salmon Society explain the setups and techniques of barfishing. Nick Basok is a retired hatchery technician and currently a staff at the Chilliwack Dart and Tackle. Both Nick and Chris have many decades of fishing experience in the Fraser Valley.

In part two of this video series, Nick continues explaining the general terminal tackle that you need in this fishery, with a surprise interruption near the end.

Great video; I get the idea, though, that you guys are leaving 16-oz lead weights all over the bottom of the river... That can't be good for anyone :(

@TheIronRing Thanks. The weight does not break off very often actually, even though the explanation in the video sounds like it. We lose perhaps one if we are unlucky and end up fishing in front of a snag.

Perfect ending to this part.
