Pinks on the beach

[specbelly]

Anyone know if the pinks are showing up on the beches around Campbell River, Courteney area yet. Sould be real soon if not yet

[TyTy]

I've heard some have entered the campbell river. If so, there are not many yet. certainly not like last year.

[specbelly]

It has been years since I fished the beaches and for the life of me cannot remember when they normally show up. I have my granson coming AUg 10 and was wondering it anyione in the know could let me know when they nortmally show on the beaches

I still think it is a little too early yet. We slayed last year towards the end of August.

There should be lots showing up at the mouth of the Oyster, also nile creek give the guys at Nile Creek Fly Shop call they will tell you where they are. And yes there are lots in the Campbell River to.

I was fishing the south arm of the Fraser this afternoon. One boat at the dock had 13 pinks in the boat. Caught them of the Sand heads. If they're there, they've already past CR!!!

Different fish, Steelco. There's a massive run predicted for the Fraser, but many coastal streams in southern waters will have pink runs this year, including the Campbell and the Oyster.

Didn't know that, thx

when we camped at Miracle Beach Provincial campground,there were pinks showing pretty close to shore,didn't see anybody beach fishing though

pink fishing off the shore has been slow this year so far in campbell river. nothing like last year, although they are catching lots from a boat in browns bay. might be late as la nino , ocean temperatures, and poor spring and summer weather conditions. generally had success on shore previous years , when high tides correlate with early morning and evening times, which was early august. might take the kids down tonight to give it a shot
