Nice Pics. My wife and I were out there last week and had a gas, other than loosing an anchor. Looks like you spent some time at Pegleg. Water was sure getting tight there. Crowded but lots of fish being caught.

you got that right , shoulder to shoulder on the shoreline , just glad we were in a boat , made life much easier

FisherGrrrl · #11 09-22-2010, 11:04 PM

Awesome pictures! I just got back from Chilliwack about 4 weeks ago. Shoulder to shoulder for the most part but found a nice logging road to a sand bar. Saw a couple 7 foot sturgeon hooked too. Awesome sockeye run this year! Continued to the coast to for some pinks

it was a great trip as well so I thought to share some pictures too

marlin1 · #12 09-22-2010, 11:28 PM

How was fishin ( wishin ) at the Berland river on the weekend Fishergrrrl ?

pitw · #16 09-28-2010, 05:40 PM

Outstanding pics of what looked like an awesome trip.

FisherGrrrl · #17 09-28-2010, 08:08 PM

It was just "okay". The spot was beautiful. Was able to wade out to a sand bar in the middle of the river that dropped down into a deep hole. The other bank side was a solid rock wall. Way to windy for the fly rod though and the current close to me was quicker then the drift I was trying to fish.. soooo all in all it was tough fishing, only pulled 3 grayling out. Definately want to try it out again though! People were pulling them out with there spin reels consistantly.

The fish in the box is a chinook. Very broad tail, and spots. Coho have silver flecks on their tales and VERY little spots if any. Also coho are usually streamlined, and that fish is a big, thick hunk of muscle. The chinook is also turning, and they turn darkish-black, coho usually go purpley/red.

NICE FISH THOUGH.
