Dang, and we're gonna be there next year..........course it'll be in May anyway........prolly to soon for the run. The friends we'll be staying with, live on Pendor Island.....in that body of water between Vancover Island and the mainland of B.C., Canada. So we'll be movin' around from there. But the Fraser is one of the rivers they fish quite a bit. We're also gonna fish the Campbell River on Vancover Island, because i GOTTA go see the Roderick Haig Brown Museum and fish that water at least once. Anyway, thankx for the link........cool site. I bookmarked it. OH! and btw, you'll get two packages of the hooks.....i've got more and can get more free anyway. So i hope they work out for ya. If it's better for you to go bigger than size 10, rather than smaller with the size 12..... lemme know.....and i'll look and see if i have a size 8. mark.....

Every odd numbered 2nd year, there is a run of pink salmon (humpback) to this part of British Columbia - basically the Fraser River sytem. Every even numbered year - the pinks run to other areas of BC- notably the Queen Charlotte Islands in northern BC. I have usually fished for pinks in the Fraser in past years, and although I have caught them in saltwater I was never as successful as I felt I should have been. it seems that I have been using flies that are too big, because the pinks in saltwater feed on euphasid aka krill which are small - hence the size 10 hooks. I didn't know that you could get saltwater hooks in size 12. I will try and post a photo of the type of fly that I am tying in the File Section of Google groups. http://www.flyfishbc.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/1762 Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.
