Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Fraser River fishing report. We’re rolling into a classic lower‑mainland summer pattern. Around the estuary and up through New Westminster into Mission, mornings are starting cool and comfortable, then warming quickly into the high teens to low 20s Celsius with light onshore breeze. Skies are a mix of sun and cloud, with just enough overcast at times to keep fish comfortable in the shallows. Sunrise is right around mid‑4 a.m., with sunset close to 9:20 p.m., so you’ve got long light to work with. Tides down by Steveston and the North Arm are on a moderate flood‑and‑ebb cycle today, with a good push of incoming water through the morning and a decent evening flood. On this system, those first couple hours of flood and the start of the ebb are your money windows, especially around the mouths of side channels and along current seams off the main flow. Fish activity has picked up. In the estuary, anglers have been finding a mix of bull trout, cutthroat trout, and the odd early salmon nosing around the bait. Up‑river, folks drifting and bar‑fishing have reported steady catches of pikeminnow, pea‑mouth, and some solid cutthroat. Sturgeon anglers are still tying into a few good fish, especially on the deeper outside bends. Numbers wise, shore guys around Deas Island and the Alex Fraser Bridge have been picking up handfuls of trout and coarse fish on a typical outing when they time their trips with the tide. The sturgeon bite isn’t on fire, but persistent crews are seeing one to three fish per tide, with the usual mix of smaller schoolies and the odd big one that’ll stretch your arms. For lures, think natural and subtle in that slightly colored Fraser water. Small spoons in copper or brass, size 8–15, work well for trout and wandering salmon. Inline spinners with silver or copper blades and a bit of chartreuse or orange on the body are a solid bet. For casting from shore, 3–4 inch soft‑plastic minnows on 1/4‑ounce jig heads, in smelt or pearl patterns, have been producing bull trout and cutthroat along the drop‑offs. If you’re bait fishing, cured roe still ranks near the top for trout and salmon nosing around the estuary, while dew worms and shrimp chunks take plenty of coarse fish and the odd surprise. Sturgeon guys should stick with eulachon, lamprey, or well‑scented salmon tails on a solid bottom rig. Couple of hot spots to circle for today: Deas Island area: Work the edges of the main channel and the mouth of side sloughs on the flood, casting spoons and spinners, or running a float with roe or worms. Good access, nice current breaks, and a real shot at mixed species. Mission bridge reach: Both above and below the bridge, look for soft seams and gravel bars. Drift gear for trout and coarse fish, or set up heavier rigs for sturgeon on the outside bends where that flow digs deep. Wherever you set up, keep an eye on that tide swing and be ready right as the current changes—on this river, that’s often when things suddenly come alive.
