Fish the incoming tides. Water level is super low and there’s a log jam 1km downstream from the hwy 37 bridge/ boat launch so very few if any boats on the river.
Access from the campground boat launch or the Rod & Gun Club parking lot; or, the old Methanex plant parking lot. Lots of people fishing at Coho Flats…
I just returned from a week there and didn’t have any issues with bears but carry spray and bangers always, even when fishing “in town”.
Don’t be afraid to head about 10km north of town and try any spot that looks good. Hike up around the first bend and you’ll be in your own quiet Paradise.
All your flies have to be single/ barbless hook and make sure they are strong Salmon hooks. Light wire hooks will break. Set the hook when you feel the first headshake. I like to use as long a leader as I can cast without too much tangling, minimum 10lb and I’m sure many use much heavier.
