Hello all, my group in putting in on Snowbank this Thursday and is heading to Fraser. If anyone has been out in that area lately and is willing to share a fishing report it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

this may be too late for you,,, but just spent 6 nights on Thomas. Lakers are quite active,, eyes .... we didn't find them. Very odd. Fished the classic spring area for eyes,,, just dead water with the occasional laker at dusk/dawn. Lakers during daylight were in 28+ FOW. Even the slimers seemed to be hard to find as we only caught 1. Spoons for lakers or jigs with leeches (fishing for eyes) Even caught lakers from shore. Went to fraser one day but didn't do much fishing and the fishing we did was not catching. FYI--- winded out on Tuesday as IMA and the bank' were rocking.

Yes--- most people we have ever seen on the opener in the B-dub in 13 years. Must have seen at least 4 groups along with a strange situation with a (guide?) or something leaving early in the AM and returning in the PM with a different bow paddler and heading back into Ima we think?? . I think the warm spring had a lot more people reserving permits with the chances of warmer weather in the cards.

4 groups just on Thomas. Ima had at least 3 sites taken on our way out yesterday and A LOT of people were heading in at the Bank' Dissapointment port.
