Fishing is not as good as it was when I was a kid but there are a gazillion bullhead in there, there are carp, some resident rainbows and the very odd dolly and odd smaller sturgeon. Cuthroat and Salmon in season but check the regs.
If you fish off the bottom 99% of the time you wil catch bullhead. try flies or a float with a earth worm not dew worm or bread for trout and carp.

Yep.. you cannot fish above 168th at any time of the year.
You cannot fish below 168th between 9pm and 5am.. Aug 1st thru Dec 31. Single barbless hook.

I have seen salmon caught in that river but closer to the flood gates on the King George but they would pass 168th anyway.
If salmon are open and in there I would try an orange spin and glo or roe. But if you fish roe off the bottom you will catch endless bullheads.
With the Serp and Nic I usually just use the earth worm or bread under a bobber and not to far out. Carp you will usually see them swirl but some jump though. But you will still catch your fair share of bullheads using a float too unfortunately.
I go with the intention of fishing for carp and sometimes you can be surprised what you may catch.
Maybe try roe under a bobber? But check the regs for salmon though.

ive been fishing there for 25+ years... just not that high up.. 64 and 152 bridges... i havent seen a bullhead there in 15 yrs... tonnes of catfish... res rainbows, huge carp, sunfish/bluegill, coho and chum when salmon season happens the odd dolly varden... res and oceanrun cutthroat...up to 22" and ive seen bigger ones marauding around.... oh .and i get them on the bottom... on dew worms...spinner is effective as well... anyone who thinks the serpentine is polluted... should take a walk and actually look... first thing you'll notice is a family of otters... when they leave, its probably safe to say its dirty and theres bivalve mollusks present... the water must be clean to sustain this sort of life.

152 bridge probably produces more carp but ive caught huge ones at the 64 bridge, the nicomekl on 152... thats a good spot for carp... i fish with no weight just a swivel and 3ft leader and a fat dew werm... best time is feb-march... then the river is closed until july1st and just put it the time and you should get one...

It is 168th above Bothwell park not down around Fraser Highway (as river bends and passes 168th twice) area. You can fish the serp at 176Th for example if one wanted to.
