Freshwater (Fraser River) Sockeye Fishing As most know, sockeye are not aggressive biters as they travel through the Fraser River, in order to catch a sockeye we use a tactic that SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR SOCKEYE ON THE FRASER… flossing. We use a bait casting or spinning rod that is 10-12ft long with a spinning or bait casting reel loaded with 50lb or 65lb braided line. At the end of the mainline we attach a leader saver, this minimizes line twisting when casting and our weight from causing damage to the leader, we attach our round bouncing betty weight to this. Leaders are typically tied on 20lb-30lb line and are from 7ft-14ft long a corkie (small foam lure) and some wool sit above the 1/0-4/0 hook the leader is attached to the leader saver as well.
