so had my day off today ;D and decided to head to the vedder to try my luck again ::) got to my spot at first lite and the fish we jumping :o excited as i was started to gear up and made the first cast about 5:45am still dark and couldn't really see my float so waited till there was enough lite then tried again,by about the 7-8 cast the float goes for a dive and it's on about 5Min's later i pull in my first HO of the season about 6lbs of chrome chrome buckness ;D i check to see if its a hatchery and no it wasn't :P so off the buck goes,next thing i know my bud calls fish on and he's into something strong and seemed big, 5-10 later he pulls his first chum of the year not to bad looking of a doe around the 10lbs range.From this point on it seemed that everyone around started to catch as the the guy next to me lands a 18lbs white :o and few Min's later a couple of jacks came out as well buy the time we left the count on the shore was two whites one 18lbs the other a little smaller 3 jacks and 1 chum, released 3 wild Ho's so not to bad of a morning.The only fish that belong to us was the chum :D oh well always another day good luck to and tight lines.

sounds like a great day on the river scruffy ;)
-
whoa sounds like an awsome day, Hopefully tomorrow will be the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
nice report there scruffy, sounds like the fish are steadily moving in now
hopefully that last over a longer period of time then just that one day
i was thinking of going for the first time to the vedder this year on sunday
to try it out but was wondering what kind of bait/equiepment should i consider getting
that might work (considering im fishing with a baitcast reel)?
tight lines everyone!!!
-
Sounds Good
I was out at the vedder today as well. Lots of springs being caught down in the lower end. I also saw about 6 chums a jack and 2 coho caught. Biggest white was 25 + pounds :o Its starting to pick up
-
i would use roe ,some people like the pro cured stuff and some like the boraxed stuff it depends on the water condition i use pro cured when there's colour to the water and boraxed when clear,as for equipment i use my trophy 10'6" light action rod rated 8-17lbs with a 5500 cs rocket spooled with 12lbs main, the leader i was on today was 10lbs ANDE line and a dynk float with a short leader about 12" with a small hook size#4,and finally pencil lead.Good luck to you when you head out tight lines :)

Just got off the phone with my brother. He fished for about 2 hours, managed to hook into 3 coho but was unsuccessful at landing any of them. Some of the other guys fishing the same spot did well also, including one 14lb hatchery coho.
-
Just wittness the biggest coho I have ever seen caught,
20 plus pounds hatchery snagged at the guantlet along with a 40 pound spring.
Also snagging at this guantlet were a couple members from FWR.
Snag fest today!
I wish i could have bonked the chum that was snagged on every cast, brought in, released, and caught again. poor fish! :'(
Oh yeah people keep the sturgeon line off your spinning reels and upgrade your trout rod to a longer stronger salmon rod, I think it will give you better controll with your leaders.
-
Sounds good, looks like I am going to have to get up extra early tomorrow!! ;D
Ok well, the snagging thing doesn't sound good, not at all. But the fact that some fish were caught and showing themselves, that souinds good!! ;D n Just might get into something before the clean-up afterall!! ;D
-
Whens the clean up and where, ill tell you were i saw about a hundred fish stacked, no joke.
-
The Clean-up is starting at Thompson Park. The signup is between 8:30 and 9:30!! But as for telling where they are, who are you talking to?? ;D I already know where they are, could you expect anything else!! Besides, I also have some scouts on the river today, checking out a bunch of other places for tomorrow!! ;D
-
Lots of big boys around today!
