Title: springs
Post by: devon42 on January 19, 2009, 07:16:01 PM: i know its a little early for thinking about this but i need to take holidays from work and I'm wondering when is the best time in the summer to take off for fishing red springs on the vedder or even the Fraser?

Post by: armytruck on January 19, 2009, 09:09:34 PM: I like to get geared up in June for springs on the Fraser , it's a little quieter with a few more choices on where to land the craft and chuck out the bar gear . BigCoho is right though with August being the most productive at the Vedder or the Fraser . July isn't out of the question either (http://www.fishingwithrod.com/albums/armytruck/010_G.jpg)(http://www.fishingwithrod.com/albums/armytruck/005_G.sized.jpg)(http://www.fishingwithrod.com/albums/armytruck/002_G.jpg)
