Brrrr...Left DT Vancouver early to hit the flow at first light. 2nd time out this season. I had a general idea what section of river I wanted to cover but no definite starting point. The descrete (and reliable) spot I began most trips at last year in the lower river was washed away by the fall rains.
I guess the cold and the wind kept most away today, at least in the lower river. I didn't see anyone for at least 2 hours this morning. Unbelievable for a Saturday given where I was but then again it was tough to get a good drift going with blasts of wind that would drag my float across the river. I floated roe (between gusts) and bounced a colorodo blade for most of the morning. Had 2 hits at first light then nothing. Around noon I decided to do a little wading to reach a channel on the opposite side of the river. Finally...my new tiny Drennan goes down, I set the hook, see a flash and the heart starts going. After a few rolls and runs I get her in close enough to see the big wild adipose fin. I get her in shallow enough to pop the hook and for a final close look - Good size ~12lbs, bright chrome doe sent on her way.
Cheers!
Justin.

Fished Peach to Lickaman Rd. Saw no hatcherys kept, saw one wild caught and released in deep pool near lickman. hooked into 1 and caught 2 usable floats. WIND has definately died down since last week, but was still a bit too windy.

I took a little 7-8lb hatchery doe this afternoon below the train bridge. Roe sack did the trick.
