Title: Vedder fishing Oct30
Post by: scottm on October 30, 2005, 04:26:53 PM

We got to the upper river around 6:45am we worked up and down the river for 5 hours my buddy was rewarded with 2 hatchery coho 8lb & 4.5lb both does.I got skunked again,there were alot of chum and the odd spring but they were a little ugly.I guess i can't complain in 7 trips to the Vedder i have got 5 hatchery.There were 3 other hatchery coho bonked while we were there all fish were chrome,you really have to work for them this year.

Yeah, I decided not to go today.  Yesterday's fishing was really slow.  I did not get 4 hatchery coho yesterday.  I fished 7 hours yesterday to get 2 hatchery coho ans 2 jack spring.

Something must have happened to the fish destined to return to Vedder/Chilliwack River.  There are very few of fish returning.  My estimate is that returning coho this year is less than 10% of last year's return for the month of October.

I love using colorado blades a slow retrieve through a nice pool produces well,i have done up over 300 #4 smooth silver blades i just have not got around to putting them in the buy&sell section of the site but i was thinking of charging $1 per blade or $10 per dozen.What do you guy's think of that price?

How can you make them for 30 cents?  It costs me more than 30 cents just for reasonable low end hooks???? Split ring 5 cents , swivels 5-10 cents and blades around 25 cents and up.  Those prices sound pretty good to me.

I was up in the top end at first light on Sat. with the bronto and my dog and we hooked a bunch of various sized springs, but no coho's. The guy above me got one nice (8 or 9lbs hatch) but that was all we saw all morning. Blue out!
