The coho are right through the whole system.  :) :) :)
Be careful, though. There are a lot of Cultus Lake sockeye mixed in with them. So, please, identify the fish before you BONK.
Thanks

Have you actually been there? According to the water levels it's actually going DOWN right now. The river is a sponge guys - it'll take more then a day or 2 of rain. If it rains 20mm the river does not go up 20mm - earth absorption makes it a ratio of half or less. No science guys here? The graph still reads only at 1.85 meters updated a few hours ago.

ps. I've fished the river for 15 years and not being a grumpy gumps - the graphs do correspond with what is needed for the main bunch to come in. Fishing in the vedder can be good until Novemeber and rarely september.

I think it'll need two or three days of steady downpour.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It was way too little rain to raise the water level. The brown colour was probably the sediments from all the digging that's going on.

my apologies, the river rose quite fast lastnight and was starting to colour so i assumed if the heavy rain continued it would blow, i guess the ground is still sucking a lot of itup.
