Chilliwack River January 23rd, 2008
« on: January 23, 2008, 09:54:18 PM »

Well got there at first light brrrr
it was cold
tried a spot just up from the vedder crossing
nothing doing water too low for there
moved up past ON THE WAY
river was in great shape i was sure i was going to get into one

tried the run each time with a different presentation
but nothing
it was so cold that every 8 or so casts i had to break ice of my first three guides as my line was freezing to the guides

so i moved down river to Lickman area and tried there
nothing
one guy was spey fishing said he hooked but lost one around 8am
i spoke to a few guys and no one had seen or heard of a fish

i went for a hike up river from there and found some nice water
again nothing
so i made my way back to the car park at Lickman and i heard this guy say oh that guy over there just released one

So i headed down to the water again to fish the runs i tried earlier thinking the bite might start but nothing

water was very clear

This guy was watching me fish


and here is a pic of lickman area

From what I heard from most this week it has been slow for everyone. Things should change when the weather warms up. ;D ;D ;D

Myself and a buddy fished Thursday after work in the Yarrow area for 2 hours.  Didn't see many rods on the river and we didn't touch anything.  Boy, did it get cold once the sun started to go down!  Fished beautiful water but nothing to report.  A gorgeous day to be on the flow anyway!
