Well, a friend and I tried our luck on the vedder today. Well, today was not a lucky day. We arrived at the river around 6am, it was a beautiful morning at had all the promise of a good day out. That was until we started towards the river from the car and i managed to get stung by a bee/wasp before I even made it to the waters edge (luckily im not alergic to them). We fished the upper river for a bit, caught nothing and saw nothing. We decided to try another spot. Our second location didn't bring about any more bee stings or any fish but I did manage to attack a stump with my knee.... the stump won the battle and i left with a scrape and a bruise. We tried a few more spots throughout the river with no sucess. I chucked flies, we tried roe, wool, and blades. Nothing. We did end up seeing some sockeye surfacing mid river, which is a positive sign. However, the day ended as it started. Our pride was stung, we had caught no fish. Still, i can't wait to get back out there. Im determinded to catch my first salmon on the fly... just have to find the right water.
