In all respect I donot find any short coming in short floating at all as when the coho are in you will have no trouble getting your limit on the Vedder.

Chris, no disagreement in what you said. I take it you normally fish downstream of the Vedder bridge in the shallow runs and that's very smart as you're intercepting fresh fish and have been very successful. you've got the s/f technique down pat.
I usually fish the upper half and it varies from runs to deep pools and rapids so the approach is different in each case and that's my fishing challenge. The nice thing about the C/V is that one can find the solitude away from the crowds, even if you have to settle for a less productive spot. Fall fishing for is so much nicer than the sockeye mania because I start out after lunch and fish for 3-4 hours. Another big plus when you live in Chilliwack and able to go fishing on a daily basis if desired. Had some fun at the Peg but the cooler weather is more to my liking.
