Well I just got back from a fun but uneventful day at the Vedder, Merc picked me up this morning at the early hour of 4:45 and we headed straight to Timmie Hoes to get my first Coffee of the day.. Why can't Starbucks open earlier?
we met up with Brian and Anthony at 6 am and head off to our secret hole !! when we arrive ten minutes later we find Flyguy and his brother Dennis already scouting out the run
nice to finally meet this guy and his bro !!!
Brian wastes no time in getting into a big chrome Coho that jumps about ten times and takes him up and down the run almost as many .. finally aftyer a strong battle he gets it close to shore only to have the hook go " POP " fishy go Bye Bye
Fishfreak got into a Chum and a Sockeye and Flyguy and his Brother had fish on but didn't get any in I don't think...
The fishing really slowed down so I started exploring the area a bit and decided to drift some roe and yarn through the faster water at the top of the run and on my second cast I was rewarded with a coloured up Chum that put up a good fight... all I can remember is Brian saying " Look at the Frickin teeth on that thing "
lol about ten casts later Spring on .. BIG SPRING !! can you say burnt thumb?? after a few quick bursts it straightened out my hook
then all was quiet .... for almost two hours we hit nothing .. Flyguy and his brother leave and so does Fishfreak... Merc myself and Brian spend about another hour or so flogging the run and Merc finally hooks into a beautiful Coho using a blade !!! the problem is that it caught Merc off Guard and the fish was gone before he could even say FISH ON!!!
We eventually leave our spot to look for greaner pastures and spend a little time watching the Gong Show at the Vedder Crossing, we tried a few casts into the pool but realized that with all the Ripping that was going on the fish were shellshocked and tight lipped so we called it a day...
So all in all not a bad day a few fish and a bunch of great friends.. it was good to finally meet you Flyguy
till next time
tight lines TR
