Hit the vedder first light today at my new favorite run just about upper/mid river. Fish were rolling as soon as i got there as they allways seem too, i thought with the little bit of rain the bite would be better today but it wasant. Had to work pretty hard to get a 20 pound semi clean spring and a dirty chum female. Took a peep at the tailout when the sun came up and OMG! i had never seen so many coho in my life there must of been 40 or so some very nice and chrome some not so much but all were decent size just a few jacks. Worked everything i had at them for 2 hours they just stood in one spot the entire time ignoring everything but each other
Checked out KWB for a laugh at the end of my trip as i usually do. GOD!! PLZ!!! post one dfo officer to come and check in on that place at least 2 times a week!!!!!!!! the gong show was ridiculous everyone was casting in the same spot about 60 floats in a square meter area, someone would foul hook a fish every cast out of the gong show and keep the fish(most of them were boots) saw allot of fish holding away from the crowed too
HUGE! SPRINGS! I'm sure they are just waiting for the rain to rush up to our isolated low pressure spots. Also saw another intresting thing a head of a spring left on the beach, without a doubt i have got to say its the biggest spring head i have ever seen i would go so far as saying that the fish must of weighed at least 80 pounds. Sad part was the head was dirty as hell and its probably safe to say it was snagged. Seeing that made me thing of the post about people killing small fish and i realized killing something so big is even more wrong, i mean no one needs that much meat and I'm sure they don't appreciate the work after
if it was me i would of snapped a quick pic to show my children
and off it would of went. Just shows how little most of the fishermen appreciate the great salmon fishery we have.
