The River is blown to Chocolate Milk, and Chris still seems to get into fish.  :)
Thanks for increasing the spawning numbers for years to come.

All the Coho were washed  back to the ocean, I hear were gonna have a coho/ steelhead season when the fish are able to make it back up again. ;D

amazing how the river changes so quick, Peach was a foot from spilling over, now its way down like 2 meters. Definately not fishable below vedder crossing yet.

Funny you should mention his method of fishing!
 
Buckeye and I met with Chris and the rest of the hardworking guys for lunch, and, as usual the topic being discussed was "how to" and "how to not" fish.  :D Anyways, that being said, Chris kindly informed us that when he started fishing, he used to fish with a pitchfork!!! :o ;D

I guess his thoughts and his speech were having a tough time cooperating with each other, but then again, it's probably pretty hard to be able to think straight all the time with a leafs hat on your head!  ;)

Actually it was with a spear when I used to go with a First Nation High School classsmate on the Cowichan River in the 1950's after chum, seem to be having better luck with the net this week. ;D ;D ;D

Actually the plastic holders that had two full beers were wrapped around the dead chum. Terry said this caused it to die, the plastic rings that is, all the more reason to not throw them out as they can tangle with all sorts of wildlife.

I told Terry this shot could be used for a good ad, 'it pays never to drink and swim". ??? ::)
Now that a bad one, anyone with other captions that could be used more original than that?

Ok, now that picture makes some sense looking at it again. Some guy probably through that Rig on his hook, and the chum went for it and busted him off. Cant think of any other explaination... ;D

A light rain started here in Vedder Crossing about 4:30 am--Right now at 9:15am it is raining very heavy--The flood victims may need some good luck to get through this day.
