On arriving at the river after an early morning duck hunt ( when 6 mallards fell to 6 shots also ;D, sorry for boasting  ::))  I found excellent conditions once again, cool but no wind.

Anglers were spread throughout the runs I fished yesterday but after about 3 hours of fishing my cold seemed to be getting the best of me so I fled to the shelter of my abode. It was not like yesterday, in the runs I fished anyway as I did not see one fish on or landed. Although I heard some other areas, above and below me some fish were taken.

Time for a nap and maybe some better success fish wise tomorrow, I guess Cammer jinxed me today. ;D ;D ;D

Bare and dry around our area.

Showed up to Allisons this afternoon around 1:30-2 o'clock, stepped out onto the riverbed to see one guy bringing in a nice looking wild.  Water clarity is beautiful btw.  Fished up and down the pool for a while, I don't have anything else to type about it...Nothing hit, no bites, zero, So I am thinking about changing presentation to something the fish maybe wont find so intimidating.  Went down Wilson Rd (i think) heard of 5 being caught, one guy said he caught one earlier in the day, so I think me and my buddy were the only ones not catching fish.  I'm sure later tonite this thread will fill up with people reporting what they caught.

Cheers,

Gillnet, there is one report (and a pretty good one) from today at:

We try to keep this thread exclusively to Vedder River condition updates. Reports are usually posted in the fishing reports section. Thanks. :)

Because my cold seemed worse today, most likely because I fished earlier in the week I just did a drive around, shortly before noon. Conditions of course were very good but most people I talked to said it was very slow today.

The trip was a success for me as I found a drennan float and a few recyclables. Also a nice visit with Tom and Dick. Did not see Harry though. ;D ;D ;D

Any word on conditions today. It's snowing at UBC with about half an inch on the ground. I'm a little reluctant to go out if there is lots of snow, my truck doesn't handle it so well.

Very little on the road in our area but not sure as how it is on the way here though. I have not been out yet, darn cold keeping me grounded but will do a drive out for a look only, soon. ::)

No snow in Port Moody area according to a buddy who lives there but lots in Surrey (freeway area)...all kinds of fender benders....had to make a few detours to get home.  Don't know about further out (200th to 264th)

Just returned for a look see and conditions of the river are still fine although I believe it has colored up a bit from yesterday. Only talked to one angler and he had nothing to report. There seemed to be less anglers around than during the week, in the area I visited anyway.

Rain and snow mixed at this time and roads are clear at the moment.

River looked good when I drove the Lower a hour ago, lots of anglers out looking like icicles. Would be hard to get a good drift I would wager.
