One thing we can all be sure of is the accuracy of Mr. Gadsen's river condition reports. Unlike the meteorologists, his dedication and accurate information is greatly appreciated.Hopefully very soon we will see another journal addition.Thank-you Chris for your commitment to the fishing community.

Another reely good thing to do is take pictures of them, the vehichle, and where they are at!

Because once u get a pic of them there is no way for them to get out of it!

they could kick you in head, pull a knife or beat you until you hand over the camera.

not worth it imo.

[ever_hopefull]

And when was the last time you heard of someone being kicked in the head, or beaten till a camera was turned over?     Sounds a bit over dramatic to me. 
As the quote in your handle says "Sheep rise up", until then it is merely noisy complaining.  Don't complain about it - DO something about it.

I don't think it's dramatic at all. People have been beaten up and in some cases killed for less. Too many loose cannons out there. Use a little discretion.

[goodoldays]

definatley agree with above post. There are other ways of handling the situation, but the point is if you don`t do anything about it then nothing will get done.
We can`t always rely on others. That being said, here`s a loud thanks to Mr. Gadsen for his dedication to the sport and to this forum.
I`m gonna hit the river on thursday and will let you know the conditions and how the fishing went.
See you all on the river!

If you do nothing then when the fish are gone, you'll only have yourselves to blame!!!

Sad so many of you live in a world of fear, mostly generated by the media and your own doing!!!  Very Very SAD!!!

I don't think anyone here is advocating we do nothing. About 3 years back a fisherman saw another fisherman snagging cohos from the Cable Pool on the Capilano. He followed him back up to the parking lot and confronted him. The other fisherman turned on him and gave him a beating. Turned out later that the guy was suffering a mental disorder. It would have been more prudent and certainly less painful if he had just discretely record his licence and reported the infraction to the proper authorities.

I think it's fair to say that anyone who attacked you for trying to ID them for doing something illegal, is suffering from a mental disorder. I have witnessed and been subject to abuse from people like this rarely, but they are out there all the same. Most people realize they have been temporally overcome by the greed factor.

Getting back on topic. Toured the Chilliwack Valley today and the conditions above the slides were fishable but not very good below. Would be tough fishing as river is high leaving few good holding water.

Am posting a picture journal on the tour,with Rodney's help later

[chris gadsden]

Lower still poor.

[Fish Assassin]

With the high cost of gas, Chris' reports are greatly appreciated. Keep them coming Chris.

[Athezone]

Thanks Chris, your Vedder reports and journals are greatly appreciated and I've found them to be totally reliable everytime. Thank you.

[Steelhawk]

Chris, thank you for your report update. You save us lots of $$$ in gas  by staying home, and probably do more good for the planet than our premier's carbon credit tax for the environment.

Just got home from fishing on the Vedder.... First went up high to the top up at limit hole and the water is much nicer up there compared to down low where it is still a mudhole. Up high however is VERY high and fast right now so it is not really worth the trip. Towards 7 we found a spot and fished there for a while. Couldn't believe the amount of sockeye (I think) jumping around, either that or there are lots of Jacks (that arn't taking) in the Vedder right now.. Anyhow, if you are planning on going out, Upper (from Allsion pool up) has decent water visibility, but is running high and fast, and its very hard to find a spot. Anywhere from Allison Pool down is a crap shoot (high, muddy, fast) unless you can find clear water emptying into the main where the fish can clean their gills.

Good luck

Went out again today for awhile... River is still running extremely high and fast. Lower is still chocolate brown and it has come up about 1-2 inches since yesterday. We tried our luck for Jacks on the fly rods today and my friend ended up hooking a bullet sockeye, which he lost after a very brief 10 second fight when it snapped his 4 pound test   I also had a very nice hit, but didnt manage to connect on it. We were using black wolly buggers with a gold bead head and olive wolly buggers with a gold bead head. Saw a ton of sockeye jumping around and also saw 1 Spring roll. Not really worth the trip out unless you do some exploring on the upper river as the spot we were in gets crowded very fast. Don't expect the river to come down very soon, we had thunderstorms today with pretty heavy rain and tomorrow morning we are expected to have rain as well, and all day Sunday. After that temps are suppose to climb again.

Good luck if you decide to go 
Dan
