« on: July 08, 2008, 09:28:34 AM »

Hey just curious to what your bait of choice for these Reds?  The standard cured roe or just wool?

thanks

Is this a two or three week run in the Vedder?

You can still catch them in August but the majority of them are not worth keeping.

Black and Red wool combo, good roe, or MASSIVE spoons, all fished deep works well.

I agree. but last year was different, i've caught a few adipose-clipped reds well into october and saw a few taken too.

are we talking reds (sockeye) or springs?  For Reds, unfortunately, sam has it right, it's not about the bait, it's about the leader.  Springs: be prepared to throw everything at them.

o chit, I didn't think we would even get an opening for sockeye.

for sockeye its a shady rig, colour don't matter. no need to hunt them past the mouth.

I don't think we are going to get an opening on sockeye anytime soon. As far as Reds go, I'm assuming hes talking about springs. The socks will take blue flies off the surface in the vedder though, as I learned from experience last year  ;D

O yea... those Vedder River socks are great fighter, almost in the air the whole time. Hooked 5 and landed 3 so that's a pretty decent number I would say. Anyways.... better get this back on topic  ;D
