Well decided to meet up with DMW, Searun and his son for some coho fishing on the Vedder. We arrived at our run with no one around which was sure nice on a weekend. Well second cast and fish on. Landed a nice 8.5lbs hatchery coho. Also hit a chum and a buck spring and lost another. Here is the picture of the coho.All fish where caught on roe except for the chum which was on a blade.

It was sure was a great day to be out but I think searun was going a little loopy. I think he spent a week to long hunting in the bush

...what coho look like!! 


 
Jeez after 2 straight days of fishing, not a sniff of coho.
I hauled in so many chum I can't count that high.
Broke 3 stealth floats (not using these again), lost another 3 (one of them was a tug by a killer whale or something and ripped everything off), emptied my leader box of about  12 - 15  leaders, broke the ceramic insert on my rod tip by scraping the ground while unhooking a chum. I ran out of roe, ran out of lead, ran out of floats, ran out of leaders, crazy!! 

First day I was moving around changing spots, I saw one guy catch a coho out of a gazillion people.
Second day I stayed in one spot for the most part.

Hope others have had better luck!

I did not fish today being the long weekend but visited the river just at sunset to cleanup some garbage and litter on the bar below the Vedder Crossing Bridge, got one bag full and a couple of dollars,of tins and bottles. Also a rolled up newspaper with 2 very long leaders on it with barbed hooks.

Everyone was having a good time it appeared but most people I saw had way too long of leaders  as well as long float lines or bouncing the bottom with no floats, saw two dark buck chums not make Thanksgiving. Saw people earlier in the day throwing fly gear and fishing in water that almost one could call rapids. A fish would get whiplash trying to latch onto the fly.

These methods of fishing we now have, have reached the point of no return, as much as I hate to say it as there is just too many of them.
Will have to wait for steelhead season where things improve some.

On a positive note, nice fish in the pix above.

LOL 3113 a sturgeon rod. You are just jealous that the only thing you rolled was a rock that you said was a crome coho LOL.
