We were out on the vedder this morning too.
Visibility is around 3-4 feet down low, 4-5 up around allison and unlimited above ranger run sldie.
Tonnes of anglers lined up at Ranger run, probably where the action came from this morning.
Checked out the hatchery, no fish and they are re-finishing the holding tanks with concrete (or thats what it looked like anyways).
Didn't see any fish hooked or taken, although we "heard" of one in the lower.
Went back down river to Peach and decided to bring out the 4 wt.
Just as we got there we see a jet boat coming up the new back channel at Peach, the area has changed alot since Steelhead season.
Lots of guys long lining, don't think i saw anyone short floating today except for the couple guys targetting smolts with worms and shrimp
Ended up landing probably around 15 trout (smolts) on the fly (olive woolly bugger), a couple of which were between 10-12 inches. Lost and missed ALOT more.
Most of the fish were a small 6-8 inches (I would say thats the average right now).
Every single fish landed between me and Ryan (believe he got about 5 or 6 on bait) were hatchery fish, all were released.
Came across a small 4 or 5 incher that had been hooked far back in the throat and had died.
All the ones hooked on the fly were either in the tip of the top lip, tip of the bottom lip, or right in the corner of the mouth.
Good fun for anglers just starting out, even better for people just learning to fly fish.
