Fall salmon fishing on the vedder had ended and I wanted to go fishing, so I googled "vedder river trout fishing" up came a link with FWR. I signed up to the forum that day in december and a guy named Chris Gadsden mention of a fish I had never heard of 'steelhead' and ever since then iv been hooked to this site and the elusive steelhead.

You approached me when I was giving a talk at a cleanup organized by Vic Carrao. I was talking about the garbage problems and the way we could lessen the amount that is thrown along the banks of the Chilliwack Vedder River by careless fishers and other users as well as criminal dumping. You had similar thoughs on this and you told me about FWR and then we and other organized the Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Coalition who has taken 55 tons of garbage off the banks in the last 7 years or so. That is the good part as the bad part is, I have logged nearly 54 days here, just thing of all the fishing I have sacrificed. ;D ;D

I've always found message boards a great way to find info on any of my hobbies. A quick "bc fishing message board" google search directed me here. I also frequent another local site/message board that i became a member of and began posting on first, and heard of here as "the other site" through there.

Found out about this from doing a google search, but also from other forums. Lurked for a while on a bunch and this is the only one that has enticed me to start participating, everyone seems really nice, respectful and genuinely interested in helping other fisherman and the fish themselves.

i was searching steelhead fishing techniques  and i found it. it didn't become a subscriber till the following fall but was a visited from time to time. Since joining I have even won some hooks and a super nice float for having the "fishy shot". thanks Rod!I enjoy being a part of the site and have learned a great deal about sport fishing and ethics of sport fishing. Great job Rod and FWR crew! I will do my best to contribute back. :)

I just started into fishing a couple of years ago. While I was at the river, and seeing my struggles, someone was kind enough to help me out. He mentioned the FWR site and told me to check it out as a good way to learn about the sport and techniques. Presto... here I am!
