Its dropped, same height as sunday.

[chris gadsden]

Has been raining hard for the last few hours.

[dead head]

so will the river be fishable tommorow?

[penn]

It's still a fair bit higher than it has been before last week . The water did clear up somewhat , but having said that it has been raining over night . When I drove over the Veddar crossing bridge Friday evening the water was back to a green color but quite high still , not blow out conditions by any means , just higher than ideal for Steelhead fishing . If your heading out you may want to consider fishing further up stream . 

[Steeler2000]

Although quite high the water was perfect on Sunday .

Caught and released a 17lb. hatch buck on the lower  .

Last chance this week for drifters .

Excellent!
Was it coloured up or still fairly chrome?

[Clarki Hunter]

Just wondering if it's still busy on the weekends or has it died down?  I usually only fish the fri or mon or mid week when I can.   And water conditions?

Condition were good this am. I saw 3 fly fishers and one chap bar fishing.

Oh wonderful, if that was May 1st,  then another one of those fisherman who cannot be bothered to read the fishing regulations.

Yes we should all check the regulations before we fish any body of water. This chap and his wife were very elderly people (over 80) so I gave him the benefit of the doubt or I would have reported him. He packed up as soon as I told him the river was closed below the Vedder Bridge except for fly fishing on May 1.

Maybe I am getting too soft in my old age (over 65).

[Dave]

No, not too soft Chris, more likely just more acceptable and receptive to changing times.  I've been in the same position and always the older, less informed anglers did the same thing; realized their mistake and left, thankful for my information.  Younger anglers, well, often times not so much.
Glad you didn't report them Chris.

dennyman, I totally understand your position but c 'mon - 80+ years old and still fishing!! (albeit illegally...) somehow you gotta like that!
 

[Clarki Hunter]

Thanks for the update Chris 

[Rodney]

Here is a video of one of the last few catches from this season.

Now that most have already moved onto other fisheries, it is time to tally up the numbers. I've added a poll to the thread so please vote.

Many thanks to all who have contributed in the river condition updates throughout the season.

[Every Day]

Season isn't over yet....
And water looks GREAT for those who want to fly fish  

I got 11 in 15 trips on the Vedder.... 5 in 5 trips to the Stamp, not a bad year I guess, just wish I could have gotten out more 

[HOOK]

you gut chuckers sure do like patting your own backs eh  I was 1 for 1 on gear and so far still a giant goose egg on the fly. Hitting the water in the a.m. to remedy that though
