If fishing the fraser, use a bar rig

As JordsyU and Rodney have suggested, Bar fishing would avoid catching sockeye and the springs would actually bite. 

Here is a pretty cool video of springs hitting a bar rig-

Fish the Vedder in July. Short float roe, shrimp or wool. No need to go to Peg Leg.

I agree. Fishing with wool, shrimp and roe can be deadly for springs in the Vedder/Chilliwack River. Plus there are less crowds compared to Peg Leg, Scale, Sea Bird and other popular bars on the Fraser. IMO you have a better success rate when fishing the Vedder/Chilliwack.

Here are two video's about floating roe.

I dont know about the less crowds part on the vedder some spots are just as bad as pegleg.

That sometimes may be true, but if you take one day, maybe earlier in the season when the fishing isn't that great, to scout the river, you can find yourself a few spots that you can have to yourself.

IMO I think that the crowds on the Vedder/Chilliwack are less saver than some of the Fraser bars.

they are less for a reason, how many chrome red springs have you caught on the Vedder/Chilli? people hit these bars cause they produce

[jeff]

I have to agree with hue-nut the red spring fishing on the Vedder is not the best.

[BCfisherman97]

I do agree that Vedder and Chilliwack springs do turn, but you can still catch crome fish.
Fraser springs are extremely good quality fish. I do prefer Fraser springs over Vedder springs. But I just enjoy fishing alone on the Vedder and Chilliwack than solder to solder on the Fraser.
