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

There is no where in the Lower Mainland more crowded than Pegleg. lol. By the time you can fish the Peg half of the reds are gone.

I've fished the Vedder for summer chinooks for over twenty years and have caught lots of chrome ones.  The Vedder produces just as well as the Fraser if you know where to fish. Every chinook you catch is guaranteed to be a red one, and the best part for me is that I can use my float rod and don't have to bottom bounce for them like in the Fraser. Peace of mind is more important to me.

I am with you on the peace of mind thing, and I would much rather fish the vedder over the Fraser as bottom bouncing isn't really my thing, and bar fishing bores me I need something to do when fishing, and I agree that no where on the vedder gets as busy as peg leg I was just saying that some spots can get pretty brutal on the vedder. But with a little leg work it is easy to get away from the crowds.

That is exactly why I prefer the Vedder and Chill over the Fraser.
Plus I just like seeing my float go down. :D  :P
