Can't catch fish when he spends all day on the couch and Facebook, like me.
I made it out and got some lessons from the Master, success soon to follow. ;D ;D ;D

Reports coming in river visibility about a foot and getting worse which is no surprise because of the heavy rain overnight and today.

Everytime that I am ready to go out, the river is either blown or too high. I took a week off last week and wasted my days off!!!!!!
The fish god must hate me!!!!!

Not to put a damper on your weekend fishing, I might be looking at some other options this weekend.  I had the whole week off and didn't get out once.  I see the river has come up again.  Might take a few days still to clear.  More rain forcast for Monday.  When will it end.

I havent been fishing for 2weeks cuz that rain warning and snow and more rain. grrrrrr
Im jonesin to go fishing I gots shrimp, worms, jigs, wool, spoons, almost everything?
As soon as it clears up for a day or 2 maybe 3 BAM! heavy rain and snow.
Big thanks to Chris and the guys who post a pic of the river from time to time saves us driving out there to find choclate milkshake rapids.
The weather will get better and think how many fish are in that river now hehe, more fish than anglers.
Cant wait till she improves.

I hope you know that if you retain a steelhead on the Vedder you must stop fishing.

Regional daily quota is 2 (hatchery fish)...
Vedder limit is 1, other rivers also have a 1 fish limit. As long as you can prove your fish is from a diff system you can keep fishing a separate one.
