Peach Road parking lot
« on: August 02, 2011, 06:18:14 PM »

Saw Nick Basok there today fishing the seam between the quiet and fast water. Anyone had luck there - if so, what lure? Heard some reports of springs ....

Thanks :)

Is there any spring salmon in this spot really?

I drove all the way from vancouver ... didn't have a bite  :(

saw someone got a 10lb fish, he stood in the middle of the river with fast current.

so no fish on shore?

The spring salmon run in the summer is quite small compared to the salmon runs in the fall. Wait and come back in October if you want to guarantee yourself a fish.

Everybody knows that Red Springs don't like the type of rocks at Peach Road.  You have to to down to Lickman or Browne to catch them.  Rookie mistake..

All this talk about red springs in Vedder river, I say BS!
Talked to a lot of fisherman and very good anglers that fish that river almost every day.
There's NO fish! Heck theres none in the hatchery for pete sake!! You may get the odd one here and there but not like in previous years. Yes I know there is a small run of them, but big enuff that you could consistently see fish being caught and see evidence everywhere.. Blood and guts on shore. Not this year!
Funny though, every tackle shop you ask says Vedder is on Fire!!! Go get' em... What they are really saying is "spend your money, because we are not selling enough" due to the high water of Fraser, normally tackle shops should be making a killing one until end of Oct.
I would have more respect for them if they admit that fish are few and far between!
If you plan on going to Vedder river, whether u fish upper, mid river, or lower know that there ARE NOT an abundant amount of fish.
If you are a meat fisherman, save your money and time and wait until Oct!
If you just wanna get out and have fun and experience fishing in the summer, know that it will be very expensive with VERY LOW chance of hooking up with one ($20 for gas depending on what kind of car u drive, $25-$30 for tackle $10 food and drink)
Go to Superstore and buy a salmon for $20. Spend the day with your wife and kids
But if your an avid angler, don't care if u catch or not just there for the whole fishing aura... Catching is just the bonus part then ya.. Get out and give' er.

If they retained it then definitely a spring. No coho in the river yet, just springs and sockeye (and all the trout and whitefish of course).

A little less time on the internet, and a little more on the river, and you would know there are reds moving through right now. They are running a little behind, but if you want to catch a Spring for sure, then yes please wait until Oct, you can have all the whites you want  :P :P :P

Someone sounds a little frustrated  ;) There are fish in the river but definitelty not in the same spot every day. They are moving through and if you find the right spot at the right time you'll catch fish. I've been out 5 times in the last few weeks. First time out caught 1 sock and release it. Second and third time out skunked. 4th time out I saw literally 20 to 25 fish hooked (4 myself) and had a great time. 5th time out skunked. It's hit or miss but if you just sit in one spot all day you're most likely going to miss...
It doesn't matter to me if I catch fish or not I just love to be out there fishing. I can understand if you don't really like fishing and are just doing it for the meat that it can get a little frustrating but maybe you should find a different hobby and stop bashing local tackle shops for ripping you off. The only information they get is from fisherman that report catches to them and people are definitely catching fish out there. Most fisherman don't run to the tackle store to tell them they got skunked.

i have heard on the flow, this is the one of the best years for reds in the vedder in quite some time. i have seen numerous fish hooked and a few landed in the few times i was out.

Ah.....he's overrated. He just works part time in the tackle shop so he can use his repuatation to leech honey holes off the customers that put in their time :P
