All I've heard is how bad the attitude and etiquette is at the Vedder, something that has always kept me away from it .... this looks like another example.  Sounds like a real loser, what goes around comes around, sorry that he ruined your day on the river.

[awurban@msn.com]

yea, its guys like that, that give other people a bad name. Don't forget not all local fisherman are like that and a lot of them are more then welcome to share a pool or drift with people. I have noticed before peach road can be bad. I remember when  was younger (around 14) there was a guy smoking pot and doing coke while fishing. He was bottom bouncing and then freaking out on people for crossing his line.

Im over it now, I was really mad, prob more mad than I should of been, I think it was the fact that I helped him out first.

Its all good, at least he didnt take a fish (if I caught one that day)

[MIKE1]

you could save yourself some trouble, if you learn how to tie a bait loop. Its a knot you tie to you hook and you can open the loop and put in a chunk of roe and snug it up so your roe doesnt fall during the drift. Go to your local tackle shop they will show you how to tie it. berry's bait and tackle showed me.

Ive been showed by them too but I cant ever seem to nail it... maybe someone can throw in a weblink so I can practise...

Frustrating part is how long it takes me to make the roe bags... + how much grief I get from my lilttle lady about the smell of our new kitchen when Im done lol

this is unfortunate to hear .

It's bad enough we have car break-ins while were out fishing , but now fisherman ( and I regret calling this thief a actual fisherman ) are stealing from you when you give them help .

I also feel bad for the river ... yeah it may sound wierd , but rivers are a place to get away from the hectic lives we live , and every other thread on most forums are giving the vedder a bad name . If all the good guys are chased away from the river , then it will never get any better if only the low life's fish there . They are the same ones that leave trash , snag fish , and polute the back roads . The good guys gotta keep on it and keep supporting that river system despite the negative actions of others . Remember , there are still good places to fish on the river , just have to put some hiking time into it .

[silver ghost]

What a loser. It's no lie, these meatheads always show up on the rivers, I just ignore them. But you have to have thick skin if you're gonna fish the vedder or fraser that's for sure. But these guys always get what they deserve - last year on peg some guy pulled out a knife and got tackled by an off duty cop. can you say justice?

But hey, check this video out, this is how i first learned how to tie an egg loop, the guy explains it very well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnCqtoku-XE

I agree... I really should say to lighten up the thread that there were a couple of really cool guys there: guy picking up garbage, new fisherman asking lots of good questions, also picking up garbage, older guy helping me out by asking me if I wanted his spot because I was there second longest to him etc.

I dont fish salmon on the Vedder-gave that up many yrs ago because of all the stuff mentioned in this thread.I do fish it hard for steelhead and avoid the meatholes and crowds.The postive thing i would like to share is the thrill of walking into a spot on the vedder with nobody around and hook and land a big steelhead by yourself. Its these moments that truely make the Vedder a great river to fish.I have fished alot of steelhead rivers over the yrs and the Vedd offers a good chance to catch large hatchery steel. I only keep one or two per season for the table,but its nice to have the option. So what im trying to say its not all bad. A awesome time can still be had fishing a great river like the Vedd.Alot of people dont realize how lucky we are to have a river like the Vedd.So treat it with all the respect it deserves and appreciate it for what it is.Fish ethically and pack your garbage out.Thanks

That's probably the same guy who cut you off on the way there, talking on his cell phone and swearing at anyone in front of him.  Don't worry dude, one day he'll get his.

[bigblue]

Yeah... there are some real morons at CV.
Peach Road area is a well known "combat fishing zone" even during steelhead season, so I would imagine it would be worse during salmon season.
But the river has 30km of fishable area, so if you walk or drive around, you could find a quiet spot.
It is a great river, so it attracts all kinds of people, including racist morons like the one captioned.

Ive been showed by them too but I cant ever seem to nail it... maybe someone can throw in a weblink so I can practise...

I found some good video links on youtube too learn how to tie them too...good luck! 

[coho65]

thats to bad that happened,he'll have his day.i was up fishing the skeena earlier this summer and somebody tried to bust into my car at 4am,it happens everywhere!!!!good thing i have an alarm otherwise i would of lost a bunch of equipment and my buddies stuff to.theft and ignorance is province wide unfortunately,it isnt strictly the lml where this happens.i have witnessed all sortts of ignorance while fishing but what gets my blood boilin the most is when people kill or mishandle wild steelhead mistaking them for springs or coho......fishing should have a course like the Core before you are able to get a license......jmo

[Kitimat65]

Yes i agree with ya coho,just last year witnessed fella drag then bonk a wild buck steelhead probably 25lbs told me he thought it was a spring thought the red ckeeks red line would have clued him in, oh well he paid a hefty fine ,but what chaps my my friend is someone missed out on hooking and playing that beautiful fish no doubt probably on the sustut or kispiox damn.
