Is it worth targeting pinks on the Vedder yet?
« on: September 10, 2011, 09:28:52 AM »
Does anyone know if pinks have started moving into the Vedder yet?

I am thinking I would like to take my nephew there with a floating setup.

All I am asking is if there are pinks in there yet.  Is that too much?

don't take it wrong, i think we just point out the truth is i fish are everywhere in rivers now, some move early and some later, you never know, every day is different
I went to fraser river 3 days ago in richmond and got 4 pinks in like 2 hours, i was so sure there were tons of them there until 2 days ago and yesterday i went from 10am - 7pm , not even a bite

best way is always to keep going!

Thanks much frozensalmon.  What you are pointing out was pretty much what I have experienced myself - to be honest I should have known better than to ask a question like this.

Was fishing the Vedder mouth last night. - Lots of fish staging for cooler weather, or night fall to push through.
 Not many fish spotted above Keith Wilson

Valid question - and valid responses. I tried a few holes at sundown over the last 2 days with no results. If you're looking for a sure fire day try again in a few weeks - and check out http://www-ops2.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fos2_Internet/Testfish/rptdtfdparm.cfm?fsub_id=242. to get an idea of numbers (takes a couple of days to get to the Wack from Langley). I'd say end of September might be better.

I saw a few in the canal below #1 bridge. I was not fishing, but just stopped for a look. Nobody was fishing, so its the calm before the storm.

Thanks much all of you.    I had a suspicion it might be a little early yet but wasn't sure.

I think I will wait a little while.

Gave it a look today. Very little happening from what I saw. Give it a couple of weeks, and it should be good.  ;)

how is it that noone is seeing or catching the odd spring ? few years back i was nailing springs from the last few days of August straight through September and all fish were chrome bullets  ;D I was using roe of course because early fish love it !!

No fish don't go, just people trying to snag the odd pink by sight, sick.
