Woke up WAY to early and had to hang out at McDoanlds and read the paper until it got light out.

Got to peach just before it was light and geared up and it started to pour... this is a good thing, whole river to myself!

I couldn't BELIEVE how may pinks where coming though, was there for about 2 hours, they didn't like my spinners as I only got into two and I prob watched 100 fish swim up.

Around 8am went to upper vedder/chilliwack river, tried my roe for ho's. Hooked one but lost it, another guy got two (one was hatchery and he promptly let it go), good on you "dave" for not taking the fish out of water until you ID'd it. If your on this forumn, sorry if I was being weird that I made such of point of that and saying "good job" about the way you handled it, there were a couple younger guys (my age) and I wanted them to see the right way to handle a fish.

**edit, went by Keith Wilson bridge on way home, about 12 guys, there, nice again too see people not snagging but fishing. Funny how the weather keeps some at home.

Fished the crossing area from 8 - 11 this AM, gosh, was it really pouring...       
Caught three hatchery Coho Jacks, one wild Coho and a Chrome Pink (both were released immediately with care and love  ).  two caught on freshly cured roes, two on colorado and the pink was caught with a jig. 
still no spring for me yet..

couldn't keep them off.  in fact i lost 2 other fair size jacks today too.  hopefully more adults will show up after the rain.

When the weather nasty with pouring rain and wind, that is  where real  diehard hardcore fishermen show up.

In the afternoon me and a few friends stopped in around Lickman then the huge storm came in. Lickman was packed of people and as soon as the hard rain hit everyone left except for the 4 of us. LOL  this meant we had the whole run to ourselves...i was fishing with my 6wt and man kept hitting pink after pink after pink on drifting a small roe fly/ glo bug with indicator. had one huge take took me to deep water and ran down stream before he snapped my 10 lb leader. not sure what it was or what. But all in all was a good day on the river

I have to admit, at one point it felt like the it was raining "up" from the river it was so wet. The Rain drops were bouncing off the ground so hard all my box and roe were COVERED in mud!

Going back early a.m. tomorrow, might try Yarrow area if the water isn't too high and its accessable (does anyone know?)
