Chilliwack River, October 16th 2011
« on: October 16, 2011, 03:55:13 PM »
Fished the lower canal and it was pretty slow today. Got into one hatchery and thats all she wrote. Yesterday was a good day but I guess they all moved up a bit to the Cottonwood run or above somewhere.

Still a real nice fish man, and some awesome weather. Not really fishing weather tho..lol  Minni Me and I were out today again as well.  Along with one of his friends.. there were some coho caught.  I got nothing on blades to start with, so changed to roe and got a wild ho.. not that big at all.  Then nothing on roe for a while so I moved around a bit and hooked 2 more on blades again.  Landing one of them.  Nice chrome doe.  Now I have some nice roe for wednesday and some fresh fish for the BBQ.  Minnie me's friend got a small hatch buck... and Minnie me well, he hooked a couple but it didn't work out. lol

After all the fish around yesterday today was a bust. Went before church and after and not a bite, guess I should not fish on Sunday. ;D

Found a couple of dozen floats and a $8 worth of tins so that was OK, will change locations tomorrow.

Lost two very chrome cohos this morning, one was almost in my hands but managed to slip away. Im sure half of chilliwack heard my frustrations. That put me to 4 hooked and zero landed this season.  :'(

A bust for me on the fly (had one single coho on for all my efforts), but my buddies bb and Tadpole put on a clinic short-floating wool.
I did however end up taking home an ocean-perfect 25 pound marbled spring courtesy of my buddy Tad. 
Never seen a spring so fresh in my 12 years of fishing the Vedder. ;D

Went to the Chilliwack today to check out some locations.
Along the way also went to the point in canal where Rodney recently had his coho limit to survey the situation.
All I can say is most guys either did not see the video or did not look at it carefully as most people were fishing the wrong place to target the fresh run cohos which everyone wanted to catch. Most of them were battling off-coloured springs as a result. ::)

Well, got a later start then normal. Started at around noon and fished till dark. Ended up with 5 coho, 2 wild about 3-5 pounds each, chrome as could be. 3 hatchery, two about 6-7, other about 7-8. All got the rock shampoo ;D Had a handfull of springs on but didn't land any as I didn't feel like working that hard ;D Saw a couple of chum caught and a handful of flossed pinks caught, all in full spawning colour. All fish caught on roe and blades, here is a pic of just the first two hatchery fish as I didn't take one of the third. Twas a good day ;D

Definitely slower than it has been.  Only had two hatch in my honey hole and had to move upriver to round out the limit.

Fish were not as chrome as earlier in the week.  All caught on Roe.  Maybe the cold and sunny weather had something to do with it.

HEY!  Looking at the background and "rocks" - I know that location!  OK - seriously, it was slow this morning!  Fortunately, I went 3 for 3 for chrome hatchery coho in the morning, then later went upriver landing 3 coho (2 hatchery and 1 wild...all released).  Good times again Stratocaster.  Until next time... ;)
