Pretty sure it's 2012  ;) 2011 was a banner year!  :P

I think they are forecasting a good return... they are for the island any ways  ;D

Anybody know about the 2012 Vedder Chums?

Even though they closed it last year, I've seen tons of them.

Tons ?? How many fish consist in your ton ??

It's still August, and even though there have been chum sightings already, I hardly think there are tons in the system right now.

Yes, thanks F.A. I was referring to the number of chums last year.  I wouldn't have even noticed the numbers were down last year just judging by the encounters on the river.

Aug 29 was my earliest, usually labor day weekend will see a few fish, very few. The coho I have got early seemed small. Also have tied into a few bigger springs early as well. But of course you will see the jacks first. It is always spotty leading upto 2nd week of Sept. Then game on.

Show a few how to fish, and to those who are offered to learn...LISTEN!!!!! The crap on that river is sickening!

I plan learning how to float fish on my newly acquired CP. Just have to order up some waders. Hopefully I can get some tips and a little beginners luck while out there.

Short float good roe under a float, 15 lb maxima main, to a stealth float, to a small piece of pencil lead, thread it on the line and tie on a small black swivel, then 10 lb fluorocarbon leader to a size 2 barbless gammy tied with a bait loop knot. Remember short float! Don't be afraid to fish away from the crowds in travel lanes during a high tide in the lower river, the action can be non stop. Patience can really pay off, all the sudden the fish move thru and you hooked over 10 bright coho. If it slow fishing as well try a Colorado blade, it may save you some roe.

Thanks... Now I need to get some practice casting.

I'm guessing that most of the shops around the valley will have "good" roe?
