That's a good day indeed! ;) Sometimes, for me anyway, after the float hasn't gone down for so long and it finally does, you question it for a brief second in your head. ;D

They are also found in the most ridiculously shallow parts of the river sometimes.

I usually go with option C, but I don't add borax before freezing my roe. I take mine out from the freezer the night before, so it defrosts and dries a bit more before it gets tossed in borax in the bait box. I usually cut them as I fish, sometimes I cut them into pieces just before I start fishing.

Yes he would have learnt how to do this from a chap that is now on the Island and now does his trade there. ;D ;D

As I told you while we fished Gwyn's the other day the coho season is done for the most part on the Chilliwack Vedder especially with the high water that many asked for and now have their wish. along with the unfavorable clarity situation we are now faced with.

Time for you to get ready for your baby duties anyway. ;D ;D

I got 2 coho last night, countless chum and a jack. Sounds like you need to change your spot.

It's funny some of the people that think because the conditions in the canal are not optimal, the season is done. There are plenty of fresh, chrome coho around, and the canal islands being slightly underwater is far from "high water"  ::)
