Vedder River Conditions?
« on: June 30, 2014, 12:02:11 PM »

Can anyone give an update on clarity ahead of tomorrow's opener?  I know it is nearly 2.5 meters at the crossing, which is pretty high - I'm just hoping for green water and not brown.  A picture would be great.   ;D

Can't say anything about the clarity but fishing usually isn't that good until about after the 10-15th (give or take). This year looks to be shaping up for a pretty good run so I hope people start getting into fish early. I didn't have my first multi fish day (not counting socks) till about the 12-15th the last few seasons. Itching for it it start as it is one of my favourite fisheries.

I would almost guarantee the majority of those fish are sockeye. They jump often while moving up river

River is still pretty high, water colour looks good. Mid river and up look pretty good. Canal is still high and backed up from Fraser's freshet as expected.

the reason is a lot of anglers don't like to post about how great of a year they are having online. Especially because that can draw some extra fishing pressure to their fav honey hole. Some talk to their local tackle shop guys because theyve become friends over the years
