Congratulations!  For your 50th Wedding Anniversary.

I hope you and your wife have many....many more to celebrate!

I was going to congratulate you on being at the point of not catching flack for going fishing but the anniversary is exciting too.

Well this high water really isn't such a bad thing. I'd rather have it now than in 2 weeks. Should really help to get the early season Coho and Springs coming in.

Very muddy this AM and some heavy rain, not fishable for biting fish, hoping it may clear by the AM tomorrow. Thought I saw a chinook boil yesterday

Water flow seems very quick too. Tossed some spoons and tried doing some float fishing. However the presentations went by quickly..

For pinks I find try to find some slower moving water, they like to lay in this area.

Water nice this AM, landed a good number of pinks, all males.

Deli shrimp with a little pro cure added, a tad of pink wool also. Cannot miss with that.

A hatchery summer run on the Vedder would be a spectacularly rare catch. I believe the hatchery only sees one or two summer runs per year.

I believe TheLostSockeye may have been talking about catching a steelhead smolt. Could be wrong, but as you mentioned, extremely hard, or pretty well impossible to catch a summer run steelhead on the C-V.

[typhoon]

Ahhh, that makes sense. To me a Steelhead must have gone to the ocean, so a smolt is just a hatchery rainbow.
I did make a visit to the hatchery a few summers ago and found a lone summer run ~8lbs sitting at the outflow.

Perfect conditions today, and hundreds of fish seen. They weren't too interested in playing ball though.

River was boiling with them tonight and they were very willing biters towards dark. Took a limit of fresh ones, will try canning, never had before. I know, most likly not as good as other salmon but of course fish are good for us, while they are not from pens.

Better for you than most salmon due to their shorter life cycle (less time to accumulate pollutants).
