Did the afternoon thing again today... lost 2 coho on twitched jigs. Still lots in the system which is nice. My friend beside me landed 2 hatch's on the fly and was kind enough to give me the row

Very nice Milo!  On the fly as well!  Don't tell me you caught those coho on that pink fly?  I'd like to break out my flyrod as well but...more big rain coming and back to work though!  Nice job.   

Thank you.
Yes, the large pink And purple fly caught the coho in whose mouth it is sitting. The others were caught with the more conventional coho flies - sparkly wooly bugger and sparse christmas tree.

I was out today. Total bust coho-wise, but I did find a few willing chum to play with. It was a great  day to be out on the river.

Always nice when you can catch chrome fish like this on a jig you tied the night before !!! 



Met a few ppl from the forums today they were all nice and fishing ethically which is great to see. If you see a kid with pink all over him and a glowing orange pin come say hi.

Always nice to catch a fish on something you made yourself. Well done!

Hoping there's some left on Sunday and that the weather is tolerable...

Hoping there's some left on Sunday and that the weather is tolerable...

Not a chance of weather being tolerable or fishable conditions on the vedder Sunday, calling for over a 100mm between now and end of tomorrow.

Yes, but there is often a difference between forecasts and reality...

I'm wondering if a backup river system should be considered.

Yes, but there is often a difference between forecasts and reality...

So true...a couple of weeks ago it was forecast that Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo would be wiped off the face of Earth due to tropical cyclone Patricia, the strongest ever recorded in history. The reality was much different - just your average seasonal storm - with no serious damage or fatalities, not unlike what we are about to experience in Vancouver tonight.

FWIW, Sunday could be a washout, but it might as well be a splendid day for fishing.

How was the fishing in Puerto Vallarta?
That storm had so much forewarning and on shore preparations were taken very seriously and therefore had a smaller impact due to preparation.
It was a storm of the century that never got a good CNN run due to other events.
 
Venture forth with optimism and caution.
I only use the weather forecast as a guide in the decision making process.
I've driven hours on a few occasions only to look at the water.
Let better judgement allow you other days.

If you do go out, keep in mind that safety is most important. Everyone have a good weekend 

[halcyonguitars]

Only one way to find out. I wonder what a good plan b would be...

[sugartooth]

A good plan b would be Sunday morning fishing shows. 
Nice fish. Nice fish Sr. Big coast. Bob izumi's real fishing. Canadian fishing adventures.
And of course my favorite - Fishing with Ladin.

Squamish area rivers offer good fishing for coho....

Squamish area rivers offer good fishing for coho....

And this thread offers excellent opportunities for trolling.

[halcyonguitars]

I don't have a boat, so no trolling, strictly whatever I can find from shore.
