Nice video.
Don't fall in the river though.

This made me laugh! With a little bit of editing, the last 3 lines would be a killer haiku :)

People should check out Gadsden's gear, lol!!  Betchca there's an 1/8 " of borax crusted on the handle and on his old Avon :o
Let's not even talk about his waders ...

Ever notice nobody fishes next to Chris ? Aside from that Make Belief cap, the smell of his rods and waders deter other anglers from fishing next to him. It's all part of his elaborate plan folks.  ;D ;D

Hooked a coho, almost landed her but lost her as I touched the leader. First time the trailing hook method has lost me a coho.


Also hooked a chum or spring, but lost it while it was deep.
How many fish have you hooked with the trailer hook method?

Just curious.

Probably 15? That might even be generous. I used it last season and this season so far.


Edit: 9, I had fishermanitis...

I'm thinking of hitting the river tomorrow morning and I am wondering how is the water clarity guys? Is it chocolate milk already? The online graph shows a rise but not substantial after yesterdays showers.

Half a foot over 24 hours is not much. My guess is clarity is still very good as I type this. But I would definitely check the graph in the morning. If it goes through the roof, then chocolate milk is very likely. It's just too early to know.

Water clarity has not changed since the rain started. River level is still very good. How the river will be in the morning depends on the amount of rain coming down tonight, which is quite heavy right now already.

Heavy rain is bumping the river level up as expected but it was very fishable this morning until now. Sweltzer Creek is feeding muddy water into the river now so the lower river condition is pretty poor.

Pretty good morning for once. After losing just about every single fish in the past two or three days, three wilds and one hatchery fish were brought in. 100% landing ratio is always good regardless whether the fish can be kept or not. :)

yeah lower vedder is murk! Very unfishable right now. At first light it was very good my second cast i got a 8-9lb wild doe. Ended up retaining 3 nice hatchs. My buddy there got a huge 10+lb wild buck and that thing was a slab of silver! I had to tail it for him what a beautiful fish! All in all i ended up with 3 wilds to the beach and many hookups for a few seconds then the hook comes and pops out.
