 My dad and his friends went to the Vedder today...my dad caught 1 spring along with 1 sockeye. The spring was about an 17 pounder, and was in very good condition.

[spring_killer]

He was fishing at Lickman road. He said that many fish were landed there today..ALOT of sockeyes  no surprise..and he caught it on pink wool.

In the deep pool? up the trail a bit by the bench?

[spring_killer]

Yeah he caught them in the deeper water. Sorry Doc i dont have a pic or anything. But the color was very light...i hope that helps..if not, i will get all the info sooner than later.

The Lickman gong hole.   And just to think last week you told me it wasnt early and to go look for good fish water. What would I rather do, fish with the gongers and 6-12 foot leaders with a bouncing betty under a float or go fish water on my own and not be disugusted with the ripping of floats on the surface and snagging of sockeyes. Heard river is being shut down next week, Im sure happy and it look slike it may be true cuz DFO is out patrolling.

I like to the lower part of lickman. Because  It's easier to land fish there too, also you got a long rocky beach there.

Yes trout slayer, the gong hole , was there with carlo and aaron checking it out and very disgusted in the way the people where fishing , Targiting the sockeye with there 6-9ft leader and bouncing betty's and you not even alloued to target them, also happy that they are thinking of shutting it down, cause of the sockeye

[Trout Slayer]

You must be a damn good fisherman with that many bites.

[FishKid]

Yeah, I hate that ripping sound.  Those guys set the hook after every drift.  That's not the right way to fish.  And fishing this way you hook more fish in the body than in the mouth.  Just let your float drift down and once it goes under set the hook.

And I thought I was good , thanks for the expert opinion robert

thanxs for the report spring_Killer why dident you go  with your dad?

[FishKid]

  Wool colour doesn't really matter.  I've seen guys catch springs on orange, pink, red, red and white, cotton candy colour, peach, and many more colours and combinations.  It's more personal preference.  If someone is confident in using a certain colour, they'll catch fish.  But if you're usure of yourself or your technique you'll get skunked.  The key is confidence.

spring arent pickie, if you get it infront of there face theyll take it, Even if you choose to floss them

hey robert set the hook like me and u yesterday eh? lol

Doc SG is trying to mock you asking questions about the wool colour if you haven't noticed
