What I asked is a photo buddy.
Went to vedder 5 times, only one hook up but finnaly lost. A new photo could cheer me up.
you could always check out Fish Porn.  Some very nice shots.

I haven't figured out how to post pics on here or I'd be glad to post a pic. Btw buddy, if you've had one steelhead hook up in 5 trips I envy you and you should be thrilled. This fish came to me after literally probably almost hundreds of hours of casting, hiking, stalking, obsessing, learning, yearning, frozen fingers and toes.... That's steelheading.

Water up a little but still good color, before the monsoon that they say is on the way. Missed a fish of some sort at Gwyn's run, took the bait off but must not have liked the taste of it and would not come back. :P Was good to meet John Revolver on the river as well today. I did not see any action while out for a 2 hour trip.

Great to meet you as well!

Started the day up Top ,great vis, sunny skies and steely green water. Then went down and did the lower river circuit peach/lickman/hopedale and then finished back up just above Tamahi to end the day.

Clouds were rolling in fast and water was rising and colouring up As I was leaving.  A good amount of anglers on the water for a weekday. Everyone was working through water very quickly which was good. I did not see or hear of any fish taken today.

River will most likely blow out over the evening

Would love to see the data on the graph but unfortunately it is down at the moment. Water is way higher than yesterday and full mud from top to bottom. Lots of debris heading down river. Was quite a few creeks going across chwk lk road this am.

Some new runs in the making

Just check out the road cam at the Vedder Crossing bridge for height and clarity of the river.
