Chilliwack River, January 31st 2017
« on: January 31, 2017, 12:11:03 PM »


Not a bad quick one hour outing this morning at first light. Hooked a couple of fish and managed to land this one. Not very big, but good enough, around 6lb. :)

Nice work Rod, good to see you have found that sweet spot.  Wish I was out doing some fishing myself but I am laid up with a bad back this season.  I will be back at it after some surgery.  Looking forward to wetting a line by next fall.  Good luck everyone.

Rod, that might be the largest residual I have seen from the Vedder ;)

Hey Rod,

What do you have paired with that Curado? I'm looking for something that sits well with a rell that is a similar size to that.

The rod is a Gloomis IMX 1262-2C, rated 6 - 12lb, I love it.

LOL! I was going to say there is no confusing that one with a resident as there may have been with the photo from a few days ago.
