Took a long walk along the Vedder River today. Wow so many anglers out there, water conditions looked good but so much water. Did not see or hear of any fish caught or hooked.

It was good to talk to a few anglers I know and talk about the good old steelhead days of the past.

Visibility around 1.5 feet this morning, saw 3 anglers fishing around the Lickman parking lot area. Saw one coho salmon in Peach Creek. Bad cold is keeping me from fishing.

What a lovely day, it felt like spring out there. I just went out for walk to check out for areas to fish when I get rid of this cold I have. River was in excellent conditions with a fair number of anglers out there.

It was good to meet a couple of anglers that knew me from this forum. It was nice to talk to one of them about the old days as he had fished the river as long as I have.

No reports of any fish taken but the day was still young.

Took some good natured ribbing about me wearing my Toronto Maple Leaf sweater.

I will have it on when I have a picture with my first steelhead of the year.

Very few anglers on the river when I went out for a walk and check out some runs today.I guess the reason is there is few fish in the system right now.
