I also fished the Vedder yesterday with a couple of fly fisherman and we got into some fish. I managed to hook into a couple of cutties ( ALL released unharmed) and one suckerfish, which i've never caught before on the vedder. One of the flyfisherman I was with also caught a cuttie on a xmas tree pattern. Saw a couple of bigger fish do a some aerial acrobat moves, but I didn't manage to hook into any of them. I took the early season opportunity to experiment with a variety of different setups, leader length and wool combos, etc...
The river was fairly coloured in the morning and seemed to clear up a tad in the afternoon. The vedder seemed to escape the heavy rains that hit Vancouver in the morning and the weather was decent with a few showers. The river was moving fairly fast and the lower portion was uncrossable at the section of the river where I was fishing. Only a few people out yesterday which made it a relaxing day on the river. I'm looking forward to the Chum fishery as I love the the numbers and the fight they put up.
