Danny you guys must have intercepted the fish that we were trying to catch down here at 3pm...
I arrived at the river at around 2pm, not a single person around. I turned around, who do I see? gman drove up and parked behind me, followed me that sneaky guy.
Anyways, I got down to the river and fished right away, gman got out of his working clothes, and ventured down but kept walking downstream as if he was fearing my skunk.
He kept walking, and walking... ended up 50 meters below me.
We had the entire place to ourselves, no one upstream, no one downstream, just the two eagles that were circling high above us.
The little bay in front of us were holding some pink salmon, they were surfacing every now and then. The water clarity was slightly dirtier than yesterday, making things a bit harder.
After 30 minutes or so, still no action, it was getting frustrating. gman claimed he saw a large sturgeon jump, I missed it...
I finally hooked one an hour later, but it came off again after a few kicks! I didn't even yell fish on, so gman didn't even look up to see what was going on. After that, a few more taps, and the school was gone! gman left to his workout, and I was alone and getting bored very fast. I ended up leaving the place and headed to No. 3 Road, where I saw ahans and pierboy casting into the head wind. No luck according to them, pierboy hooked into two fish he said. I fished for awhile and decided to go home as I was getting very hungry...
Here's a Vedder River spring jack by the way, give you an idea how big they are.
