Went out to the vedder today not too early left new westminster at around 7am. Stoped by freds to get new line put on the reel( they got a machine and its much faster
) asked one of the guy if the pinks had showed up he told me yah with not much excitment so i thought it was just the tackle sell talk. The water was very low but there was some rain friday night so i think it helped move some fish up. With the water situation being grim i decided to go to one part of the lower river where its allways deep on one side. When i arrived i was amazed the place was taken over by fly fishermen but there was still room for a floater so i stayed way from the fly guys and did my thing. Pinks where jumping everywhere in the first 10 mins so i was excited cuz the fish were really there but no one was getting any bites at all. The fish seemed to be rolling and jumping all over but the dry fly guys had no luck too so somethng was up. I decided i would go to the other side right into the deep part of the run. When i got there i was amazed the whole bottom was FULL of pinks all nestled by the rocks. I quickly adjusted my depth and did a few runs with pink wool right by there noses and nature had taken its course and a few bucks couldent resist lol. The fish were still very bright and chrome and virtualy no humps so i boinked both of them for smoking. The action was light after that just one or two guys getting some fish. The weird part of the whole day was the mortality rate of the pinks i saw plenty perfectly healthy chrome does beaching themselfs and just floating down river dead
. This is very weird because the fish were very fresh also to add a huge sockeye buck was also rotting on the beach not a good thing. Anyways the pinks are there now just gotta fish them deep pools they seem to be traped there ,if we get some rain this week i think the fish are gona dominate the river by next weekend.
Good fishing and good luck to ya all.
