Slipped out for the last two hours of daylight for a little fishing and check the water conditions for the weekend fishers.
The river had improved a lot from this morning and was in perfect condition in my mind so if no heavy rain overnight tomorrow should be a perfect start for the Thanksgiving Weekend.
Hopefuil as well there will be some coho to catch as they are long overdue.
Tonight all I could catch coho wise was a unclipped jack that hooked itself as I was watching an Amercian Dipper chasing, catching and then eating a moth.
Did not even have the pleasure of seeing the drennan float going under because of this.
Also were bothered by a lot of small smolts that kept robbing my spring and pink roe. Anyone else having the same problem. I even landed one about 3 inchs long.
Saw a number of fish surfacing at dark once again, most of them looked like springs
So with 5 trips under my belt a poor record so far this season on the Vedder, two Coho jacks, one spring, one unclipped coho and tonights smolt. O yes, and that sucker on my first outing
Things should improve shortly.
