after catching my first salmon last week, i'd decided to head to the vedder again today to test out my luck and newly learned skills again. arrived at around 7:30am, at KWB there were already a lot of fishermen.  Saw a guy landing a huge 35lbs spring, he fought it for a good half an hour i guess.    we walked a bit upstream to find a good hole, no luck on that.  Two springs landed by the guys in a span of 10 mins, lots of double headers too. What was more interesting was that more chums were landed today than the spring.  i couldn't seem to find anymore fresh pinks, lots of spawned out, dying and dead pinks around.  a lot of them downstream was in very bad shape too.  lost 2 jig heads today and two drennan.  Had no idea how to tie up a roe, someone there intructed me how i could tighten it with the loop.   Water clarity became worse around 4pm as the rain was falling hard.  guys beside me landed 4 chums, 2 foul hooked and they bonked and kept them all!!  too bad that the CO didn't come on time.  As the COs were there, two guys were busted for using barbed hooks.  left at around 5pm..    word of the day... SKUNKED!

How bad was the river when you left.  Do you think it'll blow with this rain?

by the time we left, the water visibility has worsen up, and if the rain keeps falling overnight like it has been all day long, i would very much believe it would blow by tomorrow.  but i am not sure if u can afford losing the best coho fishing moment of the year, as the water level risen.

" lost 2 jig heads today and two drennan"

2 drennans outch!!! that musta hurt!

[Floater]

You lost the drennens cuz you dont use a heavy enough main line braided is the way to go!!!

[limit time]

i agre braided is good. i use fireline,but if you fish alot,plan on respooling 3 times a season. it has a wax coating and when it wares off the line starts to fray.

Fire line, you mean piano wire,

[THE_ROE_SLINGER]

FIRE LINE..I take it you guys bottom bounce

Some people use braided line with 25 pnd leaders and just tank in huge springs! is that really fun?

[Floater]

I use 20 pound braided i dont see how its different form using 20 pound mono. I like the braided cuz there is no stretch when you snag on other lines in the water.  I also like it cuz its very thin it casts smoother i think it had nothing to do with BB but yah like i said before i do floss the sox. Does not mean i bring the ethics to the vedder.

enoughf of the flossing already   i like it because the diameter is smaller than mono,and allows you toget more line on the spool.
 i use a 20# momo leader and if i snag or the big one breaks my line i dont lose everything

ps.   no memary,like mono.

        to me its a pain when on the vedder,( or any sholder to sholder place) a guy has 10# leader and lets it run from one end to another while everyone stands and watches.  and ya if catch a fish(or anyone) you should get it fast so you dont tire it out and it dies.
