Vedder Majorly Blown
« on: October 17, 2005, 03:21:05 PM »
I just got word from my dad saying that his buddy drove over the vedder and it doesnt even look like water. it's so muddy, there's huge trees and crap coming down. all the years hes fished there, it definately the highest he's seen it.

Looks like the next few days will be a right off for the Ved :P :-[ :P :-[ :P :-[

With the higher water levels springs will  at least get a short reprieve from all the snaggers, flossers , jiggers, sight fishers, or whatever terminology you would like to try and justify. Angling ethics by the majority of anglers observed on the weekend have totally been abandoned. These fish do not deserve to be  harassed and caught in this manner. Thank God for weather events like this. The only positive is, these fishers will watch hell freeze over before they ever learn to catch a steelhead.

I could not have said it better myself, because of these "fishermen" I have decided to fish the lower fraser for a few weeks!!!!  I couldn't watch that crap anymore :( :(  But, I guess that it paid off, 3 coho this weekend, barfishing!!!!! ;D ;D  Already looking forward to steelhead season.  The only season that seems to keep a lot of the "fishermen" at home. ::) ::)

    You made the right decision to fish the Fraser. Great to hear someone caught a fish legally this weekend.

Unfortunately more and more people are going steelheading!  The tactics in some spots (behind the store) get to be very similar to what is taking place now!   :'(

you should definitely wait, or fish a different system such as the Stave that is dam controlled. The chance of it dropping back to fishable level by afternoon is almost zero.
