Two steelhead December 28th
« on: December 28, 2005, 04:08:45 PM »

Went out with winter Steel today.  After 4 casts WS hooks into a nice chrome bullet of about 8lbs, it put up a great fight and as he gets it near shore we see its a hatchery.  He thought for a second about letting it go but decided to keep it. So he has to put his rod down now and wait for me. It took a few hours but I got a 10/11 lb wild doe that we released after a few pictures. We also got a few coho as well, too old to keep. Good start to the season!!

Well done. I slipped out for an hour this afternoon after badminton but nothing except I found 3 floats. The river was not the best in the lower reachs anyway, it was about 14 inchs tops at dark. However should improve overnight as it is clear out now after some heavy rain for a good part of the day.

Talked to another angler who also found 2 steelhead today so hopes are up for tomorrow.

When you catch a steelhead, you have to stop fishing on THAT river right? so you could still go to the chehalis or something to fish?

Yes, I believe you can go to another river.  Anyone else have an opinion?

Thanks for the Stamp report Mr Pink. I was supposed to be at the Stamp today but we cancelled because of the conditions.  Too bad but we are now trying to reschedule for Jan 9th.

That is true. If you bonk a steelhead on the Vedder you are finished with that system for the day but can continue your fishing on another system such as the Chehalis or Stave.

fished 3 hours this morning in the upper river today while in the wack on some errands. nothing for the first 2 hours and 40 minutes, but i decided, okay, have a smoke while i fish, then go do the stuff i had to do. nothin on 4 inch or 6 inch pink worms, nothin on roe, nothin on blades, but a nice 10 lbs or so doe took the spin nglo prawn rig, in a 3 ft deep seam a couple feet from shore. was funny scrambling to set the hook cuz the float was near right in front of me. conditions were less than optimum that's for sure. visibility 12inches to 1 1/2 feet tops and flowing too strong for anything but tight to shore drifts where i was fishing. will be out in the a.m. tomorrow I'm off to an out of the way flow with a gorgeous fishn babe in tow... i found out they do exist hehe. maybe i'll post a report hehe
on a report note, I have heard from a few friends in chilliwack and from abbey that the river has taken in a good number of fish with increasing reports even though this weather sucks. good news for this season
