After That First Steelhead, Vedder Dec. 29th
« on: December 29, 2005, 05:28:47 PM »

Got out on the Vedder at 12 and fished one run at Lickman Road but nothing. A few other anglers on both side of the river. Talked to three anglers and one had taken a wild fish.

Then moved up and fished some good water above the Crossing but no fish there but did pick up a nice drennan float in a log jam. ;D

To end the day checked out the area on the left bank in the Peach Road area but did not find that much good water. The visibility was close to 2 feet I guess.

An enjoyable day anyway and got some exercise as I must have walked about 4 miles in the 4.5 hours I fished. Am now 0 for 4 trips.

Chris, I bet you didn't know who was yelling at you from the far bank at Lickman today ::)? BTW I lost one above the Ranger this morning.

Yes it is sure nice to find them, the drennan was the only float I found today and I covered a lot of river. I have a good supply now ;D ;D, and yes I have never bought one. To costly as well for a person on a pension. Also found a couple of $'s of beer tins that will buy an extra large double double at Tim's. ;D

If I could have only found a steelhead it would have been a perfect day. Anyone else get out today as it  is always good to hear everyone's report succesful or not.

yea i got out to a local flow and it was perfect conditions ;D i got there around 730 and fished a whole, then i met up with some friends and walked most of the river and didnt get a bite .

so we drove to a new spot and started to fish and we spread out and 10 min in i start to here swearing coming from down river. I looked and he had missed the hook set, so he cast there again and notin.

So it goes to say, always watch your float and dont day dream.

we had no other luck during the rest of the day
