Hardly any rain last night in Chilliwack so river should be in good shape today. Unable to get out unless for the last hour as doing a volunteer shift at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve.

Slight overcast and about 6 degrees at the moment. Should hear some positive reports today I would think.

Chris, you should check out under the keith wilson bridge..on the yarrow side, we were below the bridge on weds. after the monsoon as we were coming back from above and just checking out the river. My buddy had to piss so we pulled off and under it..ANYWAYS,  the point of this is, there is about ten feet of line hanging from the middle down above the water there must be 50 floats and spoons,,no more like a hundred hanging from it..i couldn't figure a way to get out to it and it was way to far to try and grab with my fly line...but it's like a jewel waiting to be plucked!!

That's my trap out there, set to catch Chris' lost drennans

Thanks for the tip but is a bit dangerous to go out there until the water drops. After my shift at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve today I went for a look to check the river conditions. They looked perfect by the way. Heard reports of at least 4 fish and I am sure there was more and will await Big Steel's report.

Checked a small log jam and recovered 5 floats including a No4  Zeppler 24 gram drennan and  No3 piker 20 gram.

No marking that would identify them as FA's.

Hey Chris, when you run out of the ones you find, let me know and I'll give you a nice pensioners discount on some new Drennan's!!

Thanks very much but I have found 3 in the last two days and now have a dozen. More people use them all the time so find a lot more now. I was an early user of them and told anglers how nice they were to fish with so more people started to use them including the Master hence more users equals more lost.

Can't beat the Drennan that's for sure. I have been fishing them from their arrival in BC. Brian from West Coast tackle was the first tackle store in BC to carry them. His customers from the UK told him about them. He had them two years ahead of Freds, Hubbs, etc.. . I have been fishing them ever since Brian put me on them years and years and years ago.
If fishermen don't dredge the bottom, they will find a Drennan can last a long time.

Now that I mention it, I should thank Biffchan for picking one of mine up for me off of the flow the other day. I didn't want to walk in his water to get it. Damn big pockets!

I have done several tests with them ( I am a bit of a obsessed fisherman  who likes to experiment with tackle and bait.) I put them up to tests against balsa, and cork floats. They beat the heck out of both of them by far!! The close second is the balsa for sensitivity and weight support capabilities.

Tight lines!

Yes thanks for the reminder, I will have to put one on for tomorrow's trip. It certainly will get me a fish.
