It was *wow* busy on the river this Saturday.

Guys stacked in every spot; incredible.

Fishing was so so.

What I find incredible is lots of fish still make it past everyone all the way to hatchery

Found it slow in the lower first light. A lot of rippers upstream of me maybe scaring the fish? But 1 of the 2 people below me actually fishing lost a coho or jack nook at shore.
Went upriver a bit and got a couple hits late morning (landed none) then dashed.
Fish definitely all throughout the system from what I've heard and upcoming rain will only help.

if weatherman on his game, yes. Ground is really dry, won't soak up much water. Should be good by Friday/weekend imo.

Actually the opposite. The ground will soak up the rain like a sponge. We need consecutive days of steady rain to make a difference in the extremely low water conditions.

The same guy was patrolling the fraser spot that I was fishing for the last two weeks, we met almost everyday, so had a little chat and he asked to take a look at my fish and asked if I could give him the fish head, I showed him the fish but kept the head…the cheek meat is my 5 year old daughter’s fav….

You can still drop the head off… sans cheeks 😀

Fished morning today, was on fire. Had 10+ bites and hooked into 3 species today, kept 2 cohos. Saw a chum as well, so everything is in there.
Rain yesterday gave the river some good color, now just need some more water!

Went to the vedder today and landed 1 pink using a tasmanian devil knock off. There were hundreds of people which made it difficult to find places to cast. Unfortunately, I also saw lots of people snagging pinks, and they all pulled the "no english card" on me  ::)
Anyone got tips for chinooks in the vedder?
