The Rain, Has Come
« on: October 12, 2012, 06:29:17 AM »
Rain now falling on the Vedder River, please be careful as you drive to work and to the river as the roads will be very slick after the long dry period.

In all my yrs living in the Vancouver area I never have remembered such a dry spell from basically July to the present date Oct 10-11.

Cowichan watershed hopefully will also get a lot of rain.

Salmon surely will be on the move in local rivers.

Super cloudy / showery Spring & then dry sunny summer into the fall so it all evens out.
Are we in for cloudy skies till June 2013 ????

All the best on your fishing outting.

I was dragging the prop on the bottom of the "blown out" river. :-\ The ground is so dry it's going to suck up lots of the rain.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

I guess those that wanted rain have now got their wish and along with that you have mud and unfishable conditions except for flossing and long linning. ::) I got the garbage bin out in time at KWB before it washed away tonight. Thanks to all that used it as I cleaned it out several times and have a few hundred pounds now to dispose of. See pictures of what it looked like at KWB at dark on the FVSS facebook page..

I wanted the rain for the sake of the resource. The situation had gotten critical and the rain was badly needed.
So what if the conditions are unfishable for a few days?

As for the flossers and long liners - I didn't see low water conditions keep them away.
Beeks will be beeks regardless of the conditions.

All I know is this rain might be life saving for a good number of fish and their offspring.
Paraphrasing Spock: The need of the many (fish) outweigh the need of the few (anglers).  ;)

Went to the capilano today and man it's fast, what lures do you put under your floats for fast water conditions, be it here or someplace else like the vedder
