Fished middle and upper today. The river is in such good shape! Unfortunately not many fish around. I knew I shoulda gone lower instead of upper!  Ah well, beats the crap out of workin' ;)

I just pack up and move on. It's not worth it. 1 guy was holding a knife in his hand when he asked my friend "what are u gonna do about it?" When my friend asked him to return a fouled hooked fish.

I understand your apprehension, but I wish I had been there with you. I give you my word it would have played out differently.

Well said Milo. Push back is important and necessary.

Well I went again this morning to the same spot for a few hours for the first light bite...and I was the only rod there....got into several springs. It was nice and peaceful, quite a contrast to just 24 hrs previous

By "Upper" are you meaning above the Vedder bridge?  or just the usual spots below the Vedder bridge?

Further to Rod's reply (and because when I was younger I always wondered what the differences were), the breakdown of "sections" for the C/V River are, I believe:

Upper: ABOVE Tamahi Bridge
Mid-river: BELOW Tamahi Bridge, but ABOVE Vedder Crossing Bridge
Lower: BELOW Vedder Crossing Bridge, but ABOVE Keith Wilson Bridge
Canal: BELOW Keith Wilson Bridge

Some other people may term the sections differently, but these are the most used definitions as I understand it.

Fished Wilson today, no fish caught while I was there. One guy claimed he had a hatch, but did not see any kept fish with him. Fished spinners and jigs.

Fished the lower this morning with 4 other guys. One caught 2 hatch cohos and I saw one angler across from us landing and releasing a dark chum. I then moved to mid river after 10 o'clock where I was rewarded by a nice 7 lb male hatch on last year's roe. I drove by the Tamahai rapids and didn't see that many cars in the area. Maybe towing is not as productive as previous years... :D

Didn't have any hits today on the lower. Started around 7 AM and finished by 9 AM. River is in excellent shape now. Pretty much out of roe again as I only had the roe from the last coho doe I caught a couple days ago.. Time to bring out the prawn/wool combo again I guess. Where are all these springs you guys have been catching?! Lol it seems like since I actually want to catch a spring or a chum doe, I only catch bucks.. Well all in due time I guess. Good luck out there all!

Got 10 cohos today 8 hatch and 2 wild. Between the two of us we bonked 5. The other hatches were literally on the shore but the hook popped out right as I was grabbing it and they got away. Also got a nice chrome chum
