It's much more safer to hunt for floats after the water level drops to normal range.

Be careful on the banks of a blown river - you might fall in and a krocodile could get you.
You wait until then and I will have them all. ;D

Water has cleared up nicely from yesterday's blowout. We should be back in business.

The best of the coho season is now over in the Chilliwack Vedder.

in case you still want to fish for coho( now that the coho season is over  :o  ) the river was looking excellent this morning......good color/ visibilty and the sun came out as well. But as chris was saying....lots of chum to be had.

Yes I never hooked a coho this week in the Vedder, today I went to the other side of the river but not a bite. Spent most of the day visiting and filming at the Weaver and Chehalis Hatchery as well some other areas.

I agree . Nothing but chum again for me this morning . Haven't had any coho action since around the 22nd or 23rd . The "hot spot" may not be so hot after all  ;D

Water condition is still very good.

Very nice Rod but too much blood, too much gore  :P - Halloween fish? No - I'm just jealous.

I have a question about the length you estimate that Coho was in fresh water. I see the nose is a little weathered and the tail has lost its shine and the fins are starting to get clouded. The overall shape looks very good and I would have taken that one without a second thought but I am curious as to what those in the know would say regarding the time it's been in the fresh water since returning.
