It's looking like a real wet weekend.  River might be blown by Saturday evening.

Ya,  the fish move in waves.
How long the bite stays in often depends on how many fish are in the moving school.
Sitting/fence posting at some spots can change from boring to frenzy and back to boring quite quickly.
Timing is everything.
I've given up on a spot after a while and  often found out I should have stayed a little longer.
On the other hand I've also moved (more than a few feet) and  intercepted, and had amazing days.

Having said that, there are some spots that will stack up fish and they turn off after dodgeing schrapnel for a while.

Honestly, that's the nicest Coho I've seen out of the Vedder in years. Mint.

River conditions remained unchanged at dusk despite of the rain. How it is in the morning will depend on how hard it rains overnight. Lots of chum salmon showed up since yesterday.

I fished the mid for from 8-10 and got tired of seeing nice coho roll and not touch my roe or blades so I hit the upper to play with some springs.
Landed 4 over a few hours and lost or broke off a few but it was still kind of slow until I noticed the water rise 2-3 inches and the pool I was fishing slightly changed and it turned on.  I landed 2 jack springs just over the 62 cm limit that were in great shape and released them and one slightly coloured 20lb male before landing a mid 20's female that's brining in demerra right now and her eggs are curing too.
I hit the canal for a bit but was bagged so headed for home right when the evening bite was turning on.

Tomorrow and Friday should be really good!!

Sounds like a good day for you. Just to clarify your two "jack springs" were in fact considered adult chinook once they're over 62cms.
