So I'll try and keep this fairly brief, doesn't look like I'm going to be able to get out of here and hit the Methow river this weekend, so I took my first day off for fishing in a month and hit the Vedder. I got a new set up for salmon, steelhead and wanted to try it out. ( Sage 990 xp, hardy swift reel, andronm. advantage line Rio, 4 heads)....Tied some silver patterns and wanted to see how they worked as well.
Hit spot one...Well, sure a lot of leaves since winter huh? Damn, I grew up and am still a city boy..I saw bear scat and tracks all along the river, I was a whistling fool going through all those trees so that alone was an adventure, fished this spot awhile without any luck...was an excellent morning though...
Headed further up river, love this spot and normally pull some decent salmon out of here when using my bait gear...Didn't see or get anything here today but again, it was an excellent time. Switched over to a pink and orange fly and no love still....
Was heading down to my other favorite spot and heard on the radio that the borders were backing up big time...Forgot about the damn holiday...Busted back and only got hung up for a half hour at Sumas....Sure would have liked to stay longer...LOTS of campers heading up on the Vedder already, lots of tents and garbage spring up...Sure sucks seeing that, can't wait till fall...OH and I didn't get broken into..which always makes me feel good!!! Paranoid but determined!!
1st run at 7ish am
1st run looking across, water was sure nice..
