Title: Vedder 29th December 2006
Post by: testo84 on December 29, 2006, 05:26:44 PM
Me and dead head and Nuggy went to vedder

was quite a sunny day and in the noon it started getting cold and flurry

deadhead got his steelhead in his very first cast ( maybe 1 minute after we were in that spot ? ) when we decided to check a small stream

me got hit twice and since i wasnt that expert in fishing couldnt hook it well

and nuggy got few bites too

so deadhead basically stopped fishing after about few minutes after we came hehe !

his steelhead was 12 pound ( weighted in fred when he picked up his modded reel ) and it is a doe

here are some pictures

Fished about a hour this morning water conditions good then Gwyn and I put in around a hundred coho carcasses from the Chilliwack River Hatchery into a few off channel areas of the Chilliwack River.

Got a call from The Master out for is first steelhead trip of the new season. He got a Dolly that he said was the biggest he has caught ever on the Vedder, I believe he said it was over 10. No camera as he had it in for repairs. ::) I could not help as I was on the otherside of the river.

I went out for the last hour after doing the coho but nothing, explored some new water, heard two were caught earlier in the day where I was fishing. ;D

Another day of a skunk but at least I got close to a lot of coho although they were a bit red and dead.

Tomorrow is another day, getting closer to a Iron, I hope.

So here is my lackluster report from yesterday!! :-\

Made it out for a long day yesterday, fished from first light through till after 3.  Started up top, saw nothing there, then hit mid, and after a while, saw a couple.  A nice 12-13 lb long slender doe.  Man that was a beautiful fish,  Took a couple pics for the guy and his dog.  Funny thing the dog grabbed the guys line a couple times, and I thought for sure the fish was going to make it's escape.  :o ???  But I ran out into the river and grabbed the fish when I saw it was a hatchery.  Then after pounding it a bit more, headed down to the Peach rd area and realized that the water I wanted to fish now was on the other side of the river.  Mental note for next time.  Nice water down there, just better fished from the other bank.  Hammered it around the area for about 2 hrs then decided I was done. Saw or heard of nothing in that area.  0-6 and counting for me!!  Getting to be a man possessed now, and think that I will head up tomorrow and New Years day, so no partying for me, this is more important!!  ;D  The cool thing is, the girlfriend knows how important this is to me, and backs me 100%!!!  :o    SO I may be 0 fer 8 by the time I have to go back to work, but not for lack of trying. But I am getting closer, the last few trips I have been in the right general area, and I now have 5 runs that I have seen produce fish.  So.......

I warned you that the searun curse works  ;D . You never believe me but once he puts it on it is there till he decides to take it off. I guess you better be really nice to him or it will last all steelhead season.

Wow, DH had his steely in one cast and BS ( a top rod in the forum) had o in 6 tries (probably thousands of casts). Such is steelheading. Congrats to your beauty DH, and keep on trucking BS.  ;D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D  Thanks SteelHawk :-[ :-[ :-[  Not Sure how to take that!! ;D  Anyhow, I put the Curse on the Freak today, so we'll see how he does!!  Also I wasn't aware that Searun put the curse back on me!!! ;D ;D

Post by: Geff_t on December 30, 2006, 04:34:24 PM
Don't worry freak the searun curse is the most powerful curse out there when it comes to fishing  ;D . I would take any other curse but if I had the searun curse put on me I would be screwed for the season. Sorry BS. You better be nice to him.

You know you are totally souding like a crazed hack, and losing credibilty if you ever had any.  Curses, there are no curses other than you actually catching one for only what the 3rd time since I met you. ::)  Now you won't shut the hell up.  Really man, learn when to shut up.  It was one fish.  Come at me when you can hit more than 5 in one season.

Don't mean any harm BS. Curse or no curse, the top rods will come out on top at the end of the season for sure. Right now early in the season with very few fish around, luck is more important than skill in catching a steely. Look forward to many of your catch reports, much more than us so-so rods.  :)

Take a pill
That happy place is on the river and I will be back there tomorrow and the next day!!  As for being a Top Rod, well.....I am not one, I am just a guy that has a lot to learn still.  That is why I spend so much time out there watching the river and trying to figure out this game.

FlyGuy, have your fun now.  You deserve it I guess after not being to make it out that much over the last couple seasons.  You know I won't stay down for that long.  Persistance always pays off. ;)

A double hernia surgery right at the beginning of steelhead season two years ago and working 90 hours a week at three jobs to put the wife threw school last year made it pretty tough to get out and fish. Spent my free time in bed.

Don't worry Big Steel, I am around 0 for 12, although have had two fish on but not absolutely sure if the were steel, the good part is we know they will come and the longer we wait the sweeter it is when we do connect. ;D ;D ;D

Talked to The Master today, he was shopping in the morning so he most likly did not get out. He confirmed his dolly from yesterday was around 10 pounds and he also got a bright doe dog after landing the dolly.

Heard the Tooth got his first of the year today, so mine is right around the corner, I hope. ;D

Totally agreed, I was sthinking about that earlier today.  How good it was going to feel after putting in all this time to get into one.  I am looking forward to that feeling tomorrow!! ;D ;D  Or perhaps the next day........ ;D

I'll be out there on Monday just not the Vedder. I dont feel so bad only being 0-2. If I were 0-6 I would start getting worried LOL

Hey Steel you should have a small wager with the Freak of the Week. He is sounding pretty confident. Should make him a bet about the totals for the end of the year.

OH AND YOU BOTH OH ME $5!!!! FOR THE BET WE HAD AT THE DERBY. :D
