Title: Chehalis-Vedder December 26th
Post by: Youngin on December 26, 2005, 01:38:52 PM
Well.. today started off with the vedder... went up to the tahimi bridge to see a light brown colour... probbaly fishable but not by my standards (almost no visibility) :( water was really high at the lower river and almost chocolate brown!! so I said screw this! went to check out the chehalis river!! got to the hatchery and saw a lot of coho coming in! wow surprised.. most are boots... maybe some keepers in there just gotta look! didn't even take my rod out, pouring rain at harrison and crappy water at chilliwack.. what a rip off :P next time.. ( I hope there will be a next time for me )  by the way, unless the rain stops the river will be in no condition for a derby by sunday :S sorry to say...

Yeah, that would have been a smart thing to bring, huh.. of course I had a jacket but I do not like to stand in the rain. It is just not pleasant I'd reather sit at home! I wasn't expecting a lot of rain at harrison, but it was really raining hard. I would not mind a light breeze but I hate heavy rain

RAIN SUCKS especially during steelheading. It gets cold enough during winter without all the rain to chill you to the bone.

Hey I am not saying that I do not go out in the rain. The rain will never stop me from going out unless THE RIVER GETS BLOWN OUT  :'( :'( :'(

You have someone who will bring you all that way to go fishing and when you say you don't want to fish because its drizzling they will take you home :o.

lol. I would maybe fish a little in the rain, its mainly my dad who doesn't like it, and he's the driver! Everybody has their own thing!!

Unless your a witch rain wont hurt you ;D. just layer up and wear a jacket should be fine for a while plus its warm out record highs. We had 18 above here the other day.

but then you have to wear a hood over your head :( and I hate those!! and if you dont wear it your head gets all wet which is even worse!! and then your hands get all wet and they start to freeze and you cant get a fish and you slip and fall... :D It's just me! a little rain doesn't hurt me, but when it starts pouring and goes in your face I cant stand it!!

Hi Youngin. What time were you at the Chehalis today? I'm thinking of going tomorrow, and I'm interested in the water conditions and the time of day you were there.

Thanks.

GO CANUCKS!!

Wear a waterproff hat if you dont like a hood and neoprene gloves to keep your hands warm/dry. I dunno why but i like fishing inthe rain more than the sun. Fish dont spook quite as much and not as many people.

personally i would rather wear a hood and stand on the river all day than sit home with TV remote in my hand and some times i even like to wear my hood around the house,it helps to filter out my wifes bitching and complaining,lol
