the Vedder has turned into a floss fishery in the last few years, I see very few people trying to short float or toss lures for a fair bite. I think this is because
people just want the meat, I don't have a problem with flossing on the Vedder during coho season, but I think you pushing it when you're trying to floss steelhead.

Snag and Drag. / Flossers on the Vedder

Why don't you just go  to to this place if all you want is to kill some meat ?  Location - abbotsford
Probably quicker and saves you money - no lost tackle and get your limit quickly.

Looking forward to the IPO of this company, although a seasonal business. I see great opportunity.

There's room for expansion too. Additional complimentary services could be provided. Bringing vehicle back to spouse so he/she could use it while you fish, or simply park on the driveway so no one is aware that you're even out wetting a line.... We could hold your spot at 3am for you to take over when you arrive at dawn, then take your vehicle. Kind of like the seat fillers at the Oscars. And dropping your vehicle back an hour before fishing ends, so we can provide fish cleaning services and retie all your leaders for the following trip. These priveleges would cost though...

Don't forget lure and hook retrieval from snags, with or without scuba diving gear.

I better get in touch with Petr Herman to see if he wants to buy in on a % of the company. ;D

Well, Nina can do the cooking and cleaning, that's what wives do, no?

My kids are old enough to babysit now.

Damn, all I see are dollar signs before it even goes public.

Have you not seen the railway bridge and Vedder Crossing bridge....? And Tamihi rapids when water is high? 🤣
I have and explored the upper river as well , but people tend to overpopulate the easy spots where they can 'shoot fish in a barrel '
I am only suggesting make people work for their spot and you will indeed screen some of them out of the fishery .
From a fish spawning perspective this would give the fish a better chance to get through the canal where there is no cover or deeper water to rest and hide . The antics of this crowd gives the fishery here a black eye.
 I refuse to fish here as I think its similiar to the mentioned fish farm .

some rivers closing down south for low flows and I hear they will also be closing some down on the island for low flows as well.

I hope they close my local river until we get some rain. I've never seen it this low this time of year. Caught a few coho on one outing but won't be going back, it's just too low for this time of year.
