Probably more chance of the fish showing up than the Leafs winning a cup in the next 10 years :D
See you soon Chris. I will be at the next cleanup :)

its still good for tiny trout in the lower, and some bigger trout in the upper. When I was fishing for reds two weeks ago, I came across a 4lb rainbow, and the next day a 5lb bulll trout.
-
Yup, there is some decent trout fishing right now and some good sized dollies.
-
??? did i hear that reds are done ????
-
So the reds are over... When do the other species start showing up in numbers? Do they trickle in until mid September?
-
Coho salmon usually enter the river as early as late August. Fishing for coho salmon in September is usually tough, due to the number of fish and lower, drier river condition.
This year, if pink salmon arrive on schedule, you will also see them in the Chilliwack River by early to mid September.
-
If you know where to look, you will find excellent numbers of chrome bright spring jacks in very late august and early september. In amongst these fish are some Coho as well. These fish are roe pigs. If I still lived down that way, Id be fishing for them. But since I don't, Ill settle for Kitimat Coho and summer run steelhead in the Skeena tribs for the next couple months.

How about 1st weekend in October? We've been going in mid october because we've always been told that that's the peak of springs, chum and coho. However, the last 3 times we've been up there, we were told we were too late. Any thoughts?
-
From what I have experienced, I find that the last week of September and first week of October best for coho and chinook salmon fishing on the Chilliwack River, before the first rainfall arrives. Once rain arrives, depending on the amount, the fishing can be very good for a period of time before all the fish move through the system due to the water level rise.
-
Rodneys right on. Iv had jack coho and springs chase my spoons as early as mid august, but they would never commit. Also posted a report last year of a 18lb white caught last year at lickman, this was 2nd week august. I find peak fishing depends on the amount of rainfall as we get closer to october. I dont know alot about the coho, but I have always found chinook in ok good shape all the way till the first week of november.
-
Another small run of Red Spring come through in mid October.
I find Coho fishing on the fly best the week before the big dump of leaves on the water which makes it an incredible pain to flyfish.
Good Coho fishing on Krocs up to the time change then the action seems to slow off the spoons real quick.
End of August, depending on the water is the start for coho and jacks on the fly like others have stated.

If you don't mind me asking what part of the upper Chilliwack did you catch these trout? I'm looking for a good spot for trout on the Chilliwack/Vedder.

You can catch them any where as they are all threw out the river, just do a little walking and searching, it'll be good as salmon season is coming soon so you can learn the river. ;)

cool thx
-
low water... really low water....
-
low water conditions favour the flychuckers.
-
I was out today wish would have brought the fly rod will tomorrow.
-
What will you be planning to catch on your fly rod?
-
Still a little early for the big push of whities I think...
-
will be fly fishing for trout and coho.
-
Any reports of coho?
-
Dereke the big push of whites came all through september last year. if this year follows the same path then there should be fish coming in already in fair to decent numbers. best way to get these early chromers is with GOOD roe ;D
-
the water is dirt low...so few fish it is honestly not worth even trying.
-
I wouldn't even bother trying right now. Still too early. From my experience, I found that it peaks at around Thanksgiving weekend, or maybe even a week earlier. But it really depends on the rain, when the big dumps come.
Have a great day
-
I heard they are catching some cohos in the chilliwack river now. I'm not sure what part of it though.
Is the long weekend a good time to go to Vedder/chilliwack to camp by the river and try some fishing? ???
Thx
-
It is early to find coho, but there is always a few, they travel very fast with the low water condition. pink & spring jack should be there any day. Long week end will be perfect day to do some scouting, if you don't have any friends live out in the valley.
-
A few of my friends tell me people are catching springs on the Chilliwack, has anyone caught any lately? Is it worth it to go?
-
pretty slow, a few fish in just a few places, soooooo low and clear that your chance at a biting fish is very limited. Give it a another week or so with some rain and should be money
-
Your probably right, I might go try 3 weekends from now, got a tip to the Columbia River next week :D :)
