Hi Everyone,

Thinking about heading out to the Veddar tomorrow but haven't seen any postings on it lately.  Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Lots of chums moving throughout the river. Expect a gong show on the weekend

if you want to walk a little bit you can get away fromt the show, I fished last sunday and saturday and both days were very productive with no more than two or three people at each run.

Gonna revive this thread....

Was out today, lots and lots of chum around, most were on the pretty ugly looking side. We also talked to a servey person in the parking lot and both her and all the other servey people had not recorded any coho or springs yet today, that was at 11 am. 

It was like a monsoon today in Chilliwack. I have never quit fishing before because of the wather but today was an exception  . Was steady raining and very hard, the pics I took were at a relatively calm period, after the the rain picked up and raindrops were bouncing 2 inches off the water... As we left the river was already coming up and visibility was down from crystal clear yesterday to around 2-3 feet and was getting worse, might be blown tomorrow.. :'(

Hey there, I was just wondering if it would be worth going to the river tomorrow, or if it would just be too murky and deep.  If anyone was out there today and seen what the water was like with all the rain it would be super helpful.
Thanks, Dave

With the amount of rain expected, it is going to take more than a couple of days to clear up. Keep an eye on the hydrograph and hopefully a couple of local anglers like Everyday will be able to provide an update once every few days.

Came up around 2 feet and is brown.... if the rain tapers off in the next 2 days you MIGHT get a day of fishing in on Tuesday (assuming you have the day off). Currently it is rainign quite hard in Chilliwack right now and there are puddles (or should I say swamps) all over the roads, etc. Im assuming it will be coming up a little bit more over night.

There was a poweroutage from freds tackle to peach road today so went out fishing. The water is really high, and the clarity is decent, saw a bunch of ripe coho moving through, that was about it.

water is in mint condition, just a little to high. After these 60-90km winds we are getting tonight, I exspect some of that clay will find its way back into the river.

Conditions looked good today, can the Irons be far behind?
