Title: Where Did They Go, Vedder On Jan.4
Post by: chris gadsden on January 04, 2006, 12:09:46 PM
Reached the river at first light and was the first one to the run of yesterday's action in great anticipation of once again seeing my float go down on the first cast. But a few dozen casts proved there was not a fish there or if there was it was not interested in biting. I moved on to explore some new water and found some good spots but also came up empty at all of them.

It was a pleasure to meet fisherforever at one of the spots and had a good visit with him before I moved on once again. Ran into Helmut and Mavis at the next run but he said he had nothing either. On the way down I saw a fellow strike a fish with the pole having a nice bend for a second or two but it proved to be a good sized trout or dolly.

The river once again was in good shape and lots of anglers snooping around on both sides of the river.

My only other reward other than enjoying a pleasant 4 hours on the river was picking up $1.50 worth of tins paying nearly for my morning's coffee at Tims. Off to badminton now to get some more exercise.

O yes I saw an angler packing a fish and I believe we may hear more about that later in the day. ;D ;D

Looked like a very nice steelhead, congratulations.

Good job Big Steel! I too may have found a little chrome today, water was perfect! :)
I guess we have to thank Gadsden for leaving us mere mortals a couple of fish!  ;)

Fisherforever was impressed with it when he had the honour of seeing it today. Of course he is a Leaf fan as well, I think this forum has more Toronto fans than any other team. I know you are lone supporter of your team and I think there is still a Canuck fan or two left but most have gone into hiding now. ;D ;D

Bedtime now as completed the steelhead derby article for the Chilliwack Progress and besides a steelhead awaits tomorrow if the wind we are getting lets up and not too much rain that is in the forcast

Tomorrows story on FWR could be, a double header on the Vedder, watch for it but maybe I am getting too sure of myself, a no no as we all anglers know.

So I woke up this morning (Danish morning, your late evening), and found gofish's photos filling up my email. I came here, I got more people rubbing chromes in my face. I went to FishBC, I saw Big Steel's chromer on top of the page. Then the lights went out... electricity outage... :P What a bunch of teasers. Have some mercy, the rivers are frozen here, stop catching fish and flashing them in my face! ;D

No takers on this as it puts too much pressure as Big Steel found out, causing him sleepless nights, suffering computer withdrawl hence having to post on other web sites. ;D ;D


We must remember fishing is supposed to be fun and relaxing not pressure driven for any reason.
Well I better get out there so I can post later of the fish I am going to catch ;D ;D although the rain we are and have been getting overnight may have the river unfishable by the time I get there. Will file a report on the shape it is in a couple of hours as I will look at it before I get ready to go out.

Actually Chris, I rather liked the pressure!!  Funny thing, it made me fish smart and do what I know!!  Instead of just going out and pounding the water. Really you should try this no posting thing!! ;D ;D ;D

Yes but with the river being out for a few days it could be a bit of a wait before we can go fishing again. :-\

I guess that you can have a reprieve until the river comes back into shape!! ;D ;D ;D
