If my link doesn't work, type Vedder River September 2017 and it's there for all too see.

Lol, the real question is did it bite? ;D
I think we've seen enough on our trip yesterday to answer that question... :P ;)

Haha, yup. Wonder if the people in the video heard any weird animal noises that day?
I know right? I was looking forward to someone's report on that but it looks like no one else here heard anything. ;D ;D

Post by: pbish on September 18, 2017, 02:44:37 PM: Seemed to be fairly tough to remove that hook. Barbed? I would say Yes.

Gotta love these armchair detectives. ::)

It's not necessarily a barbed hook.
When the hook enters the jawbone at a certain angle following a strong hookset, it can be tricky to remove the hook even if it is barbless, especially if only fingers are used and not a forceps or pliers.

Unless you were there and saw with your own eyes the barbed hook, all you say is pure speculation.

It sounds to me that you guys are jealous that a guy with no waders and boots landed a beauty of a hatchery coho. ;D

Post by: Noahs Arc on September 18, 2017, 03:46:00 PM: 100% barbed treble hook. I'm pretty sure I saw drugs in his pocket too.

To say his hook must be barbed because he's having trouble, well I would say you need to catch more fish.

Anyone????????
Title: Re: Is this guy keeping a vedder pink ?
Post by: bobby b on September 18, 2017, 05:30:37 PM: There is currently no Pink retention...... not likely to change
Title: Re: Is this guy keeping a vedder pink ?
Post by: bobby b on September 18, 2017, 05:36:18 PM: It is most definitely either a jack Spring or a coho.... if it was a pink... everyone around him would be yelling at him!

Squamish is the only place for Pink retention this year. Although most of them are carcasses and zombies by now. You could target coho there though.
