atta boy cody!

12 days to go and counting. High water in the canal means no snaggers and lots of water for the fish to push through with. This is good!

Hook.....
Normally you can tell if the fish is a red or not quite easily in the vedder.
Reds have more of a bronzish chrome colour while whites are just pure silver or start going a blackish colour.

If I really have a hard time I go in as close to the mouth as I can (farthest away from the gills).
Just lift up a little and you should see red along the inside if it is a red.

ya i wasnt referring to the Vedder because they dont overlap very well or at all in there, I was mainly stating rivers like the Fraser where Reds&Whites are travelling together quite frequently. I know how to tell the difference i just dont want to be the one explaining how to "check in the gill area" and having someone killing a fish by mistake by mishandling. I can show people in person which is best because you can show the proper way to check without touching the gills at all.
