Vedder River cleanup and some steelheading on April 17th, 2010
« on: April 14, 2010, 01:13:36 AM »
This Saturday, April 17th, is the first Vedder River cleanup of the year! We'll be meeting at the Great Blue heron Nature Reserve between 8:30am and 9:30am. Volunteers will then be sent to many locations, from the canal up to the hatchery to pick up litters from river banks, trails etc. Please bring appropriate footwear and clothings (it looks like a warm day on Saturday!). Garbage bags will be provided. Some gloves and pick-up tools will be available as well, but you are welcome to bring your own. Tim Horton's donuts, coffee and juice will be available once again at registration!

The Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve is at the southern end of Sumas Prairie Road (turn off from Keith Wilson Road).

It looks like steelhead fishing is pretty good right now based on recent numbers of catches being reported, so be sure to come out, help the river by participating in this event and do a bit of fishing afterward!

Very good, I remember that you indeed got one last year on cleanup day. I believe it is good karma as anyone that comes to the cleanup and then goes fishing should hook a steelhead. ;D ;D

Thanks Rodney for posting the information, lets hope we have a good turnout once again from this forum.

I would help out if somebody provided free transport all the way from Coquitlam.

Otherwise, I just do my part by not littering.  Wish everybody else would just respect the environment that they fish in and do the same.

I will be there with a couple of friends by 9:00 AM.
Any later than that, and the best fritters and doughnuts are gone! :D

I'll be in waders, so Chris and Lou can assign a tough task to my team.  ;D

If you really want to go, it can be arranged. Can you be at the Coquitlam IKEA parking lot at 8:00 AM?
Make sure to bring your rod and waders and plan for a long day because I will be fishing after the cleanup!

Nope, I am planning to fish until at least 7PM, so back in town around 8:30-ish.

Don't care for hockey really.

This gives me an idea.

How about a pub gathering in Chilliwack from 7-10 pm?

Sorry, but I don't do pubs if I am driving. No fun in going to a pub without enjoying a few drinks...;)

How about fishing to your heart's content till 9, then showing up in the last hour for dinner and and to catch the last period of play?

Is anybody else up for the idea?

Can't you just record the game and watch it when you get back home?
Or just come fishing with me and I'll get you back home in time for the last period.

Sorry, Nutterbug, I really don't care much for the pub atmosphere...
