So today went out early to catch me a coho. Water level seems to be up just a tad bit. But colder. Chum and springs are moving through the system at a relative fast pace. Got into a 30+lb spring early in the morning I figured it's still early I don't want to carry the fish around so back he goes. (By the way, I was regrating it madly later on the day, I didn't get into another chromer spring).
Anyways towards late afternoon I finally got into a huge wild coho. But he's so photo shy he decided to take off. Oh well. Just as we're going to call it a day... here's the nice coho that wants to come home with us...

Nice fish you bastard!! ;D Not sure what I am doing yet friday and the weekend, I guess we'll see how this rain pans out. ;)
-
We'll see how accurate the weathernetwork is this time. Tommorrow should rain hard. ;)
-
See folks, this is what BwiBwi does. He posts a contraversial topic on the forum, gets people arguing over a headless fish. Meanwhile he's out catching more coho while none of us are. ::)
Nice fish. ;)
-
;D ;)
-
Nice fish , havent seen a coho posted for a while
-
Damn...that's a nice fish!!! Forgot what they looked like..
-

you're better at fishing the flow, than trolling online. ::)
-

-

Went out today for first light in the upper end and only got into 4 springs so at 9:30 we decided to hit mid river. I decided that this would be a good spot to bust out the fly. First cast in I could see the coho chasing my fly almost to shore so I just kept trying and finally I got one to hit. It was a nice little 2lbs jack. I also got one around 14lbs wild buck. After noon we decided to hit the lower river and with the wind I decided to go back to the drift gear and I got into a couple nice springs and a few chum. Didn't land any of them as they where a little too much for my 2106 but it was sure nice to play them. So all and all it was a pretty good day on the river. Although the jack was a little small it still was my first coho on the fly ;D ;D .

fished tuesday and not a whole lot to report other than the usual chums and springs. Headed up for the last couple hours of daylight yesterday, good to see the water level inching up a bit. Landed and released a nice chromish 20 plus lbs spring and several nice chums all on roe. decided to head down river to a set of runs a little ways above the crossing, again fishing roe. Had a few nice float downs but kept missing the strike. i switched to hammered silve #4 colorado, and first drift thru the blade is hammered by a beauty 10 or so lbs doe hatchery coho..... smack ! .... It's getting on towards sunset as i begin casting again..... nothin for 10 or so casts so i switch back to a small piece of roe with a shred of white wool, again on the first drift through the run, float down, hook set, fish goes arial, jumping and twisting and shiny bright.... another nice 8 - 10 lbs coho, a second hatchery doe comes to hand and into my fish bag. That did it for me.... off for home with somethin to feed my smoker and some choice berries to cure up... Will be back at it next week.... come on rain ;)
-
Snap any photos :)
-
Nice coho BwiBwi. You guys sure are doing good hooking these coho. Havent got one all season so far. But this saturday is another day ;)
-
umm no..... no pics.... i generally fish on my own these days... i'm liking the solitude. rest assured though, come steelhead season, the camera will be hard at it. I really don't bother taking pics during salmon season on the river.

Right on bro...if you think that is cool! It is your forum after all!
-
No, I don't necessarily think it's cool (thought the eye rolling smilie at the end tells that). Obviously he didn't do it on purpose, but I end up sitting here more than I am fishing lately. :P ;D

Classy reply and point taken! In all seriousness I think you run a great forum here and I also think the sniping that plagues other boars is under control here!
I also really like the stewardship aspect that is present on this board, I got an e-mail from my DFO community adviser about a stewardship related section of this site that is on the way....good for you and keep up the good work!
I also like the spell check feature (even an idiot like me can look smart with that bad boy)
Keep up the good work!
Pat

Whiners. It's a good photo of a beautiful chum. But unfortunately for some, they like to lecture before paying more attention to their fish identifying skill. :P ;D
-
looks like the classy replies end with Rod hey BwiBwi? The post in question was garbadge and you should be ashamed for putting it up! As for my fish ID skills, I will promise you they are equal to yours. That is cool that you caught a chum with red meat but you will have to fish a long time to see another with meat like that! No head no tail and discolored from laying in a cooler? I ID my fish before they are in a sink!
If you go trolling like that expect to catch some flack so don't wine about it when you do!
And for the pic being "beautiful" I stopped taking pictures of meat laying in the sink when I was a kid, nothing beautiful about it!

so the next time i leave the river with a headless, tail-less fish and a dfo officer happens to catch me i can refer him to you.
i myself suspected your fish was a chrome chum (faint yellow bars), but kind of hard to say when you're looking at it from one dimension on a screen, not the greatest photo to boot. no head, no tail. ya i guess i'm one of those whiners. :P ::) :P
-
Woo, tachie. Oh well what can I expect? Some people love to judge by meat colour. However, it's never a identifying point in any salmon identification method.
-
Actually head and tail is already in the cooker making miso soup :P When I realized I haven't taken a photo of the first chrome chum I've ever taken out of Vedder.

Glad you enjoy the forum Pat AV. There isn't really one "best" forum, each has its own kind of crowd that accommodates the readers. The stewardship related section is here:
http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/index.php#8
I hope some will be able to make good use of it. Getting more fishermen involved in community stewardship programs was one of the objectives when this website was established.
Folks, I say the mystery fish has already been IDed, some learned something, I learned BwiBwi loves to flyfish, spoon fish, bait fish but also trolling (I still think it was not his intention to create such a fuss originally :) ). ;D It is time to move onto other topics and focus on this weekend's fishing plans. ;)
-
"Woo, tachie. Oh well what can I expect? Some hotties just love to be a monkey on the back."
I am not generally a sniper on these boards but this one just rubbed me wrong!
I would challenge you to a fish ID challenge but that would make me look even sillier right? (plus I am not sure if such a thing is possible)
That is a nice chum I have only landed one like that in the vedder in many years, and have never seen meat that red on any chum (could just be how the photo looks).
Sorry if I offended you, but I am sure you were trolling for responses like mine anyway so you should thank me instead of calling me a monkey on your back!
Nice doggy regardless!
Edit: Rod yes I am done with this topic but I will reply to other points you have mentioned in this edit
Stewardship is one of the great things about sport fishing it is a natural progression that once you learn to love fish you will want to help them out, I have been highly involved in stewardship since I was in junior high many years ago the love of fishing lead me along this path.
weekend plans include a closing day trip to a little river near Hope to try to find some summers and maybe a trip to the T or brood stock fishing on the rivers of north van should be a good one I love the sound of the rain right now!
Good luck to all this weekend!

listen guys it's obviously in his sink at home and ready for the freezer or the oven so don't assume it was taken home like this
we know he didn't take it home like that. its called sarcasm. the guy starts a thread, leaves it for a couple of days then when people weren't getting the answers to their questions things got a little heated. he comes back calls us whiners and refers to us as unknowledgable.
rod says it was unintentional, maybe so, but butthead's response was clearly intentional.
:P L0SER :P
-
Yarn, like most of your post blaydRnr.
-
ya buddy, must be nice to ride the coat tail of your compadre. must think you have alot of pull because the site belongs to him.
funny how you've never responded to any of my post until now.
ps, my post are yarn, just like the one where i stood up for you....nice
-
Ayup, it doesn't seem like people can put it behind them, take it to the Vedder bank this weekend please. ;) It's 11:30pm, tired, don't really want to edit your posts, so a lock is going on now.
