Title: Vedder thursday 3-15
Post by: Xgolfman on March 15, 2007, 04:50:54 PM: I think C.G. might be right...unless something major happens, I think we might be seeing the end of steelhead season on the Vedder... I was out today and in a word, it SUCKED... river has changed again in spots, gravel pit by Woody's the flow is back on the inside...Yarrow side campground, you couldn't even get out to some of the spots that were fishable. Some nice spots that I've been fishing are completely blown out now and where there used to be slots are torrents...Water was still super cloudy, maybe 3-4" in spots....Prison run, no island to stand on anymore with water this high and a major waterfall coming down in the middle of the it from the mountains...
I figure I pretty much spent all my day hiking into spots and finding them all unfishable, cement slab was still really high and muddy....water just ripping through there...
I fished a couple spots and the only reason I did was so I could enjoy a cigar...I finally called it quits when I couldn't even hike into a spot on the lower because the river washed out the bank and trail....
Not good guys...If your planning on it being better on the weekend...well, good luck... :'(

If I recall, the only place around to get summer coho is the Cap. It's a river. And that being said, isn't it one of the 2 rivers in B.C, which has a summer run of coho?

Post by: shmertis on March 23, 2007, 06:03:13 PM: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST THE PICTURE.

You said you have one, I for one would love to see a 52 pound steelhead.

Actually I'm pretty sure you would too. ;D

Post by: DionJL on March 23, 2007, 06:09:47 PM: Wow. Some people have no common sense. Obviously Birdman is joking or mocking someone, yet on come the tight asses chanting "PICTURE PICTURE!!!!".

LOL Classic.
Title: Re: Vedder thursday 3-15
Post by: shmertis on March 23, 2007, 06:15:40 PM: I was basing my queiries more on his sig line below his avatar. That is quite the feat that all of his fish for the year are over 20 lbs and he only lost 4.

Me not being a steelhead pro I am not certain, but I am sure there are many people on this board/forum that have been steelhead fishing for 2x longer than birdman has been alive that would find that to be a feat of feats.

If I am wrong then I am sorry birdman, but I highly doubt that.

Title: Re: Vedder thursday 3-15
Post by: shmertis on March 23, 2007, 06:56:48 PM: Okay Okay that was funny.

I still find it hard to believe you in saying that this year you had 42 fish on with 38 landed all over 20 lbs.

Post by: shmertis on March 23, 2007, 08:39:59 PM: I guess I did. I in looking through posts notice guys with their stats and such and assumed(my bad) that the norm here was to post under your avatar how you have done this year. I guess I just didn't see that yours was a false report(again my bad). ::)
