You should be able to catch a log or two. ;D ;D ;D
-
I just hate those big logs - they spool ya pretty easy.
I hope I can get some bouncing in for Springs before the Sockeye start coming in.

fishforever - I think it's too early to start trolling but you never know there could be a few at the mouth of the Vedder. I'm going to do more of that this year as well.
-
Don't forget the old faithful Tee Spoon for trolling.
-
Try throwin some kohos at the mouth of emory. Always room and the springs stack in there every year in mid may so there might be some now.
-
That's right. That crik is usually clean enough to draw Springs close in. I tried to bar fish there once - it was too expensive for me to fish there.
I'm going to go out for a few hours in the morning - check out as few spots and try out my new Technium rod.

I have the 10' one and love it so far... which one do you have? MInd you I also have the Sturgeon technium, I am very inpressed by them so far. Looking forward to getting to the 10' out on the Vedder for Springs. The reds that is.... ;D

I picked up the 11'er for early bouncing. I broke too many rods last year including a Trophy XL and the Red Shimano Clearwater, 2 Convergence and a Diawa Heartland. Just being a bit too agressive and careless on and around the boats. ::)
-
Yeah Emory creek is a very good spot for early Chinook Salmon. It is too rocky on the bottom to bar fish, but i find if you attach a koho spoon(the medium size) and put on a dink or DNA float(whatever you would like) and cast it out into the Fraser where Emory's clear water comes in you will be successful. Especially in the high water the Fraser water will have undertow that will spin the spoon around like a hurt herring, smelt or any type of fish that will remind the salmon of its early life in the ocean. It is a great spot especially on a warm day! I suggest to try it out at least once this early spring summer!
Tight Lines to My Fellow Fishermen ;)

Interesting - I'll give it a try sometime. I love that direct hook-up without any extra weight. I've nailed a few Springs rattling large spoons off the bottom at Peg Leg and at Laidlaw in years past but I think that's virtually the same as bottom bouncing.
-
I'LL BE OUT TOMMOROW CREEK MOUTH FISHING IN FULL FORCE DRIFTING WITH BIG GOBS OF GEW !
-
Be sure to tell us how you did! :)
-
Yeah good luck it looks like a nice day to try em out! ;)
-
Be sure to tell us how you did!
^ IM SURE I'LL GET A KILLER BUZZ ;)

I went out to Peg Leg this morning and the water is right up to the road. Only a very little spot of island is showing. Not surprisingly some donkey descided to dump a load of garbage on the road blocking the road that goes up river below the field.
I took a few pictures but can't post. I really need to get a subscription.
I was going to go up to Laidlaw but then fiqured the heck with it. Why burn the fuel and probably end up with a broken side window. Not worth it. Expecially since my wife told me that we still have enough canned Red Spring and not to bring any home for awhile yet.
I did manage to fuel up at $1.10 per litre at the Chilliwack Petro Canada as the talk was $1.25+ towards Surrey.
Now I don't have to worry about the Fraser for 6-weeks or more so it's all fly fishing for me for awhile.
