Title: Trolling Springs in the Vedder Canal.
Post by: Rieber on June 23, 2007, 07:40:00 PM: So with the Vedder at the top of it's banks in the Canal - who has thought about trolling the canal besides me?

With the water nice and high, I'll bet the jets will be all over that river come July 1. The Vedder is definitely not a safe river to walk into right now. One wrong step and you'll never even feel bottom.

Probably be decent to anchor in the canal and back bounce big balls of roe. Probably good to run a boat up behind the Heron post along the bend.

I'll probably give it a try up there. Heck maybe go up with two trucks and an aluminum boat and drift the river down picking off all the nice holes that won't be accessable to the walk ins. Pretty easy to drop a boat in just above the Crossing.

Down river from the highway. People do it there all the time.
