Title: March 20, Vedder Report
Post by: chris gadsden on March 20, 2008, 01:16:33 PM
The river was in perfect shape this morning with a bit of color making it more so.

The river was mostly devoid of anglers this morning as well as the fish as I did not find any in the 4 hours of searching. The only fish I heard was one angler who told me he landed two wilds further up river. Very few anglers in the Vedder Canal area when I drove by around noon, I guess the fish have now moved up river.

The stolen car at KWB that I reported to the RCMP on Tuesday was still there but now it had been burnt. The officier that came to investigate it on Tuesday told me it is up to ICBC to arrange the tow but for some reason they did not, now it is toast.

An enjoyable outing just the same and I saw a pileated woodpecker which I have not seen all the often along the Vedder.

Another bonus was while cleaning up some garbage in a parking lot that included some Tim Horton's cups I found one of the cups had a free donut on the roll up the rim game. ;D

I did not come home with a hatchery fish but I guess I am now boasting about the free donut I caught. ;D ;D

Sorry I could not resist that one. ;D ;D ;D

Is there a seasonal limit on how many donuts or coffees you can take Chris? ;D ;D ;D

And did you remember to record it in ink on the back of your license?!?

No wonder no fish cause they smell the gas from that wreck leaking into the river.  ;D

Seriouly, did that car ditch into the canal or in area outside of the Vedder flow plain?

  I got a dark wild buck midriver about ten this morning not much of a story and the fish sure wasn't that photogenic, not many fishermen out except at Wilson Road where there were about 8 vehicles this morning. Maybe someone spread the word down at the KWB that the fish had moved up.
  I guess if your dumb enough to litter with  your coffee cup away you definitely aren't bright enough to roll up the rim. I hope you win a car with one of those discarded cups Chris that would be karma for someone that picks up after other people because they care.

From what I was told it was first parked on the road under the KWB, then pushed to the side of the road with windows smashed the next day. Then it is as you see in the photo what happened the next night. I donot think there was much environmental damage, that I could see anyway.

I was a little upset that it was not removed earlier as I went to the trouble of taking the RCMP to the site 2 days earlier.

Very observant. Could be as I saw an empty shell box laying on the ground.

Cohoman, I found your cup. ;)

Or you can be dumber than that like me, throwing away two cups into a bin only to realize they had not been rolled. :P There goes two cars... Three free coffees for me so far. ;D

Was there and saw the old T-bird on Monday blocking the road under the KWB.A cop came by checked it out but then set up a speed trap on the bridge.I thought the optics were bad,in light of all the bad press the rcmp has got this year.A shame,that old car could have been useful to someone.I guess the question now is ,is it going to get dealt with now that it was torched?Oh yea I  caught nada but Keith H caught a nine pound wild.

Maybe Lew can send twenty big guys down there and haul it back to your house at the river cleanup on Saturday April 5th (http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=17318.0). ;D

Rod- you are so.....funny.

Was out today and hooked into a fish late morning but it got off after a few minutes of battle.

Beautiful water condition but not much happening.

Managed to connect with vedder steel myself today.I seen one lost early am up by the allison then fished my way back down river past the other wilson gong show talked to an older chap about how slow things were today then after he and the two others on other side left the zone I cast out to deeper green water and felt a tug and set hook on a clean hatch doe,she really didn't want to come in but after a few spirted runs I convinced her that she was destined for the smoker.  Weighed her in at freds at 7.7lbs

I went to ICBC and talked about this situation to a fellow I know and he will look into this as there seems to be some misunderstanding between the RCMP and ICBC on what I mentioned above.

"as there seems to be some misunderstanding between the RCMP and ICBC "

They're waiting for the owner to file a claim. ;D
