Usually around this time someone is asking for rain. ; :o ;D
-
the water seems to be so low from what I've seen I would not think that any fish have moved past the highway bridge.
-
is it worth trying to back troll the mouth? or to early?
I'm new to back trolling but might give it a shot this week.

Hey Canso if you go please post as that is something I am wanting to do as well. I went out once in July for reds but was unsuccesful however two veterans in another boat hooked up. Thanks, Paul.

I remember a buddy stating the water was way too low a couple years ago. Agreed, the water was very low. Well I brought him to the top end of the upper river and we were into close to 25 chrome spring jacks and 3 coho in a morning and not another person around. I have had several days like this in very late August and the first couple days of September. This was my favorite time of year on the Vedder.

Glx i think you are exaggerating a little, the ho's don't show until October! Someone told me the same thing years ago i went up their and nothing but a few booty springs. I heard the Bulkley and Telkwa are having a bumper crop of steelies, it just carpeted with them! Might take a drive up their and try that in early September.

Ya no coho until october dont fish there unless you want stinky white springs.

Just out of curiosity, but how do you know this? Did they say it in the paper or something?
-

took a look at the hydrograph and compared to years past ;)

I like the stinky white springs, around 15lbs or so...perfect.

Methinks you should heed the words of glx and this "someone". I've had multiple coho days as early as Sept 10...

all depends on the fish. and when they decide
-
August 15th 2000 six coho . there a couple kicking round now but first light is your only shot. Water way to low
-
Now would that be served up with cheese n crackers and glass of wine finished off with a cigar?
Oh ya, that sounds real good! BP.

Maybe you should listen to some of what the experienced anglers say and put in a little more time instead of assuming a lie right away....
I've seen coho around beginning of August and I know that some have been caught already.
Earliest I've caught pinks was August 2nd, hooked 4 landed 2.
We've gotten big whites and tonnes of jacks consistantly the 2nd week of August till the 1st week of September the last 2-3 years that I've been fishing.
Lots of fish move at night so it doesn't matter how low the water is, good luck in getting them to bite after 8 am though.
From what I've seen in my last 5 years of pretty much living on the Vedder it's the lowest it's ever been and the hydro graph shows the same.
