anyone been that way recently?how are the conditions?
was thinking of going monday. :)
-
hella low and clear
-
My friend went and caught a few on roe, I am going to try tomorrow with him if it is alright weather, I will report back when I can. :)
-
Herd it has been raining out there for a few hours
-
its pissin rain here since 5ish.... water will be dirty tomorrow maybe not even fishable
-
The rain started up in the Wack just after 8pm, Its steady but not heavy.
-
For those that wished for rain a few days ago they got their wish overnight. Along with that came the mud and the river is unfishable in the Lower at the time of this post.
-
river had 3' of visibility when I got there this morning, and by 8am it had risen 6"-8" with about 12" of vis. Very few fish rolling but did see their wakes as they moved on through some of the shallower sections.
-
Definately a big change from yesterday morning. Crystal clear to mud. Was still fishable at first light this morning but got worse quickly. Made for crappy fishing today but should bring some more fish into the river which will be good. Hopefully it comes up a bit more too.
-
Water cleared up some but some more rain up in the Chilliwack River Valley tonight. Of course conditions are fine above the slides. I am betting conditions will be OK in the Lower tomorrow too, thats if the rain holds off.
-
Good to hear,this will give the fish a bit of a rest from the gong show!
-
Slipped out this morning and found the water perfect but I had too many steelhead smolts stealing my bait to get a good drift in, landed one clipped one about 12 inches long. Found some nice water for later in the month.
Went up to the hatchery after and there was some nice coho in there. ;D ;D
-
I had the same problem with bait being stolen a few days ago....saw 1 dead pink and a lil bullhead resting by my feet in 2 ft of water.All managed to catch was a stick lol
-
Is the canal fishable?
-
My friend got a few springs in the canal short floating with roe.
-
What would everyone be targeting in the vedder right now? Pinks, coho, springs, jack springs??

You just answered your own question. what ever salmon is running up the fraser right now, some of them will be heading to the vedder as well.

Speaking of running up the Fraser and heading to the Vedder, let's all hope that the same vigor and effort shown by three of Chilliwack's finest in handing out speeding tickets on the road into Yarrow Sunday, will be applied to apprehending the lowlife dregs and crackheads who break into our vehicles every Fall.

I was there on Sunday, the river was gin clear, many were fishing on the river, no one was catching from what I heard.
The mouth of the river is very active apparently; but you need a boad to get there.
By the way: for those who haven't been to the Vedder lately, the dyke access has been restricted in many spots that used to be open!
They close the gates to these access points due to some teenagers partying, making noise, trashing, being annoying etc. So now the fisher men have to pay for it :(
Why cannt people teach their teens to play and party respectfully and politely to others and to the nature??? Why Why why???
-
I agree fishforever. Unfortunately, some of the worst violators I have seen are people fishing. Leaving piles of fishing line, beer cans, wrappers, bait jars, etc is too common.

Had a coho on up tamihi tonight didnt expect it though thought,it must be a spring but then it put on a accrobat show then tossed the hook back at me my hearts still pumpin
-
heard of a few bonked out of Tamahi already, congrats
-
They should close both sides just as much crap going on as the other side
-
I haven't been to the vedder in last two years so I wasn't sure when they locked it down.
I heard from a local that the reason was due to the parties and trash by teens.
However, I agree that the same mess is also left by fishermen who are not very considerate of the others and the privilege given to them to fish on such nice body of water.
I know there are many good teens on the water who do respect the sport...wasn't attacking anyone by any means. ;D
-
Can anyone provide an update on the water conditions today? I'm thinking about heading up tomorrow. Chris have you been out on the river today?

Hopefully, this is just temporary. I know that in my town, the first week of school is kind of wild at nights with kids partying. It keeps the cops hopping and parents on edge. But then it stops and goes back to normal.
-
I've never seen sturgeon on the Ved until today.. wow! global warming?
-
I was there an hr ago. the canal looks very fishable, pinks surfacing, alot of "out of towners " though. Saw a few hook ups. The lower vedder looks allright too. low water though, i haven't seen a few of thoes banks in quite a few yrs. or maybe there new. (thurs 10 , 11:30am)
