Title: How often do you visit the Vedder hatchery?
Post by: Nucks on September 08, 2009, 12:58:46 PM: Just curious how often people visit the hatchery? Every trip, every couple trips, once a season, never?

Myself, I stop by at least once a year now that I no longer live in the area. When I bring a newbie, I make sure to always take them their.

Post by: jeff on September 08, 2009, 05:50:05 PM: I would say during the fall I am there every second trip, I don't know what it is I love just standing there and watching the fish. My wife thinks it is weird I brought her once and she couldn't understand how I could just stand there and stare at fish as she put it.

Ya, thats pretty much the reason I asked because I'm virtually the same.

Post by: mr.p on September 09, 2009, 12:44:23 AM: I will go an average of every second trip.
I like to go and see if certain species are in the system yet.
Very interesting watching the fish in there.

In case he's NOT kidding....

Just keep heading up the road along the river until you see it. It's a nice drive.

Post by: flyfish on September 10, 2009, 09:52:22 AM: I try to go there 3 or 4 times a year. If i having a slow day or no fish showing i will grab some lunch and check the hatchery for a hour then get back to fishing.

Post by: avb on September 10, 2009, 11:48:11 AM: When the runs are in, I start my day low down in the river and move up throughout the day. I allways end around 3 or 4pm with a stop in to the hatchery. I loved watching the egg takes and the guys are allways friendly to chat to.

Drive past about 100 meters and you'll find another parking lot hidden in the trees on the left hand side ;D

Better to ask than just go do it. Good on you for that but no I don't know of a hatchery that allows you to fish "at it". ;)
