With the Vedder not to my liking I decided to make a quick trip to the North side of the Fraser. I was hoping conditions would be OK after the recent heavy rain and snow melt I arrived a bit after 2 and decided to have a nap before heading to the spot I would fish. After about an hour of rest I had to tie up as I broke off on my last trip finding a snag at the Blue Cup run that claimed all my tackle and Maple Leaf Clear drift.
Finding 90 floats earlier in the day I had plenty to choose from so I tied up another Clear Drift, never had used them before and they are fine and of course my costs are cheap too.;D
I started at the first run but was a bit high but did lose a small fish, most likely a coho jack. With no adult coho hatchery fish taken this year I was wondering if I would be without one this season
I moved to another run and found the conditions perfect. It was quite bright out so as in the past once the sun sets it gives you a better chance. Before the sun slipped behind the mountains I did connect with a fresh chum and a wild coho jack. This gave me some hope.
Soon after the sun's rays disappeared from the surface my float dips near the end of the drift and a fish is on. By the way it was acting I thought it was another chum but as it gets closer I see it is a coho, very silver too. The next question is it a keeper? As I draw it near in the clear water I see no fin so my pulse quickens some and I am able to slip a 6 pound hen to the shore, finally success.
This seems to change my luck as just before I am ready to head back to the Leaf Mobile I am into another that is a doe too, a 8 pound fish as I double my 2010 total.
As I trudge back through the bush as complete darkness closes in I have a skip in my steps and the rustle of the fallen leaves under my footsteps now seem to have a nice sound as well, maybe it is the brace of two nice coho salmon now in my hands.
