Title: Chum on Vedder?
Post by: Ned on September 28, 2012, 08:08:33 PM: Anyone seen these? Some reports near the mouth say they've seen some - even with bars appearing. I, for one, haven't seen a single one yet the numbers reported at Albion indicate ridiculous numbers coming up ...

Post by: Ezio on September 29, 2012, 11:42:53 PM: There have definitely been coming in good numbers into the river recently, pretty fun to catch! While the springs and 'ho's aren't biting. Purple maribou jigs are killer if you're looking for some fun during some down time (coho like 'em too)

Post by: LP89CG on September 30, 2012, 12:02:06 AM: I hope I get to hook some tomorrow... at this point I'll be happy to hook anything.
