Well, me and a good bud went out to the flow today for the last time for coho. Did not see a person out there for the entire time fishing which we fished for about 6 hours and it felt like the river was ours ;D. Morning started off well for my friend as he landed 5 wild coho which one was pushing 12lbs easy. My coho bite turned on for me as I switched to flouro after battling chum after chum. Second cast after retieing, float rockets down and flashes of silver, a nice change after seeing yellow chums. I get a solid hook set battled it for a few minutes and get it to shore. My buddy noticed that it had a very small adipose so before beaching it I got in the water and ran my finger on the fin. Misclip. Dragged it to shore. gorgeous 7lb hatchery doe, chrome as can be ;D. No more hatchery coho to the beach. Battled 4 more wild coho, one was a chrome bar about 6 lbs and one was a big buck about 12lbs, tomato red. I hooked many more and lost them. I hooked something today and battled it for about 15 seconds, it was about 5 lbs and much much more chrome then any coho I have seen this year, and it popped me off faster than I can say " steelhead". But you guys wont beleive me any ways :o ;).
Great day out there and think ill go check out some rivers north of the fraser until steel.
Good luck out there!

sounds like a good day indeed! congrats on your catch! wish my fishing was going that well but my last trip to the vedder only resulted in 2 coho and a few chums, saw 1 guy get a 8-9lb chromer that he insisted was a steelhead but i helped him land it and was a very chrome wild coho, still a wee bit early for steel i think...

My earliest Steel on the Vedder was the first week of November (about 15 years ago)...they are there....but if you get one it is a huge suprise....as the numbers would be very small.

For some anglers steelhead fishing is year round...

My earliest steelhead was dec 4th of last year. never quit fishing for them through nov and i dialed into a nice holding hole.
Tis the season for checking out all the ol' steelhead spots.

...hmmmmm... I'd say it slows a bit for a month or two, but it is still very possible to get into fish.
