Title: Chilliwack/Vedder River Pink Salmon Run 2015
Post by: Nicolas The Fisherman on August 07, 2015, 02:56:04 PM
According to Fred's Custom Tackle's fishing report, some pinks are starting to show up on the lower portion of the Vedder. I haven't seen any myself yet, but that is a pretty good sign for a good season ahead. I wonder who will land the first Vedder pink of the season? Feel free to post your wisdom or fish pics on this thread. ;) Anyways good luck all!(http://rs300.pbsrc.com/albums/nn5/bonhommebros/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2015-08-07-12-43-45_zpscvasemgz.png~320x480)

Really? On the Vedder? The earliest pink I've ever caught was between 20th-25th of August.

So when do pinks normally show in good numbers at the Vedder?  I rarely go there before Mid September because there's tons of Fraser Pinks close to Vancouver.

Yes on the lower vedder.
They usually enter in decent numbers by late August/early September.

They have to go through Vancouver/Richmond before they get to the Veddar...

It's a bit early, but I have no doubt that some fish are pushing in. I usually start finding pinks in fishable numbers by late August. Sometimes I get lucky and catch the odd spring jack at that time as well. Time to stock up on pink jigs, spinners etc. before they're sold out! ;D

No pinks in test nets so very few pinks coming up Fraser yet....2-3 more weeks than the flood begins...there are pinks at the mouth schooling up already for over a week.

Stopped at the Vedder today to try some pink fishing. River has come up a bit after the rain we had last night which is good to see. No action for me though. Didn't even see a fish rise, but I guess that is to be expected when it's this early in the season. A couple or so more weeks until the fishing picks up. Until then, time to start rigging up my leader boards! (http://rs300.pbsrc.com/albums/nn5/bonhommebros/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpscifl5hsr.jpg~320x480)

I saw one pink taken on the lower last week (between crossing and peach) which was a huge surprise given the timing, I had to inspect closer to make sure I wasn't seeing things but low and behold it was def a pink and fairly chrome one at that

I wouldn't doubt that there is are schools moving in here and there but i think it's a bit of creative license of Fred's part to say that "they're here"

Tackle shop fishing reports can be very entertaining reading. In 2013, one of the local shop claimed up to 100 million pinks are migrating through the Fraser!

Without a doubt you have to take it with a grain of salt as their motivation to even post about a few being caught is without a doubt business driven
