Well a couple buddies and I headed down to the lower river today, and since know one else had a report, I'll reply to my own post, however sad that is!!!!!!
Got to the lower river around 1pm, after not a whole lot of success on the upper. Looked at a few places that produce fish, but not enough water yet. So went to the standby spot. As expected on the second cast hooked into about a 6lb doe (Pink) in really nice shape. The bite didn't slow the whole time that we were there. Searun took home his limit of 4, and gt took home one nice doe as well. We also let go a human!!!!! That is because I lost a fish earlier that day, The fish ( searun thinks it was a pink, I think it was a coho. Hit hard and I was using pink roe) spit the hit and drill me in the jaw with the hook. Set nice and deep as well. So I will thank seaarun for not laughing while he was taking the hook out of my face!!!!!! GT on the other hand!!!!
-
Well done Steel. :D
-
Ouch ! :'(
-
Looks like the fish had the last laugh today.
-
Yes, yes he did!!!! But at least I did get to exact a little revenge of my own later on pinks. But I didn't really feel that vindicated. At least the jaw didn't really hurt at all just the pride!!!! :P :P
-
Nice to know the humans arnt tight lipped right now, ill give them a shot next week.
-
I was there this morning with wintersteel. It was a nice day to be out and I took home a chrome spring jack. In the upper river after 10:00am we saw about a dozen coho in various pools but no takers. Scouted some great spots for later.
-
Nice to hear bug pumper, I pretty much saw the same thing yesterday. But the water is so low and clear right now, good luck getting anything other than pinks to hit after first light. We are supposed to get some rain this week, hopefully enough to help.
-
I was there sat. I seen 3 jack springs landed all on roe . I finally broke in my pin by landing a huge chum. I did see a few coho as well

Spent the morning trying to flyfish in the areas below KWB. Kept away from the crowded bars, and waded almost to Hwy 1. Nothing. But then, this was my first time using the fly for salmon. Went back to where I started, and everyone was hooking into a mix of pinks, chum and springs. So I bowed to the pressure, took out my gear equipment, and first cast into a nice fresh pink which I returned. Stayed another hour with nothing more. Others around me were catching. The schools were stacked, so if you get to where they are, you'll catch. Noticed some were snagged too, but they were being released. Generally a good, jovial crowd there.... but I still prefer singular fishing.

While fishing the Chilliwack/Vedder today two younger anglers ( 15 -16 ) approached the run I was fishing and I was pleasantly surprised while observing them that they had some knowledge on at least how to fish properly. They did hook two fish but where a little heavy handed and broke them both off. There is so much long lining going on it makes me sick. Lot's of foul hooked pinks being taken. As for the two younger anglers they will have little trouble finding coho and steelhead if they stick to proper fishing techniques. Good on Ya.

yeah... I was up on Sat and was quite digusted with the flosser's under the kieth wilson road bridge. I hated to go there but had to see it with my own eye's. Nothing is getting by there during the day light hours. I think we need some restictions about the way people fish the vedder chilliwack system put in place !!!!!
-
I was down at the vedder too, somebody might have seen me im 15 years old :D anyways, me n my dad were somehwere between the keith wilson and the #1 brdge, I got a female pink right off the bat, my dad lost a few I lost what seemed to be a big coho or a medium spring, came right to me, headed to the beach and got away :/ then we decided to pack up and go home :P we didn't fish for long, only bout 2 hours, came there at like 5 pm...... the only downside are all the logs and branches in the river, guy next to me csated 2-3 times and snagged, and did that over and over... after about 5 times of snagging he left.. lol... I snagged only once . and once I had a fish and it went around a branch bout 5-6 times and it left my line tangled :P well enough writing.. haha

Why only the Vedder?
-
Well eddie I'm guessing that allot of people are going to the vedder because they want to check out the river for the season. It is also probably your best chance for an early season coho or spring. Besides the pinks are really easy to catch i there right now if you go to the right spots. I'm not talkin keith wilson either!!!

thanx for the report. good thing you didn't get your eyes. :-\
-
No problem blayd. Yes getting in the eyes would have sucked!!!!!!!
-
yes good thing it wasnt in the eyes,i have never seen a barbless hook so tough to get out, was nearly ready to break out the plyers,lol.You should have seen the look on bigsteels face when he realized what he had done,after we realized he was allright the mandatory ribbing started,lol.
-
Yes searun thanks again for the removal of the hook. Well one would expect ribbing for something like that. I was just a little annoyed at myself for doing it in front of you. :P :P
-
Why only the Vedder?
Possibly because this is a Vedder report?
Did he mention only the Vedder River? Or was he required to list out the thousands of river systems that exist in this province?
Give it a rest. Sure trying very hard to stay away from the flossing debates. ::)

good one ;D
-
But when the springs and coho show up isn't tamahi and allison pool a bit of a gong show as well? It has been when I've stopped to watch!!!!! :-\ :-\ Just wondering, cause I wouldn't fish those places as well if they were the last holes to fish. I stick to fishing runs not deep pools. Just one mans opinion!!!!!
-
I think Trev was being sarcastic there... ;)
-
Ya I knew that!!! Really I did!!!!! HAHA ha :P :P
-
Sorry my bad, I am not quick learner. I only found out about computers last week Awya, I'll just stop while I'm behind. Have learn the people in here a bit better so I know when they are joking or not!!! GOD I MUST SOUND LIKE SUCH AN IDIOT. K I'm done!!! :P :P

nice pics dennisk ;)....When it comes to coho fishin the vedder, i always try to stay away from places like allison pool and tamihi because of the snaggers and gong show. we've found a spot thats hard to get too (a lot of walking :P, but worth the fish. last year on thanksgiving, my dad and i hooked over 20 ho's each) excellent spot. heading there on the 1st of oct. and just cant wait!
