Title: Harrison River
Post by: Barney on October 13, 2005, 07:13:02 PM

My son and nephew and I were fishing today below the rail bridge at Kilby and tons of fish.  I am wondering just what I did see?  It seemed like a lot of chromers as well as spawn ready, jumpers all around but unable make positive i.d.  Guide boat out in the middle but they were not hitting anything either.

Thanks again for the heads up. Might get back to the area again sometime soon, tomorrow, hope to be on the Vedder, just finishing a week off and unfortunately not as much time spent fishin' as I had hoped.

Most likley what you seen where Chum or the big springs the Coho are there but the water is clear and they go thru there very fast in daylight.....the guide boat anchored was most likley looking for springs or stugeon, if you are on the beach below the train bridge you can get cuttthroat and salmon on the fly.....

I think I see a boat in the near future, the canoe just might not handle the "big ones"

Or the whirl pools at the mouth of the Harrison, Barn. ;D

Time to visit Wayne and buy a jet boat like everyone else in the Wack does.
