Title: Chilliwack/Vedder Steelhead and river condition updates
Post by: mikeyman on December 20, 2014, 07:36:24 PM: Not sure if there is a thread yet. Wondering how the river looked today. Heading out tomorrow.

According to Freds, river spiked from the rain but has already dropped down to 2.25m. Clarity at the crossing is hovering around 20".

Post by: VA7DDP on December 22, 2014, 08:26:08 PM: Fished it today, very fast running water, still quite high, 2ft visibility. Larger presentation really only viable option. 12mm beads, medium gooey bob etc....

Post by: DRP79 on December 27, 2014, 09:34:31 AM: How is it holding up with last nights and todays rain? Is it cold enough that its not effecting the river much? Thanks.

Post by: chris gadsden on December 27, 2014, 12:07:03 PM: Fairly cool so should be OK but have not checked, rain tapering off now.

Post by: SilverChaser on December 27, 2014, 12:29:11 PM: What Chris said; its cool but the water is holding up nicely. Dad lost a steelhead yesterday and we both didn't hit anything this morning. Might give it a shot again in a few hours.

Post by: Tenz85 on December 27, 2014, 04:52:54 PM: Was nice in the morning but began to hold a silty hue in afternoon. Not much of a bump on the water level so should keep improving.

Post by: DRP79 on December 27, 2014, 04:59:43 PM: Thanks for the updates. I think I will give it a go in the morning.

Post by: BigFisher on December 29, 2014, 02:00:44 PM: Heavy freezing cold winds and no fish. Not worth fishing in my opinion.
