[Fishin Freak]

Same old song and dance for me. Hooked into some, lost them all including a nice Coho but that's nothing new anymore. Fished the lower river in the evening. The drought continues...

[MERC]

Fished lower section. Really slow for cohos.  Fished from 6:30 ish until 2:00.  Long line released too many chum  and springs.  Landed one wild coho that was promptly released.  Bright chrome.  Saw 1 hatchery bonked and one other coho lost at shore.  That's all for coho's. For some reason, darker colors of wool seemed to be more effective.  I used peach and light pink (bubble gum) and nothing.  Changed to dark orange, dark pink and red and it seemed to be the ticket in the clear water.  Good visibility too. Nice day to be out, no rain.

Hey, its nice to see a truthful fishing report, I commend you. Thanks

[FishOn]

I fished the lower river for the first two hours after daybreak and only hooked one chum. It was very slow and I didn't see any other fish hooked. I then relocated to the upper river and hooked numerous spring managing to beach 4. I kept one fairly clean one that weighed about 20lbs. One of the springs I released was 35-40lbs.

However the coho were elusive once again. I hooked one near dusk and the person next to me landed a hatchery around the same time.

Fished the Chedder today.  Fly fisheing was excellent.  Numerous CO hook-ups 4 landed.  Only 1 hatchery CO to keep.  White springs were quite a menace --they keep stealing my nice flies.  The chums were time consumming to land and release.  Over all it was an excellent day.  Got to tie some more flies before going to bed. Bye.

Has anyone tried blue wool?

2 of us fished below sumas river on the lower vedder yesterday and caught a few casting small dick nite's and vibrax spinners. Larget was a 12lb hatchery coho on a #1 frog dick nite. Killed 3 hatchery and released 2 wild ones, lost a few more. Overall fishing was fiar but only saw a few others hooked and lost by the other boats on the river.

So someone else has finally discovered the dick nite!  Well, its been my favorite for a while now.   

[oddjob]

hey rin... am i right to assume you were fishing from a boat.  Were there people fishing from the bank ,did you see anybody hook on to any ?

[rln]

yes, I was in a boat. I only saw one fish hooked by the guys on the bank, but we spent most of our time below the train bridge. I did hear of 2 or 3 caught mid morning. Dick nites are huge in washington state for coho and for pink salmon river fishing. Most tackle stores down there carry a section 4'x4' devoted to dick nites.

[Koho]

Yup, DN's are my go 2 lure for salmon.
In the lakes too, I once saw this guy catch a monster football cuttie and another huge koke on these lures.

Ross UK, LukeYVR and I were there on the 20th. Knowing FishOn was going to be one of our favorite spot and knowing very well that there was a possibility that he was going to take his clothes off while fishing, we decided to stay at least 2km away from it. Well, actually we like Pete a lot, but we liked coho more and thought they would be higher up.

Our arrival was a bit early, total darkness prevented us from walking to the spot we wanted to go. We took our time to get everything ready before working our way to the river bank. Once it was light enough, we could see the water condition could not be any better. Clarity was good, level was good, the water colour had a slight green to it. I was excited. Chums were lining in the shallows as they made their way up. During the first hour, my float dipped twice and I was too slow to strike as usual. Soon after, this scream "FISH ON" coming from Luke downstreams had me running. It's amazing how loud that guy can scream when he has a fish on since he's usually such a quiet talker. That spring took him for a ride and it was one ride that almost swept him away. I had to tell Luke to give it up as there was no way he was going to turn the fish and the water was up to his waist.

We then decided to move further upstream, but that produced nothing so we decided to risk our chance and make our way back down to where FishOn would be fishing. He was no where to be found when we got there, left just before we arrived I believe. To my surprise, the spot was not crowded, and we already knew the people who were there. Ten minutes after I started, my float dipped slightly and a coho got on the end of that line. That fish ran straight towards me and I had no time to pick up all of the line so it popped right now.

A couple other coho misses after that didn't make things better. Blueback Hunter walked by us and said hi. He reported no action too. The rest of the day, Luke and I got into the odd chum and spring. Ross UK was still not convinced that his float would dip. We saw coho rolling every now and then, but called it a day at around 2pm.
