Vedder fall red springs
« on: September 06, 2004, 09:45:22 PM »
Read an article some time ago stating that the Vedder river hatchery was trying to introduce a fall red spring run.  Heard of a few caught in Sept/Oct in the last couple of years at the Vedder, perhaps we will see more fall reds in the system in future. :D
Remarkable summer red spring returns this year.  Drop by the hatchery to view and appreciate the summer returns.

Fall run red springs being introduced to the Vedder? I haven't heard that yet but who knows. I agree with Doc, you don't see many Red's in sept, the ones you do get are usually old summer fish (Bowron stock). Is there such a thing as a Fall run Red Chinook?

If there is such a thing as fall run red chinook fishery it's a big secret. All the chinooks I've caught from the Vedder have been white.

It's hard to believe a fall run of reds but I've heard this too many times now and seen the odd chrome Oct. reds to 20#.  I'll have to dig deeper into some old literature to find the answer.  Better yet a call to the hatchery should verify this.   :o

Do you get any storage space with your ISP that you can upload your pictures to?  Thats what I do.  

Then, after they are uploaded, click on the 4th button on the second row of "Add YABBC tags:" and put the url address of your uploaded pics in between the [img] brackets.

Nice Jack Doc! What's the date on that one? It doesn't look like a summer red that you get in July.......that's a chromer all right.

I never thought much of them introducing Harrison whites to the Vedder for as far as I know, they were never native to the Vedder in the first place.

I personally hate em when they get in the river and crowd out the coho.

I know that for the last three years a small run of red springs comes thru between the first and second week of October. Usually I don't keep Vedder springs but each year at that time I'm into nice bright fish and we were quite surprised they were reds. Now I keep an open space on my licence for that one last red. Those are picked up in the canal on a single orange jensen egg and have ranged from 12 - 28lbs.

Nice little bonus no doubt. I killed one myself a few years back, a jack in late sept. I thought it was more of an anomoly than a run of fish. The Jack had orangey-marble meat & was definitely not a White.

Yeah, I caught one of them last year.  It's about 9lbs.  I thought that, for some reason, the summer red must have somehow interbred with the fall whites.

What exactly is the story on this? ???

3 or 4 years ago, I got a red spring about 15 lbs under the highway bridge in February on a colorado spoon.
I was expecting a steelhead (first on a spoon) until I got it close to shore.  Maybe this fish was headed to the upper reaches of the Fraser and got lost? I guest that in the grand scheme of things going 4 km out of your way for a bit isnt a big problem.  ???

Ive got a few jack springs in late Sept, all marbled and a guy I fish with got one about 8 lbs, marbled as well.  ??? I dont think Ive ever got a pure red beyond the one in the canal.
