Arrive at the stave river by 9am, hoping to catch some early chum or spring. to my surprise, that place was quiet as hell... WATER IS WAY TOO LOW, WAY TOO EARLY!!! couldn't see any sign of fish. Gave it a try anyways, for about half an hour, nothin' , so i left for Vedder. Got to the KWB at 10:30am, saw about 10 fishermen there. and u know what, the guy with red cap and sunglasses on who was BBing for sox last week, was doing the same there today!! So off i drove further down the river, to the spot right under highway 1 bridge. Met a guy who works for Fred's. A nice friendly fellow he was. we both drifted roe, to no avail. saw a tyee splashing and jumping right under the bridge often, but it just won't take our offerings. Rain started pouring around 1 and that guy left, i grabbed his spot and switched my gear to chucking spoon. On my first cast, i mean my FIRST cast, the jack took my green gibbs koho hard! a brief fight for about 2 minutes, and it was landed.
i just got excited to learn it was a jack
there were also a few coho jacks holding right beside the bridge poles too, but it just won't take anything. didn't see any sign of chum yet though.
good luck fishing , guys, water is raising and the fish r really showing up now. it's time to drop the puck, and the hook~
