Rain and wind now but river was still fishable when I left.

Maple Leaf DNE float went down a few times with one chinook jack landed. 2:40 got one also.

Also while checking the time on my Ceil phone the MLDNE float down for a few seconds, finally I pull and have my biggest coho salmon on of the season  ;D but I had hooked it in the pectoral fin. ::) ??? Had I flossed it, I doubt it as the water is so slow in the water we are fishing. What most likely happened I took so long to set the hook the fish had just spit out the hook and when I set it the hook the hook found the body of the fish. :-[ I did not have to release it as the hook came out as I got it near the shore.

No flossing thread out of this please. ;D ;D

If you have a chance to get out this afternoon I would as if the rain falls like they say it may be the end of the coho season on the Chilliwack Vedder for 2008. :-\

We left around 3pm and the water was starting to rise but the clarity was still good.

I stayed until near-dark tonight and the river up top was still very fishable, and below it looked fine when I went by the crossing (though like I said, it was near dark and I couldn't be sure).

Rained again overnight and now too but the cool temperature may be the saving grace. :-\

River reading now up 4 inches though but I will find out conditions in a few minutes. ;D ;D

Was fishable at first light but I believe it went out later as I had to leave the river early to attend a meeting with the Minister of the Environment.

Rodney will give you a later update. ;D ;D

This morning in the lower was OK but the gauge has been on the rise all day and its going to be fairly tough for the weekend.

After the river patrol was completed this morning I slipped down to The Lower Bell and was surprised how good the water looked so I quickly grabbed the rod as I had little time to fish as had to be home for a meeting dealing with gravel excavation issues. ::)

The Maple Leaf DNE Float was very happy to go swimming 5 times, in under a hour of fishing time.

The results were, 3 misses, 1 fish lost with species unknown and rewarded for my efforts with a chrome 5 pound hatchery doe. ;D ;D Fresh fish for the week.

Fairly cool out so river should stay in but one never knows with changing weather conditions.
