« on: September 20, 2009, 07:47:40 PM »
Anyone else have much luck on the vedder today. First trip for me and was a great day. Took one Jack home lost a couple, lots of pink action. What a great experience, I cannot wait to get back up there.

Sounds like a great day for you. I'm still waiting for my first day up there this year.
Where on the river were you fishing and how were the crowds?

I was on the canal today with the family, too many tangles and snags but my son managed on pink almost to the shore, his first fish ever.  Mabey he will get one still this year.  I think I will head out tomorrow again to get some actual fishing in.  Still need to get a pink on the fly, as today only had one brief take and no hook ups.

I got a pink, foul hooked 3, I think. I was there from just before sunrise till about 8 30 or so. just over an hr and half, 2 hrs may be.

I was knee deep in the water, and literally saw lots of fish swim by my feet. For a second, I considered casting straight down.. :-\

I was casting into 2 feet of water in front of school of chrome pinks (errr well thousands of schools).
I must have landed 20 in one hour and lost around 10 more and then foul hooked maybe 3 (really big gross humpies).
All on silver hammered colorados (found a new wake of making those that I might post later), and almost all the fish landed were bullets.
My advice (although from only one day back since moving to island).. size 2 silver colorado, find school moving up, cast above them and hammer time.
Make sure your float is right up to your weights with only a 12 inch or so leader, and no need to stand in the water.
Watched fish all day moving up less than 5 feet from edge, and believe me they are not all pinks (watch for black tails)  ;)
