I believe he was referring to a year round bait ban. As long as the fish is eaten why not harvest a doe for the roe? Only keeps the cycle going of bait for fishing... Unless you have a problem with anglers who use bait as it seems like you do judging by your post. I know that if the vedder was a year round bait ban that the number of snaggers out there would sky rocket as what will everyone use? WOOL 

Read the second sentence in my post.  As the law stands now, if you catch and keep a female, do whatever you want with the roe;  eat it, chuck it or use it for bait (if permitted).   But, personally, I believe that there is an issue that there are too many people who will only target and kill female fish primarily for the roe to be used as bait.  And what should I conclude from your last statement?  If anglers can't use roe, they will become snaggers in order to kill the same number of fish as before?  Or snaggers can kill more fish than bait fishermen who can kill more fish than artificial lure fishermen?   So, yes, in my opinion, if there was a year round bait ban on the Vedder, we would end up killing less fish.

I was wondering how many people here have hiked arund the vedder,and what can of luck you have had over the years??I mean standing shoulder to shoulder at the alison pool just doesnt seem like fun.aslo I have heard of car break in's???

Park your car anywhere safe-- walk to the river --anywhere-- then walk up or down river to find your own "secret spots" -- much better than elbow to elbow with 30 river hogs --also you meet a better class of people if you walk to "your " spot--Cheers

I personally dont see aproblem with using bait,using bait while hunting is a whole other argument,snagging should be banned period,that what we should be discussing,when I was at pegleg during the pink season,I caught nothing,while the snaggers cleaned up

Yes, it is fishable all the way to the confluence of the Fraser River.

The boundaries and opening times can be found at http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/regulations/docs/0911/fish-synopsis_2009-11_region2.pdf

The Chilliwack River fall salmon fishery information is summarized in this thread: http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=21963.0

It the mouth of the Vedder (where it meets the Fraser) accessable by walking/car?

[whereismyfloat]

is it private indian land there?

[HOOK]

you can walk to the mouth but there is absolutely nowhere to fish from shore there. We did the walk a few years ago and it sucked to find nothing 

[whereismyfloat]

Thanks,
 
that will save a few thousand calories

Do not attempt to walk you way to the mouth, You will never find your way back.... But the whole marshy walk there is a good workout. You could drive up to island 22 and walk the railroad tracks, which will take you to an area near the mouth that youll have all to yourself.

[whereismyfloat]

is it suitable with a fly rod or just casting gear?

Let me guess...you have never actually walked to the mouth from Island 22, have you?

[dennyman]

I was going to say the same thing Clarki. Can't be done, so to save some people some time, the mouth of the Vedder is not accessible by foot from Island 22.
