Celebrating 2010's World Rivers Day on the Vedder!
« on: September 08, 2010, 12:36:00 PM »

World Rivers Day is on Sunday September 26th and the Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society invites you to take part in this year's celebration!

We will be hosting a Chilliwack River cleanup on September 26th. Volunteers will meet and register at the Chilliwack Fish and Game Club House between 8:30am and 9:30am. There will be coffee and donuts provided by Tim Hortons for you. You will then be assigned to a section of the river and take part in the cleanup until Noon. Once the cleanup is over, there will be a BBQ waiting for you back at the club house, followed by entertainment, words from the directors and draw prizes. The entire event is FREE, this is our way of thanking all the old and new dedicated volunteers for keeping the Chilliwack River clean.

Please bring appropriate clothings and footwear (waders are not necessary but would help). Plastic gloves, pick-up tools, garbage bags will be available at the event for you. If you are not familiar with the Chilliwack River, not to worry because we will assign you to a group who knows the area. This is also a great way to learn new fishing spots. ;)

This will be our 9th World Rivers Day celebration! Celebrate by doing some early morning coho salmon fishing and giving something back to the river afterward. :)

Many forum members will be coming out to this so it is a good opportunity to meet others who you have interacted with for a long time.

See you on September 26th!

I'll do a draw for five free annual subscription this year out of all the forum members who attend the event.

I hate to miss it but I won't be in the LML.
I'll be at Roche Lake with a bunch of crazy fly-fishermen that weekend.

Have fun!

I'm in, but your voting won't be an accurate count. My fishing buddy and my son will come too, and I can't vote 3 times. Nonetheless, it's in the calendar.

Excellent. :)

The vote is just for fun to see how many forum members are in, not looking for an accurate count. This event actually gets over 200 people attending each year and most are actually not fishermen. Lets see if we can increase the participation by fishermen this year.

Well I'm happy to report that I finally took my son out (yes bb'ing the Fraser for sox against everyones advice but let's not hijack talking about that) and I'll say he's now on his way to being a fisherman. Confident with bait casting reel, has caught a few, likes gutting and cleaning them and tonight BBQ'd one. Just gotta teach him to filet them. Anyways, my point is, count 3 'fishermen' in!

Bumping it back to the top!

With so many vocal concerned anglers on forums, we should see a big turnout.

Bad timing Rod. We have that Fall Fish In on the other site. Wish I could do my part but the cabin is booked.

I was hoping to but my missus decided on a Whistler trip with her girlfriend and now I must stay home and babysit.  :(

Was hoping to get in a little coho fishing beforehand and ending off with meeting a few of the forum members at the BBQ.
