Your earliest steelhead caught?
« on: November 19, 2010, 11:49:28 PM »
earlier this week, i heard someone on the Vedder landed a hatch at mid river...just wondering for those who steelhead, what was the earliest date you've caught a winter run?... mine was Dec. 29 back in 2006.

Boxing day on the Capilano. My buddy had gotten a new set up from Santa and let me have a couple of casts. Third cast, a chrome bullet and the first fish on that rod. We were supposed to only being out "testing" the equipment. ;D

Earliest winter run I have seen landed on the Vedder is Oct 12, sometime in the early 80's.  Earliest I have hooked a Vedder steelhead was Nov 14, 1966   .... earliest I have landed a Vedder steelhead is Dec 1, 1974.

I started fishing the chilliwack vedder in 1975.I got to know a few of the locals in Fred's coffee shop.They told me to go down to Peach road and cast behind the big stump in middle of river.When I came back to the coffee shop about an hour later were they ever surprised to see a 14lb. buck in the back of my truck.Nov.14.
