Thanks for the updates Chris

Barring no more rains, how long do you think until it comes back into shape with it coming up so much

 Chris, your reports on the conditions are appreciated by those of us that live in Vancouver.  Am looking forward to getting out tomorrow but a 1 1/2 hour drive each way is brutal to fish chocolate milk type water.  Hopefully the water will be ok tomorrow.

Vedder River Clay Silt
« Reply #68 on: September 27, 2011, 05:51:02 PM »

Anyone know how long it takes for the Vedder to lose the clay silt after it stops raining?

It will be fine, hope you find a coho, the chinooks will be in too. I may have trouble sleeping tonight thinking of hooking my first coho of the season. ;D ;D  Roe will be the ticket or try a blade or lure in some of the backwaters areas caused by the recent jump in the water levels.
