Chilliwack River, October 6th 2011
« on: October 06, 2011, 09:16:45 AM »
Quick trip back home to get some garbage bags to cleanup some garbage left on the Vedder, nice op be 5 minutes from the river, sorry to those of you at work. :D  Fishing is hot this morning as I have two chinook jacks landed so far and a few misses. Gave up my spot to Lew while I pick up the garbage, always got to give back to the river that gives us so much enjoyment. I will get back at it when the tide is more favorable but hard to beat the action of the Maple Leaf DNE going down this morning. ;D ;D
Also netted a 15 pound chinook for a chap this morning, "good for the smoker" he says but they are still good for the table in most cases.

I see Rodney is out too, will try to talk him in going to Cookies for lunch but hard to pry from the river sometimes.  ;D ;D

I think a coho adult salmon is in the offering shortly. ;)

Was out early this morning as well.  Started in the canal - only one other fisher in my favorite stretch.  No sign of fish at all - fished there for about 45 minutes then went looking for where the fish might have moved to.  Drove around to Yarrow and tried the lower end of the river for about an hour.  Nothing for me or anyone else there.  Headed down to a place on the canal between the 2 I'd already tried and by the time I got there (9:00) the crowd had already arrived.  Saw 5 fish (either coho or spring) hooked and brought to shore - all were released.  10:00 headed back to Guildford to work.  (Variable mortgage rates going up so several clients wanting to get deals while they can) 

Overall, a very good day. 
That said, even a smoker spring would have made it better ;-)

After getting up at 3:30am, spending a few hours processing fish tonight, I am now exhausted so the report has to wait... :-\

I'll just leave a photo up for now. :)



Yes, that's a bag of milt sacs at the bottom. It's my daily supplement to help me grow a few inches (in height...) so I can feel more confident. :o
