Have yet to figure out how this fits under river conditions. :-\

Read reply #5

Fred's had another steelhead weighed in today. This season is going to be a steller year for fish and probably a terrible one for crowds  :-[

Chris on your tube for brood stock I've noticed you have a laminated piece of paper attached to it. I was wondering what is written on it.

this site does not help with keeping the crowds away..... neither does say another steelhead weighed in at freds

Two fish at Freds on Dec 13 with the quality of local anglers fishing daily ... poor returns of early run fish to date, imo

Only two fish weighed in at Fred's so far. They're still waiting for the first derby entry.

Pretty slow out there.....

Basically sounds like an average Dec for the Chedder.

Miserable wet, windy and wet snow today, a good day to hibernate or a trip to Cookies for breakfast with "The Master' for a fishing update.

Very cold, very wet and very low vis from the top alway the down to the crossing. Must have been a slide somewhere. Didn't hear of any fish caught and didn't bother fishing below the crossing because conditions didn't seem to be improving as we went lower. Pretty typical December steelhead day.

Yeah water clarity was horrible, cant see it improving for today. Waste of time in my opinion, fish just cant see when its that bad.

This post is directed at the last few posts I've removed in this thread in case anyone's confused.

Unlike what some seem to believe, Chris does not have the ability to foresee the future, not that I am aware of anyway. Please stop asking him how the water condition will be on the following day. He does not need to have the pressure to determine whether someone should go fishing or not based on his prediction. If you are free, I'd suggest you go and report back to us what the water condition is.

As we have started doing this fall, all posts on water condition request will be removed. It frustrates people to check the thread for new posts only to find out they are just more requests of people asking for an update.
