Chilliwack River, September 28th 2013
« on: September 28, 2013, 10:47:57 AM »

Well I slept in again.... :-[

Woke up in a panic and headed out to chilliwack. When I arrived at 730 the chosen spot there were quite a few coho on the beach. Speaking with other anglers, the consensus was first light bite was quite all right.  :P

No love for me although I did manage to break my rod on a pink hump trying to deep water land/release.

While at Fred's getting new rod I also picked up some roe. I had read bad reports about the quality to which the staff said if there's ever a problem with it let them know and they will make it right. I found the quality to be quite good (although one mushy spot) the eggs were soft but stayed together quite well.

Headed mid river next still dreaming of those elusive silvers. After a long hike in settled on a nice little run without much pressure. Wouldn't you know it, the bait brought two nice springs to hand and several other long line releases.

All in all great day on the river! Weather was good and hopefully water turns around quickly after the storm. Still looking for my first vedder coho of the season!!! Mmmmm....... Coho .ughgghhh (Homer Simpson)

Saw some coho rise and a fair number of springs...all tight lipped, threw everything at them, nothing doing, just pinks. Ugg. the river started to really color up when we left at 1 ish. Mid river for us.

If the rain in Walnut Grove is any indication of what's to come in Chilliwack the river will be toast by now and for a while. I could swim in my yard right now, It's close to blowing out ???

Stratocaster and I were able to limit out on hatch cohos this morning...on the "secret sauce" roe.    ;D ;D ;D  Great morning!  Hopefully this is only the beginning of more to come.  Also, I hope the river doesn't blow out and change too badly with all this rain that has arrived.  We'll see...

I was questioning my "secret sauce" roe, but I had an unprecedented day on the Vedder (how I imagined it was supposed to be) and am now mollified. Thank you pinks, you were greatly appreciated.

I was actually inspired to catch those Ho's by Chris' video of you Rod when you limited out (was it last year?) on the Vedder  ;)

were you lucky enough to catch all 4 hatch, or did you catch some wild too? I had a good day upriver by tamahi, caught 20-30 pinks, kept one chromer. Guys were catching springs, saw one landed and it was atleast 20lbs.

Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.
