[Craig]

I want to do some fishing for coho with my daughter. I usually go to the Vedder and drift. The problem is my daughter doesn't like drift fishing, she likes lazy fishing and looking around at the sites.

I was thinking of finding a spot where she could plunk beside me as I drift fish. I have some sockeye roe. Would I just bag it and set her up around a foot off the bottom? Would a spin n glo work about as good? Other suggestions.

I don't see anyone doing it so I am guessing it isn't as productive but it is what she wants to do.
The spot I am thinking of, I can cast her downstream where nobody is drifting so it shouldn't be a problem right?

This is done in the lower part of the Vedder River (canal) at times by a few older anglers but generally not often practiced due to space limitation. Some of the tailouts in the canal should be ok as they rarely get fished and coho do in fact hold in that water especially early in the morning.

I've seen guys do this on the canal for steelhead. Of course when the season really gets going it could be tricky finding a spot where other anglers aren't around as Rodney mentioned but I'm sure you could find someplace.
