Chilliwack/Vedder River Pink Salmon Run 2015
« on: August 07, 2015, 02:56:04 PM »
According to Fred's Custom Tackle's fishing report, some pinks are starting to show up on the lower portion of the Vedder. I haven't seen any myself yet, but that is a pretty good sign for a good season ahead. I wonder who will land the first Vedder pink of the season? Feel free to post your wisdom or fish pics on this thread. ;) Anyways good luck all!

Really? On the Vedder? The earliest pink I've ever caught was between 20th-25th of August.

So when do pinks normally show in good numbers at the Vedder?  I rarely go there before Mid September because there's tons of Fraser Pinks close to Vancouver.

Yes on the lower vedder.
They usually enter in decent numbers by late August/early September.

It's a bit early, but I have no doubt that some fish are pushing in. I usually start finding pinks in fishable numbers by late August. Sometimes I get lucky and catch the odd spring jack at that time as well. Time to stock up on pink jigs, spinners etc. before they're sold out! ;D

No pinks in test nets so very few pinks coming up Fraser yet....2-3 more weeks than the flood begins...there are pinks at the mouth schooling up already for over a week.

Stopped at the Vedder today to try some pink fishing. River has come up a bit after the rain we had last night which is good to see. No action for me though. Didn't even see a fish rise, but I guess that is to be expected when it's this early in the season. A couple or so more weeks until the fishing picks up. Until then, time to start rigging up my leader boards!
