Vedder coho questions
« on: November 26, 2015, 08:33:05 AM »

I'm thinking of giving it one more try at the Vedder this weekend. Is it worth the trip, anything still biting out there? Does this cold weather make a difference either way, and/or is it pretty well done now? Appreciate any latest info. Thanks all!

There is always a chance at catching a coho in late November/early December. There is also a chance at taking an early steelhead - they like the same stuff as coho do. (except holding in frog water).
Therefore, I say go and scout the brand new river...all intel you collect will be very valuable to you.

I fish 3 days a week and have hooked at least 1 coho every trip except yesterday.
It's always worth it to go fishing. Like milo said if you're planning on fishing steelhead now is a great time to get to know this new river that has formed from the last high water.
This time of year i move around a lot to find the fish, like steelhead fishing the fish aren't moving up river like a conveyor belt so you have to find them. This is what has worked for me.

Coho trickle in till late December i have caught a few chromer wilds mid to late December but its not the fall run numbers of course. Other fishery right now that is awesome and hot on the vedder is dollie and bull trout. They are feeding like mad on salmon eggs and can get very big i always look for them in tailouts where dead eggs float down from fast water, beads or jensen eggs work like magic. I could catch them all day its fun times because you always think "could it be an early steel?" and sometimes it really can haha.



This was a rather large fish.

You even have it on your face. You may find out that roe cure is not body friendly later in life. Your liver processes every thing that we put in or on the body. Your skin is the biggest organ you have.

I think you should trade your reel for this one:



It matches your rod, waders and hands to a "T".  ;D ;D

On a more serious note, well done and thank you for showing the young (and some not so young) crowd how it's done. (except foe the stains, LOL!)

nice fish boys..looks like good weekend before the rains come back on tuesday. Saw a steelhead caught last wednesday. Time to switch up to the steelhead gear. This 2015 chinook/coho run has been above expectations for me. Definately been a blast
