[Fish or cut bait.]

No.
The spawning steel.
Nice vid.
Nice music.
Too bad they were targeting spawning steel.
An incidental catch is one thing.
Targeting another.

Poor example of a steelheader, pulling spawners and kelts right of the redds. Should be closed to prevent such actions in the future.

X3
personally I'd not call this steelheading, but what do you expect from the Stave?

Nice Perciformes, Rod!
Takes me back to when I was a kid. I used to catch smallies off the dock at our cottage in Northern Ontario. I'd slay them with nightcrawlers and a bobber then take one up to dad where he'd fix it up for breaky.

Sorry to offend you guys. This is kind of why I don't post much on the forum; seems like there will always be criticism. The fish in the video were actually "by catch", if you will. I was targeting a few of the bright, clean ones I saw dart into the run and a darker one bites. Thought I'd put a short vid together just for fun, but I guess that's not ethical. Not everyone is lucky enough to venture out to the Vedder at first light. Thanks for the input, I guess I won't be doing that again...

This has nothing against you or your video but is a good example of why the season should be closed earlier than it is currently.
You did everything within the law but most fish at this time of year are well past there prime and should be left to do there thing.
Yes there are few fish that enter late as well as early which is a good thing and creates a more diversified stock.
These fish are few and far between however and the percentage of clean vs boot fish is too small to keep it open.
Of course this only my opinion an d you know what they say about opinions.lol

Totally agree with you. If I had more chances to fish earlier in the season perhaps I would leave the late run alone, but with school and work it's not easy to pick and choose when I can fish. These fish were caught late March.

Further discussion about this topic can be found in the separate thread I started, let's get back to the fish pics

Sorry to offend you guys.............

There is no need for that. You did an excellent job on the last one.  The video was excellent.  The music was good.
I look fwd to your future clips, hopefully with the sky grey and the trees bare, and the fish so clean that it will blind our eyes.

I was able to spend a week in Kamloops for my first experience at chironomid fishing. Mostly went to Roche and other lakes in the general area. Completely lucked out with the weather and seasonal timing and had 70+ hookups over the week, and even lost track of the count on two of the days.

A few release montages of the typical 2 lb'er hard fighting Pennask triploids that were the average size for the week:








---
A few had some brilliant colours! Diploid perhaps?





---
You can encounter the occasionally Fraser Valley in some of the lakes too.



---
I got the first Brook trout of my life at ~2.7 lbs. These things are fat like footballs!



---
If everything works out in your favour sometimes you'll luck into a double-header



If it *really* works out for you, you just might get another DH 23 minutes later


Sometimes the doubles are a giant and a midget. I ended up with 6 double headers on the week and 5 were on one amazing day.



---
What were they feeding on? Chironimid of course!




---
My largest of the week @ ~ 3.7 lbs



---
Apparently there are other things up there besides fish too
