Just check out the road cam at the Vedder Crossing bridge for height and clarity of the river.
Road cam at the crossing??? You have a link for that? Ive only seen (or heard of)the Chilliwack Lake Road cam which is in the Upper river

Don't bother on the C/V for a while...looks like chocolate milk.

Tie your flies/leaders instead!

Looking forward to hearing a river report for today as I was not able to make it out but would like a crack at it tomorrow if it's back to fishable yet/doesn't blow again tonight...

Water still high but great color however it did not help me break out of a slump of only 2 fish for the season.

Talked to a fellow fishing a run as I came down river who had lost one yesterday he said, left the run he was fishing to him of course. A little while later I see him coming out with a nice steelhead from the run.

Heard of one other taken but most anglers were in the same boat as me.

Maybe tomorrow.

Same. Fished Sunday, water was actually nice and green up top but so high couldn't find any fish and saw no one/heard of no one catching. TONS of people out Sunday. Still found many runs to myself and stayed away from the masses. 2 fish slump for me as well :'(

Lost one on Sun aft.

There were quite a few people on the river early in the day ....but in the aft, I fished a few empty runs.

Water was high but fairly clear in the upper stretches... Must be shaping up nice right now though.

Walking along Chwk Lake Road back to my vehicle, I noticed that there were about 20 garbage bags of random building supplies (I believe) just dumped off one of the side roads. I grabbed a picture just in case, maybe someone knows something? Kind of disturbing that people still do this.
