I made a tour of the river today and cleaned up some garbage. I have pictures on the FVSS FB page of what it looked out there.
What about those of us who don't do Facebook. That's discrimination Chris! :'(

One fish for me today - doesn't seem to be too many fish in the river.
Only saw a few other fish caught today.

Should pick up later in the week - tides were all wrong today as well.

Is it any good on the BBQ?

Sorry but too complicated for an old guy like me to put pictures here. I have told Rod a few times why not make it as simple as FB.lol

I will put a video up tomorrow here for you that shows the scene but I am sure you know what it looks like.lol

My old rule of thumb for B.B. was not to bother going out till a few days after the whonick gilnet was over 100.

I’ve seen some of the pictures of how busy it is. No thanks I’ll wait

After talking with 6 people I Know it sounded very slow all around. If you caught your limit you were the minority.

It amazes me to see how many people that lack the ability to read the water. We found a perfect seam that everyone in out area overlooked.

Read the water so true.
A young fellow has a fish on, working the bottom of the run. He went into the water after the fish, on sand!!! The bottom fell away from him. He fighting for his life, no one noticed, I am now yelling and running get him, he made it out. I grab him, I am an old guy been working on this river all my life. This is a run, there’s a, back eddy, soft water, and look at all the sand, soft bottom.
Really freak me out!
No one noticed him, no one told him,
Pass it on, and stay safe out there.

Well done in help save his life. Always remember the water can claim ones life any minute. Too many people drown in BC each year. No fish is worth taking a chance. Make sure you wear a inflatable  life vest when in a boat, you will notice Rodney always wears ones in his videos. Some people wear a flotation vest when even fishing from shore.

When I was younger and foolish I hardly had a life preserver on when in a boat, silly

Managed 1 between two of us last night. Took a while to get all the bugs out of our arms and equipment. Only a few people got fish.

Took the boat out last night 5-8pm and got my 2.  Was out again first light this morning and got my 2 and back home in Cloverdale by 9.  Beat the heat today!  Lost several at the boat because it’s just me and have to hand bomb those dam long leaders.

went to scale yesterday with my 78 year old fishing buddy and found two 3ft piles of bolders blocking the path no way round so he barely made it over ,so if you have any walking problems take note. I don't know who did this but they are libel if someone gets hurt. is this crown or private land. fishing was quite slow.

Fishing was okay this morning even tho it was spotty at times where we were. Just a heads up to all the people launching their boats at gill road and jesperson launch iv found a shitload of fresh unrusted nails where the boats launch at both locations that looked intentionally placed so keep an eye out. Maybe a native or some purist vigilante lashing out . Just bought a pass at island 22 this morning problem solved.
