River level was at 1.7 meters.
Tried Dog park in early morning. lots of guys there, 3 , before I started, then 4, then 6. nothing seen.
Went back upstream of the clay banks for the 1-3pm bite time. Had one on briefly but didn't get the hook set, it rolled and came off. Flesh coloured wool. good tip on the wool colour, very clear water.

I was at dog park today around 10 am on the Chilliwack side and didn’t see any action. Went down to the canal after the dog park and there was about 10 anglers spread out all the way from the bridge down to the golf course. Didn’t see anyone catching in my travels today.

Well, the demon has been unleashed. Couldn't help it and went out again tonight for a couple of hours, got one doe around 6lb, popped off by my feet  and missed four in a row after that.

It’s good. Slightly tinged. I lost a rocket today. Smashed the bead and came up and rolled then took off into the middle of the river peeling line out at warp speed. Thrashed a couple of times and the party was over before it really got started.  :o

Fished the lower today but the runs were quite slow. Didn't see anyone fighting fish. Then we went mid river and my friend hooked into 2 and lost them. River is in good shape with good visibility.

Popped down to the river for an hour yesterday and had lots of action, starting with missing three fish, then had this buck going for my shrimp on three drifts in a row before being hooked. Good water conditions, starting to be a bit on the low side but still good IMO.



Have a great weekend.
