Thank's chris for the report. Was out for awhile yesterday. Clarity was picking up the last hour. On reports, did manage to get out to suicide creek for a few hours yesterday. Water was still coming down. Alot of guys in runs down from the two train bridges. They had a few zombies on the beach. Did not see any that would have been either table or smoker worthy. They all seem to be happy though, so all power to them. I left after finding some fish to hassle in a run down from them. Nothing worthy though. One rather large wild I let go. Then checked out the vedder.

Oops forgot to put the link here.http://ow.ly/miEl50CoqbB water did not look to bad today but did not get a real close look, I was float hunting below one of the pumping stations and it was pumping in dirty ditch water. Found 8 nice floats. Sorry i did not go to a better area, will later today. Snow level down today so cooler .

Water conditions in the Lower yesterday were fishable. Fresh run chum salmon continue to roll in, jigs are the ticket as I found out.
Glad you are having success with artificials. Well presented they can often outfish roe. I haven't touched roe in more than 6 years now and don't miss it at all. Love my wool, beads, jigs and colorado blades.

After river cleanup I had a nap and out late afternoon, 2 cast fesh run chum salmon. Cooked for supper delicious. river great condition. Raining now but cool. Don't forget a donation to the Go Fund please hope you found the link. Maybe Rod will make it easier to find the link. This is important guys and gals. probably the only time since I have been on this forum since 2001 I have asked to support a cause for money.

Thanks for those who have donated I see some who have, will you help too?

Walked the lower portion today, not as high as I expected with the recent weather, but still a little on the high/fast side with maybe a foot visibility? Fishable though. Chum still in the main run of the river. Should clear up nice and quick with the upcoming forecast

fished yesterday from sunrise till 1100 on the other side of river from the cement slab with my 30 year vedder partner under partially sunny skies surrounded by snow capped mountains and nobody else in sight. slightly colored chum were taking the wool and bead offerings and my partner landed a beautiful hatch buck coho that was showing a tinge of red. river was a little high and green with 18 inch visibility
 never fished coho this late in the season and i can see why...not much left in the river. walked to the boundary and saw lots of bigger chum sitting in the pool in front of slesse.
