Great picture, Rodney.
For the past many years I have have fished in the lower river among the cottonwoods and have gotten used to browns and greens.

This year, I have fished mostly in the upper river and the colours are spectacular. Even yesterday, I remarked to those around me how beautiful the colours were around us.

I love fishing in the fall when low cloud clings to the coloured mountainsides, just as your picture shows.

Chilliwack River Hatchery completed about 1/4 of the chinook salmon spawning this past week. The target is once again 2 million juveniles.

I'm amazed how low the river is staying while the rain comes on and off, for now...

Not a whole lot of fish to report today, spent the afternoon mostly just exploring new locations where I haven't visited this season yet for a change of scenery.

Look at the size of those spots along the back! Maybe it's just the lighting but they seem a lot bigger than normal. Beauty!

Stayed home to be a good boy today and finish up a video that will go live tmr evening. River level is slowly creeping up, but I'm hoping for some good bites in the morning. ;D

Better hope that winter run steelhead didn't run into the same issues that summer run's did coast wide.
worst returns on record for virtually every system from the Columbia to the Skeena.
If they did it will be a long near fishless winter.

I personally have not noticed the chilliwack steelhead to follow the same trends as other watersheds. I’m crossing my fingers this is the case this year.
