Vedder success July 10
« on: July 10, 2005, 02:23:31 PM »
Gooey and I did well today, both taking home a spring.. Gooey had a hot day as he hooked three springs. I got the first sockeye of the year, bigger than average and dime silver. It was a great fighter with some spectacular jumps... quickly released.  It took roe with a bit of red wool for added colour. Will have pictures soon. My spring was pretty small, but Gooey's was 17lbs.

Well I was at the chilliwack fish hatchery yesterday and saw 10 red springs, and I couldn't believe it there was 1 doe chum in there as well, pretty earily for a chum in the hatchery. Maybe we are heading for a real good season ahead. YEEHAA. ;D

Hi Sterling, no not first light. We decided that we always end up hooking our fish around 9:00am anyway so we slept in. We left Vancouver at 5:00am, didn't get to the river till 6:00am and of course it paid off. We got the first fish at ...9:00am.  Yesterday at the Cap there was a big spring in there already, and it was digging a nest.

Water looks good. What kind of level is she in now? I mean "High, medium flow or rushing water or just perfect"?

The water was great, yes its high but these beuatiful slots were popping up where it was too shallow before...they were in perfect shape and really productive!    The river had great color/vis too.
I think these

I find these reds very powerful and fiesty...dont be afraid to go heavy on them.

I was using my fraser rod: 11'6 spooled with 50 lb power pro.  Stuck my drennan on the PP and tied off to a swivel.  From there I ran about 5-6 feet of 15lb maxima with 3 split shot a couple feet up from a 2/0 gami.  Bit of wool and some roe and that did the trick.  

I am really pleased with how this rig fished (especially the power pro line).  I snapped off 10 times in the last 2 trips (snags etc) and I still have my drennan so it seems to be a good way to fish when the water is high and you need a little more muscle to control the awesome fish.

Iv never used roe for a bait how do you get it to stay on your hook.
Thats sweet too see 2 Reds coming out of the Vedder! Where abouts Did you guys hook into them?
You guys think the best time to fish is around 9? Well Ill have to try my luck around then.
Thanks for the Photos, now i really got to get my line out there!
