upper vedder oct 16

It pays to look for a spot far from the maddening crowd. Caught a 22 lb spring with red & orange wool and lost 2 prior. procured roe did not yield any hit.

Hey all,

I was also up past the vedder crossing on sat. Took my girlfriend and she hooked her first spring. Unfortunately she didn't have the tension very tight and freaked out about what to do and finally lost it. Anyways she had a great time.
The reason I'm posting is that about what I saw. Someone took a massive truck and dumped a huge load of crap right over the edge onto the river bank. I'm not sure what can be done about this but I sure hope that they find the bastards how did this!!
Did anyone see it?
Anyways we had a great day in our "sercert spot" (no one fishing near us) and lost a huge springs on 14lb main line. Stripped my reel bare.

Cheers,

This may have been from the "camp site" cleanup that just took place.  I know that the City of Chilliwack has sent a crew there to aid in the cleanup today.  I heard that included old batteries and other harmful substances.  The pictures that were posted were unbelievable.

Don't waste your time on the Vedder now, it's blown.  So is the Chehalis.  We were scheduled to be in town for two more days, but after seeing the river rage, we left today.  Yesterday was a different day; 3 of us caught and landed 10 springs, 12 coho and 9 chum.

it depends if the rain keeps on cummin or slows down. its majorly blown. if the rain slows down, probably 3-5 days for normal conditions.

Thanks Fishforever.  We put in alot of hours the past couple days covering litterally most of the river.  Not to mention that the larger fishing party of ours (8-total people) were in other places scouting. Being connected with radios so we knew where they were as well as throwing in a little luck with the skill and knowledge and anything is possible.

Coho are funny. You can go a week with no fish then 10 in an hour ??? Timing and conditions are key.

I can't see where this is going or why it was brought up in the first place... ::)

FishFreak, what outcome are you expecting from this discussion? You say bentrod et al didn't catch 12 coho, he said he did, you said you don't believe him, he said he did.... Are you actually expecting him to say that he didn't and it was just made up? Is that when satisfaction is met?

It's a fishing report, it's not the Bible. ::) Believe it or not, it's up to you, why even bother to get yourself into this kind of "debate"?

Good for bentrod if he and his friends got into 12 coho, I have only been able to find one or two during each trip and not landing a single thing. If he and his friends didn't, big deal, how does that affect my fishing ability? Not a whole lot.
