Well I was actually looking forward to this year of fishing the Vedder, But seems like its one problem after another.
Finishing up school and getting a Drivers license I though Id be fishing alot more and having a great season, this was not the case. In previous seasons ( last 2 years) I was able to get into good numbers of fish without really knowing too much of what I was doing. This year with the water so low the fish seemed to stack up in certain spots along the river, and with less water meant less spots for fish to spread out and so more fishermen were packing into all the good spots ( this is what I noticed). This crowding pushed me into finding new water and even though I could never find water to myself I did have a couple days of 20 plus fish, and days of zero. Horrible year I thought, since I know there are fish in there, but just weren't biting under the low/clear water conditions. I was disappointed to hear everyone complain about the low returns of coho, but I was lucky enough to get into and land 3 at the beginning of september. I was pretty depressed on how this season went that I started to focus my attention to the steelhead season and convince myself it would make up for the poor salmon season. But like we all know that little water we prayed for that would hopefully bring brighter days of salmon fishing turned out to be 4 meters too much rain
, and ultimately ended the season. After a couple weeks of itching for the water levels to drop and clear up, I was left disappointed again and with Fwr reports of this continuous silt lasting for most or all of the season. I couldn't ask for any better fishing on my local river for this year
. Well I decided to write how I feel about this years fishing on the Vedder, although the start of this years turned out pretty good.
Is there anyone else who has seen this problem before that the vedder is going though, how does it rebound back to shape? Does Fish behavior change in this kind of water?
