Title: Vedder advice
Post by: Funeral Of Hearts on September 19, 2007, 11:10:28 AM

Ok so me and a couple friends will be heading out to Chilliwack this weekend.
We have never fished the vedder river before so we thoght we'd give it a go.
My experiences in fishing are mostly lake fishing, and the things my dad has taught me over the years. However, being from England, things are a little different over here sometimes.

So my question is, what are the methods people use on the vedder? I have been looking things up online and came up with bottom bouncing? Fly fishing? Drift fishing with a float? and lures?
I have also been trying to ake sense of the regulations. we will probably be going somewhere around Peach road, or Lickman road (or in that general area).  So right now you might get coho in there right? and a limit of 4 hatchery? and a limit of 4 pinks?  (or 4 pacific salmon in total)
Is there a bait ban?
And is there anything else i should know? I hate not knowing the rules.

Thanks.

Great job on the Rodney. That has probable got the best advice and with the diagrams they can not go wrong.

Thanks... that'll get me started.
Is the float/drift method what most people use?
And i didn't see anything about bait?
Do you use roe? or is there a bait ban?

You're free to use bait in the Vedder

The float/drift method is indeed what is preferred by most anglers on this system, but you should not forget the spoons and spinners either. I've seen plenty of coho salmon caught on spoons when roe failed. There isn't a bait ban as FA said, so you can use roe, roe sacs, shrimp, etc. Procured red roe is best, or you can tie them into sacs to increase lifespan of roe in water. Some people also prefer to soak the wool in roe juice and simply fish with that, apparently it is just as effective.
