Does anyone know if pinks have started moving into the Vedder yet?
I am thinking I would like to take my nephew there with a floating setup.

stop thinking about it and go.

All I am asking is if there are pinks in there yet. Is that too much?

I'm sure there is a pink or 4 in there.

don't take it wrong, i think we just point out the truth is i fish are everywhere in rivers now, some move early and some later, you never know, every day is different
I went to fraser river 3 days ago in richmond and got 4 pinks in like 2 hours, i was so sure there were tons of them there until 2 days ago and yesterday i went from 10am - 7pm , not even a bite
best way is always to keep going!
-
those who ask you to go want you go fish, have fun, and maybe catch them.
there are already some pinks there.

Thanks much frozensalmon. What you are pointing out was pretty much what I have experienced myself - to be honest I should have known better than to ask a question like this.
-
Was fishing the Vedder mouth last night. - Lots of fish staging for cooler weather, or night fall to push through.
Not many fish spotted above Keith Wilson

Valid question - and valid responses. I tried a few holes at sundown over the last 2 days with no results. If you're looking for a sure fire day try again in a few weeks - and check out http://www-ops2.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fos2_Internet/Testfish/rptdtfdparm.cfm?fsub_id=242. (http://www-ops2.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fos2_Internet/Testfish/rptdtfdparm.cfm?fsub_id=242.) to get an idea of numbers (takes a couple of days to get to the Wack from Langley). I'd say end of September might be better.

I saw a few in the canal below #1 bridge. I was not fishing, but just stopped for a look. Nobody was fishing, so its the calm before the storm.
-
Thanks much all of you. I had a suspicion it might be a little early yet but wasn't sure.
I think I will wait a little while.
-
Gave it a look today. Very little happening from what I saw. Give it a couple of weeks, and it should be good. ;)
-
how is it that noone is seeing or catching the odd spring ? few years back i was nailing springs from the last few days of August straight through September and all fish were chrome bullets ;D I was using roe of course because early fish love it !!
-
No fish don't go, just people trying to snag the odd pink by sight, sick.
-
was there today...very quiet, covered alot of water from top to bottom and managed 1 fish between 2 of us. Didnt see very many fish around, none at the kieth wilson a few at tamahi...and i do mean a few. fished from the canal to just below alison. I wasnt suprised to see that the river has changed again, but wow...some areas the water has moved significantly.

Hook
You are right about catching chinook jacks a few years ago in late August and early Sept Since then the Chilliwack Hatchery has been cutting production of both chinook and coho. This will have a huge impact on the number of returning adults and jacks. It's a numbers game and we are on the losing side of the equation. :( :(
-
I wasnt referring to chinook jacks, I was catching all adults and in the same area each time out (2-3times a week) my biggest of the trip was a 40lb female that i gently released to fight another day as i has already taken an 20lber ;D I was out from daylight until noon each outing and fishing got alot slower after 10-1030am when the sun hit the pool. I think i actually only hit 3 jacks and took only 1 of them because it was a red.....YUM
HOOK - Wished he had time to get out there right now and see if he can get a chromer on the two hander
-
saw some moving into the canal, give it a go.
-
Caught 12 pinks in 2'1/2 hours so the answers yes there in the vedder and watched proably 300 fish rise

wow talk about a different day same spot same time caught nothing and only seen about 20 risers
-
Lots of them shooting through at the crossing in very shallow water yesterday morning but not real eager to bite. Caught a couple.
Went further down river later on and caught a few more. You had to work for them.
-
Had a great day on Wed. as well. Released over a dozen pinks ,lost many, and lost a small coho about 3-4 lbs. right at my feet. Caught all my fish in waist deep or better water. Lots of pinks in the shallow water cruising by, but i could only get them to hit the fly in deeper areas. All on a pink rolled muddler.
-
I saw a bunch snaged in the canal.
-
We were at the vedder yesterday, the water is quite clear throughout so you have to work hard to entice bites, I found it was a quick change in what you are throwing at them that would spark a bite or two, but after a dozen casts they became spooked. A LOT of people fishing like bozo's out there as well. Several people...just a weight and a hook.
-
I was there yesterday also fly fishing. I hooked most of the fist at almost the end of my swing or during my retrieve. A lot moving close in, but not interested in taking the fly. Handle bar seemed to work OK for me.
-
tons of fish yesterday (Sunday), and tons of snaggers. wow. it was like peg leg out there....put in some leg work found some nice runs just for me and buddy and we got into so many fish. It was a great day!
-
ya, tonnes o pinks... Some are alright, but I didn't leave with any... Landed 14 in about 2 hours... Lots of willing fish, but also snaggers... You can only reeducate so many of them... bi will bring my fly rod next time.
-
i love it when the snaggers ask me "what're you using?" my only response is always "does it really matter?"

makes you sound like a snagger aswell.
I explain the jig thing for chums 50 times a year. If I convert 1, I did my job.

no no -- i am meaning, whatever i am using would not make a difference to someone whom is just snagging away anyhow. the right bait, fished wrong will not change results. in my opinion
