Title: Any spots on the vedder where you can bar rig with roe for a newbie.
Post by: redtide on September 15, 2013, 07:33:46 PM: want to take a wannabe fisherman to the vedder to introduce him to river fishing. Still cant cast properly but has passion and will to learn. would like to show him an area where he can at least hookup with a salmon. i was thinking an area of the river that he can use a bar rig and wait for a bite. Your inputs would be appreciated. thanks.

Give him a fly rod and some waders.

Growing up my grandfather and I bar fished the canal with great success. Not only for salmon but for steelhead as well.

X2. This is what the old timers did long before drift fishing became popular. My Dad was one of them.

Even though you have first come first serve rule for the river jerk drift fisherman really become rude when bar fishing. Just a warning.

I have landed 3 springs and lost 4 springs, caught too many male pink and also have hit coho and a chum on the bar rig this season in the vedder.

Use a chrome body with a orange or green top. they are just awesome.

Still an old timer or two there, you'll see them set up just below KWB.
