Iv been out to the Vedder 3-4 times, trying to catch my first steelhead. But havent been able to do so yet. But yesterday some friends asked me if i wanted to do a fishing clinic at freds tackle, so i decided id try it. Id heard the instructure Peter Macpherson was one of the top fishers on the Vedder R, from my buddy. I was just woundering if any of you know if hes as good as im told and hopefully with his help and my luck i can get one.

I've heard good things, but I have no personal knowledge. As for the first Steely, get in line theres a lot of guy's ahead of you ;D But not me ;D I got mine about 20 years ago on the Coquitlam. They're tons 'o fun.
-
He's tops, in my opiniion. Go for it !
-
I personally know Peter and he's a great guy. Down to earth and knowledgeable.
-
Took the clinic with pete last year, and ended up with seven steelies during the season on my own, well worth it.
-
Pete is top notch. He looks after the details and will give you a lot of information and practical experience that can cut a lot of time off the learning curve. As far as your first steelhead, get in line. I practically live on the river and have only one huge wild one this year to date. You have to put in your time !
-
Ok thanks, and hopefully i will get one.

How can he show you a hot spot when the river is constantly changing?

Gotcha

Pete is a great guy and really friendly, also my mentor during my young steelheading days. He is worth your every penny.
-
Thats pretty crazy, to know where they are and to score 1 everyday.
i hope hes good enough to help me get my first.
does he fish the tamahi boulders or the slower lower river?

I'll be on the flow tomorrow for trip #2 and hopefully pull on some chrome. Look for the camo vest, STH hat. ;)

Don't know the guy, but sounds great. My first experiences were very similar, watched and listened and tried and tried! Bam finally hooked one and then ended up with 5 my first season. Beginners luck though as it has tailed off the last two but unfortunately I dont get the opps that you guys do but soon I promise myself. Lots of great guys willing to share their ideas and some even tell the truth!! Hey guys what do u think is the average amount of trips for one steelie! I know, I know some of you guys get one every trip! But reallly they do call them the fish of a thousand casts.
