Like he said. Everytime I'm in that shop I always get the report that fishing is good.

Just got back from at look at the Vedder River and the visibility has improved from yesterday but is not to my liking one bit as the visbility is about 6 inchs when I checked it around 12:30 today near the Lickman Road parking lot.

As welll still very high and the fishing spots will be limited in my mind at this time. I noticed the river looks as it is starting to drop a tad.This is caused as the freezing level has dropped a bit and I can now see fresh snow once again on the mountain tops. Also the rain has stopped which is good news, if it would only hold off for a day or so we may be able to get out there in a couple of days.

Was nice to meet Jeremy and family at Tim Hortons this morning. Keep that boy of yours fishing Jer.. ;D ;D

Just heard that the upper is in fishable  shape although I have not been up there to confirm that.

Maybe someone else can confirm this as I donot have time to slip up there with the Toronto game on shortly. ;D ;D

The upper river was fishable.  Visibility got better as the day went on and not many people.
 No rain which was nice. 
Haven't hooked up yet, but will keep trying.

I think Chris should set up a website for the sole purpose of the "Vedder Report".  With a small fee to the user, eh Chris ::)  ;)

i'll say this...after seeing it yesterday i started looking in a few catalogs for floation devices..I think i'm gonna have to break down and get one....current is ripping enough and i'm dumb enough to want to stand in it and fish...one has to give, better safe then sorry!!!

Well now, we have been getting heavy rain again for the last while. Hard to guess what it will be like tomorrow especially in the upper. I was surprised it came around so quickly as was reported there this afternoon as Slesse Creek was the one that had been dumping a lot of colour into the system.

It is keeping one guessing all the time.

Chehalis may be a better bet at this water level and clarity.

Just checked it at Lickman and it looks good enough to give it a try so I may slip out later. I fish only the Lower in most cases. I hear the dirty water is coming in from the native land just above the Crosssing hence the upper is in good shape. Did not think it would have cleared so quickly.

I thought this too, so I took a trip to Chehalis. Slow day, only one Hatch Steelhead that I heard about. Water WAS nice and clear though.
