A one day catch and kill derby is NOT an indication of fish numbers
Early run steelhead is becoming non existent on the Vedder.

Needless to say the road are very icy here in the Valley and the wind is blowing pretty good too.

Low and clear and cold. No sign of fish for us today. Things should pick up again after the next few days of rain and warmer weather

Took a nice walk along the Vedder this afternoon with only my camera in hand. Thought of all the steelhead I had caught over the years around the Lickman area. The Friday Hole, The Kozak, Gwyn's, The Shoe, Red Toque, Beako - Begone and many more. Oh  the visibility was  about 18  to 20 inches. Snow melt in progress too..

Water was in poor shape in the Lower today and will get worse with all the rain and snow melt ahead.

Okay guys. I was out today and the water was cloudy green with a 1 ft to 1 ft and a half visibility in the lower. Didn’t see anyone with a fish or hear of any caught. It was a gong show at the slab as everyone flocked there to fish above the clay bank spill at Ranger. Why would anyone want to fish with a huge crowd of people? Not me so I did not fish there and kept driving to more secluded spots. River was starting to clear as the afternoon went on where I was. With the new spill who know what will happen in the next few days.

In the past with the other slides every time it rained the river was not good.

Many of you may not have seen this video I produced of the Slesse slide that happened 23 years ago almost to the same date as this one. It was January 27, 1997 when it came down and silted up the river for a long time. Many other clay slides became a problem too over the years. https://youtu.be/su0bEzHvi4o
