Chilliwack Oct 22, 2008 fishing report.
Well I headed out to the Chilliwack River in the morning and went to the designated spot which has been relatively barren all year which has made sense, very few fish have been pulled from this hole compared to last year. I saw that the tail was open and quickly took my spot and hucked some juicy roe into the run. Nothing much for awhile and the sun was mid sky so I decided to throw on a blade. Still not much so I grabbed the father-in-law and ate some grub.
Afterwards I checked out a run just upstream and good thing I did. I casted in first cast which is when I usually am just checking depth and I saw my float go down and like a dumbass I just gave it a little tug to see if it was the ground and huge headshake so I quickly gave a proper hook set and I was on, I couldn't make out what it was but it was smaller and it was rolling, don't be a chum, don't be a jack spring please. Then it broke water and YES it was a coho so I played it safe and didn't get overly energetic as I have lost 4 this year by being an idiot. After a few short burst and plenty of rolling I brought in this beauty hatchery doe.

Beauty fish (and I agree, nice setup too!)... Great to see someone is getting some coho action out there, as I'm taking a Kiwi friend salmon fishing for the first time this weekend and am really hoping he hooks into a fish or two.
Cheers!
