Hi All.
I ventured to the Vedder on the weekend. We started our morning at our honey hole. Its a gret spot where there is only enough room for two maybe three guys. My buddy got his first one at first light, a small doe in the deep water. About 45 min. later he landed a gorgeous 10-12 pound chrome doe in the fast water. After that we made our way up to the cedars. There was a bunch of kids camping their and screwing around, so we decided to go and play with the population down at Lickman’s and above, man was it windy and cold on the bottom section. I threw out a few cast but the wind and and the chill did not make it enjoyable. Althouogh I did see a few steelies getting pulled, seems as though most of the action is around 9 am to 11am. Which was just about the time when I got in to a monster. But of course I beaked it off before I could land it.
Anyways, it was a good day just to be out. The questions I would like to know is if those pesky elusive steelies prefer one type of roe over another? I know its all about presentation and from my experiance as a guide up in Rivers Inlet I know every day is difffernet and you have to pick the right combination. But Im curious and would like to get a senses from most of you if they prefer chum roe over coho roe or another? I have been using Puss sacks with Chum roe and haven't found much success comapred to my frozen coho roe. I have been seeing more caught on just frozen roe and would like to know if anyone has had more success with the types of bait.
See you all at the fish out.
