The river is in amazing shape. :thumbup: from the slab to the train bridge, the water clarity is perfect. It was really cold in chilliwack last night and this morning. I managed to fish Sunday Monday and today :happy:. Sunday i hooked and lost a nice Hatchery Doe, :wallbash: yesterday i managed to hook into three steel first a wild then 2 hatchery's, i bonked the last fish as the weather started to get real nasty, and today a brief couple of headshaked and that was it. Seen 2 nice fish paired up in some shallow water as well @ the upper jail area. To bad my vacation time is over and iam back to work tomorrow. When i get a chance i will have the pictures up on the web!! :thumbup:

Today the water conditions were the best I have seen in years, perfect colour and height and where I was very little pressure from other anglers. :thumbup: At one point in the day I forgot I was on the Vedder and thought I was in steelhead heaven. ;D Tonight I dug out my old fishing journals to look back in the past and compare too today's outing. This outing cracks my top five. See you in the morning. :cheers: sage

Re: Vedder Conditions January 14
Well i was out Tuesday
Water was in great condition quite low which was good as i could get into some new runs crossing the river here and there
I hit a popular spot first
no one else there
fished it well with shrimp, pink worm, wool etc
nothing
moved around quite a bit but nothing for me
One guy told me he had just lost a nice one on a pink worm
and another guy lost one and he seen a 8lb hatch released
Man it was quiet out
just how i like it :thumbup:
New rod worked well but my guides kept freezing up till the sun came out 8)

Re: Vedder Conditions January 14
dont worry about the freezing eyes Brit cause they get even worse when you start tossing a fly. sometimes making it very hard to cast or retrieve for that matter. not to mention it gets especially annoying with a pin cause you cant cast until you break it free. the freezing never bothered me with my levelwind.
