Hit the Vedder today fish down from the railway bridge right down to the canal area
I hooked about eight fish but only landed two
This was the first steel on the fly for me
I think Bergler got a long distance photo of my fish
I hooked into one big hog
it took me to my backing twice
once heading up river towards a snag then i turned him
and he set off down river
but i could not hold him as he got into fast water
did get to see him though as he did a big leap out of the water
boy was it fun out there
Thanks to the guys there that let me in
I got a bit sun burnt too

Excellent! Way to go Britguy! BTW - now that it's time to renew licenses - has there been a change with the crowds?

 

[ambler]

There's nothin' like it is there?

 

[kaitlyn]

[fishortho]

Nice goin' buddy!!........Oh I can't wait to get my first.......I'm still working at it tho'. Me thinks it will happen this spring................Sounds like a heck of a day!!.....Ortho

Awesome!!! Way to go Britguy, too bad you didn't get a pic eh? nicely done

 

[Britguy]

Yeh big change with the crowds 8)
there was no one fishing the railway bridge and i didnt see anyone till i got to the canal area
lots of guys by the canal bridge :shock:
too many for my liking :?
keep at it fishortho it will hapen
sorry i couldnt get a pic ribwart but no one was near enough to get my camera
first one was about 15lb and second one landed about 17+ the one that striped my line well we can all guess big but i could not get his head up except when he jumped and he looked big :shock:
I picked up some good tips watching the guys arround me and a good fly tip from Bergler

 

[Britguy]

[coho_killer]

sounds like the hogs are still moving into the river if there being cought in the lower from the train bridge? are they all kelts or nice chrome?

 

[steeliesrking]

Nice work, britguy. Hoping to get my first on the fly in the next couple of weeks.

 

[sberg]

wheres the best location

I am going up to the vedder tomorrow and i have heard that the lower river is best right now

Where abouts is a good place to go

[professori]

You're right, the lower is hot now. Check out all the spots, you're likely to find fish throughout.

Keith wilson bridge

which side of the keith wilson brige is best
I've never been to the vedder before

 

[Rib]

What i would do there sberg is stand on the bridge and look down into the water on either side, you should be able to see a large number of fish and will then know precisely where they are holding....I can't tell you which side as I haven't fished down there in many years, but I have heard you can see them from above....
hope that helps,
rib

You're right, the lower is hot now.

All parts of the river hold fish right now and other times too. Explore, explore! Please don't sit in one hole and wait for the fish to come to you. This is not salmon season.

Thanks guys
