Hi all, Im looking at going out this week most likely Tuesday. We are thinking of going to the vedder. Is it realistic for us to think there will be Coho in there? Or will it most likely be slow fishing. We are gear fishers. What should we be useing? Wool? if so what colors work best this time of year? Red, Pink, Green? Is the whole system produceing or should we stay close to the lower end.


I perfer the upper, but not too sure if it will be active. I have only ever fished the Vedder for Steelies so not really sure where to begin

Thanks in advance guys, and gals :lol:

There are coho spread through out the entire Vedder system now. It all depends where you liek to fish. The lower end or the top. The catch being is, the water level is so low and clear, that it hasn't been easy trying to get a "fair" :lol: hookup. I wouldn't say the fishing will be slow. There's still lots of willing chum and big springs to keep you busy. As jokikass stated roe, and various colors of wool have been producing for drift fishers.

Finder :wink:

Here is my 6th coho this year caught this one this morning on the middle Vedder, I was chucking fresh procured white spring roe and this thing hammered it

Blades were working this morning size 2 and 4 Nickle plated smooth finish, but i mainly stick to roe , also hooked a bunch of springs

See less See more
nice fish, fishfreak...you're slaying em... :D
one more question..... I can only keep hatchery fish right? Whats the limit? 2?

4 hatchery coho per day , or any combo of salmon to make up 4 possesion limit, springs 10 per license year one over 62cm 3 under on the vedder, 1 chum per day i think it is, all wild coho must be released
i need 1 coho, not 4! Still dont have one for the whole year! Any one wanna show me a spot, so i can hook one of those little buggers! I have to many chums and to many springs, and not enough coho! :cry:
