Hi people, sorry but i think the Vedder Conditions post by flyguy (i think) has drifted.

I plan on going fishing on the vedder tommorow~ but it's raining like hell at the moment...

Anyone know a good spring hole that i might try out? or is it not worth going cuz of the massive rainfall...

i hear visibility is poor~

Does anyone recommend the Stave or Chehalis? (i have never been to either, but i do live in abbotsford so not too far a drive).


Some info for the noob plz ^^

raining heavy in the wack i think its a right off for a couple of days,i was at the chehalis on sunday and it was low and clear with only a few spawning pinks kicking around,but with this rian the chehalis should be up and with the riseing water a few coho should have come in ,Good luck.

Was out there on Oct 1st. A couple of guys I talked to said it was up about 2 feet since Saturday, probably more now since the rain last night.
There is some sort of work going on at the campground as lots of muddy trucks were coming and going up and down the road into there.
Below was maybe around 18 inch visibility and above was clear.
Lots of people out there. Lots of action.

We fished the lower canal and the Tamalhi (sorry for the spelling) bridge today and both were very murky with maybe 6" of visibility. Basically lousy!
