Lots of fish in the system Fished for about 4hours with the fly with a tungston bead ( because the water was low took off my lead leader no bites) The float guy next to me was catching all sorts . put on 8' lead because I could see that the fly was still not getting down . Put on 8' lead leader first cast fish (lost it ) few cast later another fish . proves to me that you must get that fly down. caught three springs few dogs a very nice wild coho and lost some coho and had to break my line with quite a few large fish ( my last one was a silver 25lb spring which I released ) Most fly's were good muddler for coho and wooly buggers but the main thing is getting the fly down. Float guy next to me must have caught about 20 to 30 fish and took home a nice 12lb coho

I am a newbie. I have been lurking the site for a couple weeks and learned lots.
I was out Friday aswell, floating and killing Springs. Got 6 to shore and must have lost 13. All between 10 to 25lbs. Did'nt see a single Coho cought !! where are you guys finding these tasty critters ?? I am new to the Vedder and river fishing. I have only been able to catch Springs, any help would be apreciated.
Cheers Mike
P.S. I am heading back out Monday AM if any one wants to come.

I have spent years on the water but all in Ontario lakes Bass and Walleye fishing. This is sooooo much different and I am totally enjoying it. their is just so much you can learn from reading. I am totally green at river fishing and want to learn as much as possible. Obviousily it takes years to gain the amount of knowledge that some people on this board have. I am just hoping to get some pointers along the way to lead me in the right direction. So far I have fished the very upper and lower portins of the river and have come up Spring. I have tried wool spoons and roe just can't seem to find a Coho is itstill to early or am I not in the right place maybe ?? Springs are a ton of fun to catch though !!also, try searching out the water that you haven't been fishing....meaning, you've been catching springs....and more often than not the coho will seek out holding water away from the springs.... This may be hard to find at first, but try fishing any and all "back eddies" with enough volume to them to hold 1 or two fish....The smaller back eddies will tend to be more productive than the larger ones, as larger back eddies will also hold springs and chum....try suspending a blade on a short float and short leader in the center of any back eddies you can find....if the coho are in there and you do it right, they will just come right out and swat it hard....sounds like you're doing just fine though so far, it's just a matter of time now....
hope that helps,

Thanks for the tips tried some smaller pools around where I got all the Springs on Friday. Lost 2 that I never saw and landed 1 Jack Spring. Then I got bored and went and played with more Spring 6 Landed 2 over 25lbs. and probably lost 15. I did see a guy upstream from me land a nice Wild Coho and another Gent landed a fine looking hatchery Coho.
