Im Going to the vedder river next week one thursday,im just wondering what the will be in there,and what there biting on,any help would be great thanks.

I'd think by now they'd all be pretty red, but as for them bitting, roe or black wool witha hint of red short floated.

I would just leave the Vedder alone for another 3 weeks or so, and then head out for some early coho. The reds will all be red. Really red. They got this far, just let them do their thing. Any one that you may catch in that condition is pretty much dead after the fight, and that is just a shame and a waste. :wink:

In my experience fishing is slow right now. That being said, the occasional bright fish is taken in August. While camping on the river a couple years ago toward the end of August, we went fishing one evening for a couple hours before dark. My buddy landed a 12 pound chrome marble flesh spring on roe, I caught two small rainbows and about a 2 lb dolly varden on the fly rod, epoxy minnow pattern.

all i know about the rod is that it is a 8-foot 7 pound fly rod,make by Redwolf and it is a 2 peice,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so i geuss insteady of waders just wear shorts.

redwolf-I think you mean the rod is an 8 foot 7 weight rod. This is a designation adopted by the AFTMA (American Fly Tackle Manufacturers Association ?) to describe the strength of the fly gear in relation to other set-ups. A 7 wt. can be used to land springs, but it usually takes quite a lengthy battle to do so, and that really isn't in the best interests of any fish you are going to catch and release. It is a fine weight rod for almost anything else you might encounter tho'.
