I hit the Vedder on Th & Fri, and got skunked on the socks and chinooks, inspite of several jumpers and surfacing activity. I used everything from red/pink salmon/steelie flies, to even fry imitations. But I did tag into several nice trout, especially on the minnow patterns. Wow, I had no idea that the Vedder had nice-fighting and sizeable trout. My 8 wt. was overkill on those critters, should have brought my 4 wt. instead.
I even tried dead drifting with my sink tip with split shots, and still nada. But I have to try that black leech pattern that someone mentioned on here. Thanks!
