How long will the winter steel be running the vedder??? I was really planning to hit it hard this season.. Then i broke my ankle while in ontario for christmas!!! Now i'm on crutches for 8 weeks which means no fishing until march.. whats happening then??

the run pretty much peaks then as most of them will be in the system.. there will be coloured fish from early on and fresh ones so the chances of hooking up are better.

As "the King" stated that will put you right on line for prime time.

The river will fish well untill the day it closes for steel fishing (April 30 for all intensive purposes) There is a May fly only opening below Vedder Crossing as well if that interests you.

In april there are many dark fish holding in the upper river but also fresh fish moving into the lower so I usually stay down river after mid april. Less fish around but they are better quality. I like to leave the darker fis in the upper river alone whenever possible.

Great thats encouraging.. I was worried that i was S.O.L. I will be mainly using the fly rod so the lower is were i'll be, thanks for the replies! In the meantime i'm going to learn how to tie my own flies up and get 'em ready for march! cheers!
