rhuseby Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Looks like the Vedder near Chilliwack, and, sad but true, that's were my girlfriend lives, and where I'll probably retire. I think I'll be doing some driving to the fishing instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danhunt Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Sadly, the "Meat Hole" on the Vedder is worse than that. I was fishing the river about three years ago and we drove up to watch the circus before we left. One of the funniest things I saw was a gentleman fishing with a rod that was about 5' long with a little close faced push button spinning reel on it. He had managed to hook what looked to be about a 25lb chinook, and he had that little rod doubled over trying to move that fish. The chinook was sitting about 10' directly in front of the fisherman not showing any signs of concern and not moving one inch. I wish I could have stayed to see that rig explode when the fish had enough fooling around and decided to make a run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownstone Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Ah...Salmon...find one ya find 'em all..grew up fishing similar crowds back east, some places so bad, fisherman would have to cast in unison as not to cross lines..we call one pool.. 1-2-3 cast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfreak Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Combat fishing... only fun if it's with your friends in the same hole. Does anyone else enjoy fishing shoulder to shoulder with their buddies casting for the same fish? I find that a hoot. I wonder what they would do if a fleet of tubers floated right through their run? haha. This is another reminder for us to be thankful that our "crowded" waters are really not that crowded.

Makes me thankful for all the water we have here which is far more comfortable. Mind you, there is plenty of water in BC which is not as crazy as the Fraser or the Vedder during the returns. I actually have heard that parts of the Fraser get closed because of the fights that break out amongst anglers looking to floss their way to a full freezer, it's totally antithetical to why I fish, I would just keep on walking. -al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 as i read in a magazine (paraphrasing) I fish to get to places which are invariably beautiful, and to get away from people, who are invariably ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sundancefisher Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I saw it even worse on the Skeena a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
