Jayhad Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 theres much more to come... if i told you guys the 4 of us caught over 3 metric tonnes of fish i don't think it would be a lie. There aren't as many pics of me as I would like.... but I love to see others with that "fish" eating grin. I was snapping so many pics I took over 500 on this day alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhad Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 we hooked our coho on blue/silver and green/silver christmas trees, sorry I have no pics of those I was out of batteries. We found the coho mainly lying on the confluences of side channels meeting the main flow of the river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhad Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 this dirty little hole my buddy Jeff pulled 4 coho out of on thursday hidden boat, don't want those guides seeing where we were. My bro gearing up for the hike out. On thursday my buddy Jeff saw 3 bears in this stretch, I wasn't so lucky. Maybe I will see some on tuesday when i fish the upper chehalis canyon getting late in the night, it was a long dawn to dusk day. You can see I have a rod in my hand, this was one of our double headers... the fish I landed was just over 6' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhad Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hey guys just got in from the Chilliwack river. No real epic shots today as it was raining in a way I haven't seen in eons, and my DSLR isn't water proof. it fogged up pretty bad after a few pics and still hasn't returned to "clear" yet. I dont think I will be able to fish tomorrow as the Chilliwack was on it's way to blowing out, I watched it rise almost a metre in the last 2 hours alone. there was so much debris coming down river, I had several great hookups of leaves and branches... they don't fight so well after the intial snag. I hooked up several chum.... we all did. I landed a coho on a green and silver christmas tree and I landed a nice 16" rainbow on a peach glo bug. My bro aslo landed a nice little bow. I also saw 3 springs landed but they don't seem to be in the system at the #s they should be right now. I was really hoping to fly fish today but being on the chilliwack there wasn't much room and I got a lot of dirty looks and bad comments so I was really forced to get out my drift rod. I was hoping to get into the vedder canal where the high water will bring in a lot more coho and there is tonnes of room to flyfish..... but my wife won that arguement, something about leaving her at my parents house for a few days while I fish from sun up to sun down. I was hoping to fish the chehalis 1 more time but with this rain not letting up the chehalis blows out quick and no point wasting time on a unfishable water when I could hang out with family...I guess. Today I fished from right below the limits hole and walked/waded down to where I could see the Kywak gates at Tamahi. So I will drop a few pics once my camera clears up. 1 note I did break off a clouser and a christmas tree in the bend of the hooks on fish and I was only using 10lb tippet, strange but next time I will tie them myself and probably use gamagatsu drift hooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhad Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I must find a way to move to BC. personally I find the waters in alberta more relaxing and enjoyable, you have no idea how much pressure these water get and garbage every where shows, I could have easily filled several garbage bags in the few K's i walked. I was picking up line but soon stopped as I realized it was an excerise in futility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
