I actually just started fishing it this year, so i am looking forward to going salmon fishing there this season for the first time. I hear a lot about the great salmon run, and all the crowds...

Decent day on the Vedder today, water still pretty dirty. Went up with my dad and we landed 3 for 4 between us. Got a picture of my dads larger fish, near 13lbs, and my hen, about 7 or 8. Check it out

56 steelhead this season now. Got these two and lost two more today on the vedder. Small fish, like 5 and 7 pounders.

This hen was fatter and had thicker skeins. Do the math, use your brains. Play in the sun, but fish during the rains. Don't row your boat so close to the bankies, understand fishing bionic_one and hate the New York Yankees.

Yeah my middle finger as well lol luckily from the fish thrashing around for about a minute before I stopped it the hole was big enough for the hook to pop back out.. Idk if I would call that luck but atleast I didn't have to use pliers !!:safe:

I sent Jens a PM, I truly thought notellum was a river so jokes on me a bit, I wasn't trying to have hens or anyone give up their secret spot or river I just read past the sarcasm, my apology to all- ingi
