Fished today and the water is crystal clear and low.There is the odd chum in the
river but they are all but gone. Lots of colored coho,ranging from crimson sided
to boot black and thankfully some clean coho and clean jacks. Mainly in the
smaller pools and holding water near the tree lined shores. Yes long, light
leaders are the norm and I landed fish on small row bags, single jensen eggs and
small pink/peach wool ties. Apart from some nice weather, nice fish and bearable
crowds, some people insist on killing fish well past their prime. When is it
enough guys.

Started in Canyon first light yesterday at the Chehalis. Hit some darkees and
lost a bullet chrome 5lb. ho. Lots of people in the Canyon. Went down by the
hatchery and beached a nice 10lb. doe ho. Absolutley no chum in the river. Hit
some more darkees then moved to norrish. Water on the Chehalis was up a bit and
tea coloured. Norrish was rising. Hit a couple of jacks on a sliver of pink
wool. Hit two nice cutts around 12inches. From what I saw today thingsa re
starting to wind down in terms of ho fishing. Oh well tired of them anyway,

Road in Richmond, using roe. People are still catching Pacific Tomcod near the
River Mouth. These are best to be caught by worms, squid, fish flesh. NOTE: 8
fish per day! Squamish River was doing not bad in mid week, some fresh chums
were caught, and the odd large silver cohos were sighted. No retention for cohos
though. Anyway, good luck all.

Wow! went with geoff on sat, lot's of coho caught on peach wool. We were sight
fishing the coho so managed to avoid the chum's.. most of the time. The water is
clear so we had to really keep low not to spook them. Some european's showed up
and began casting with big hunk's of pencil lead under thier float's, big
splashes every cast. Totally freaked out the coho in that pool. Guy's if you're
reading this, you don't need lot's of weight in slow moving pool's. And you'll

Oh, I beg to differ with you there Billy Baitchucker. I have fished the Chehalis
5 times in the last 2 weeks with my fly rod using various minnow patterns and I
have had quite good success. The trick is locating the fish first, then proper
presentation. Slow water works best with minnow patterns. So, NO roe is not the
only way to catch these fish. Before y'all go out slaying salmon for their
embryo's, give the alternatives a try, and save a few fetuses in the
process.....After all this is supposed to be sport fishing isn't it!

well guys ive been fishing the Chehalis for sevrel weeks now and have yet to get
skunked I have never in my life caught so many fish. It has been a hey day out
there. Water is medium height and colour is tea. If you want to catch these
crome bullets you have to use roe. I have tried all kinds of colours and double
red has been the ticket for me. The roe must be loose or not to hard as these
fish will hit it very soft and fast and then off they go. I have been told that
dog roe is best but I have been using coho and white spring roe. Eveyone is
right though the amount of coho is down now and are starting to colour up. The
dogs are getting plentiful. Good luck out there all. This year will go into my
all time record books.............

Fished the Stave River between 7am til 12pm today. Most of the chums are very
old now. The Inch Creek Hatchery were out doing coho capturing, only around 4
cohos were caught. Even though most of the fish are old, there are still quite a
few fresh fish right now! I fished with both float and spoons. Most of the fish
I caught on the float in the fast water were actually old fish. However, when
fished with a croc spoon (3/8 ounce, green), I hooked several very fresh fish.
One female I kept was almost silver, covered with sealice. There were no one
fishing today, I practically had the river to myself, then people started to
show up around 10pm. River is very low, especially during low tide.

no fish were sighted, saw three seals swimming around. Then moved further down
the Squamish River for some sightseeing and did see some chums jumping there.
After the moved onto the Cheakamus River, lots of chums were caught, however,
all were very very old, not worth targeting if you are planning to keep clean
fish. Water was very low, good clarity. Should go up slightly after tonight's

I was a little surprised at what happened on Boxing Day. Thirteen weighed in,
the largest 15.9 lbs. Fish were hooked up and down the river. Lots of wild
steelies hooked and released or lost. My buddy was into 6 fish in the upper
river!!!! (landed two wild, lost the others). I was lower down and hooked and
landed a 14 lb wild. Saw three other wild hooked and released and one hatchery
taken, all out of one run! Heard of fish caught at Peach, Lickman, behind
On-the-way and at the Ranger and Picnic table runs. The fish are there but you
have to find 'em. I was surprised to see that one of the fish weighed in at the
derby was coloured and leaking milt. I mean really leaking. Surprised because I
thought they wouldn't be ready to spawn until April-May. Also heard of a 22 lb
hatchery fish weighed in at On-the-Way store this week. Some big fish out there.
Also lots of Dolly's showing up. Saw one school of three to four fish at the
Ranger run on Thursday, all Dolly's. Hooked two of them (4 and 6 lb). G'luck to
all! And have a great New Year Parteeeeee!

I fished the vedder on derby day and saw nothing down below.moved to mid river
and saw nothing there. Fished chehalis canyon today and landed 2 dark ho's, went
to campground and landed 6 ho's, 1 was fair. I see too much garbage in the
canyon boys! didn't your parents teach you right? Vests come with large pockets
for your coffee cups and empty roe containers and chip bags and...

Was fishing up in the Canyon on Saturday for steels and Hit two big Atlantics.
Thats right ATLANTICS. I saw three others up there. They were big and they
tasted great. They bite like crazy on BC goo bobs.

Still Plenty of Clean Coho to be had. I hit a fresh as a nickel winter run
steelhead on a hot pink cheater corky. Must have been an early oddball. Nice
fish, nice day, big smiles.

Haven't fished there in a while, but have heard from friends that many large
rainbows have been caught there recently ranging from 5-7 pounds along with many
fish in the 1.5-2 pound range! The 7 lb'er was caught in a boat in the middle of
the lake using a gang troll while many of the smaller fish are being caught from
shore using powereggs, spinners, or worms. Good luck to all of you! Merry
Christmas.

Fished Norrish Creek on Wednesday. Lot's and lots of Coho. About 30% of them are
still really clean and keepable. However, the water was really low and clear and
we could not entice any to bite. Neither could the other half dozen anglers we
saw. Lot's of dirty 'hos on the Chehalis. Water is really, really low and the
fish ar concentrating in thick schools. No keepers but had lots of fun. Lot's of
big, cherry-red northerns up to 15-18 lbs in there (where were they during the
early part of the season?) Went to the Vedder in the afternoon. Could wade
across the river at the Vedder crossing bridge it is that low. Went down to
Bergman and could spit across the river. Heard of only one steelie being hooked
in the last week (a 15 lb wild buck). Doesn't look too promising for Boxing Day
unless we get some rain and the predicted rainfall for this weekend has been
called off. Bummer!

steeler2000, I have heard reports of steelhead throughout the system, but
concentrated around the crossing. Granted these fish are still few in numbers,
they are there if you can find them. I, myself, haven't yet coaxed any to take a
fly.

Fished the Vedder on Tuesday. Water still quite low but has a fair amount of
colour to it. Caught a large ugly dog on the lower half and semi-crome coho
around the middle.(on a pink worm yet)It was around eight pounds and wild. This
river looks like it may have a long way to go before we'll see any steelhead.
Does anyone out there have the web sight address with the water level report for
the Vedder on it. Thanks way to go before

been up there on saturday morning, the worst weather condition I've experienced
this year. Only 5 people seen on the river. Saw some colored up coho, no sign of
steelhead, should have gone to the vedder instead.

Well, I haven't seen a Vedder reprt for a while, so here goes. I was there
yesterday morning, fished at Borden Creek, Tamihi, and Peach rd, and didn't get
a sniff. The water was pretty low, clear up at Borden, and about 3 ft of vis
down lower. Didn't see any one else have any better luck either.

Very cold and clear up here in gods country. We had to bar fish for STEELHEAD,
on this awesome sand bar. The fish were there as they feasted on the fresh coho
roe. We had on a couple, but setting the hook is a little tough with the 6oz
weight. I will be doing some extreme steelheading this weekend, with an expert
from the Kitimat area, and we will be trying these new beauty flies, cheers.

Went out on Saturday. Shipping lanes-point grey Lots of shakers. 1 good size
fish but lost it. Fair amount of bait around the 135 foot bottom contour. For
seals buy a sling shot. Cost $18. You won't hit any seals but a steel pellet
hitting the water within 5 feet spookes them away for quite a while. You get a
range of about 150 yards which is about right when they are trolling behind your
boat.

this dates back to Dec. 2, me and my buddy caught a dozen or so coho, about 6
cromers using spinners on floats and roe on floats. To all you guys using long
leaders and dragging n snagging coho on the backs over and over again and
dragging them up on the beach over the rocks, you will be dealt with severely
next time. Fish legally or stay home!

Fished the Chehalis on Sunday. Bonked four real nice dime-bright 'hos. Hooked at
least twenty others (not so bright). My partner was slamming too fish using roe
sacks. He hit something big that took him downstream for quite a ways before
losing it in a log jam. Never did see what it was but we heard rumours of some
winter steelhead being weighed in at the Errock Lake store. All in all a good
day.
