I have to agree with jim, I fished several times up on the vedder this year, The guys at freds tackle are top notch, and I met several very nice people on the river, so I still email questions back and forth, one I am trading a lingcod trip for a steelhead trip with. I found them more pleasent to fish with the the average US guy, they even went out of there way sometimes to help out....I did lock my tailgate and camper shell then back it into a berry patch before going fishing I also found a spot that has a drive through where the girl can see the trucks parked nearbay and she was very nice and looked out after my truck.
