Fished the Vedder/Chill for an hour Sunday evening and all day Monday with two fly guys from work, I fished floats.

Sunday: Strolled into town at the end of the day. Purchased are steelhead stamps for $55 Canadian (ouch), alot more if you haven't already bought a Canadian fishing license.

We only had about 1.5 hours of light left so we picked a spot with easy bank access below the Vedd crossing. First 10 minutes on the river and I hooked into a nice 9 pound chrome hatch hen that I released. Fly guys zero.

Monday:

Started about 7:30 in the morning, and hit it hard trying several spots, finally one of my fly buddies hooked about a 10-12# hatch buck, and played it for a while and it spit the hook. Then I went to the top of the hole and hit a nice 14-16 # wild hen that was bright as foil, fish tailed in the shallows, photographed (not a crime in B.C. yet rolleyes ) and released unharmed.

So three fish hooked and 3 pitchers of Chilliwack Blonde downed! hello Made for a great trip.
