Dave Vedder and I have gone together to BC (Harrison River) to catch coho, springs, and yes, chums in mid to late October several times. Do you want a sore arm? Do you want a blister on your thumb? Do you want non-stop action? Spend a day casting to and catching dozens of 3 to 4 different salmon species........including some of biggest, baddest chums on the planet.

It's pretty cool to release your 10th 20 pound chum after a 15 minute battle and have to sit on the gravel bar, pop open a Kokanee, light a cigar and say, "I'm going to a break for a minute or two.

If you get a chance, read some of Dave's article about chums and the Harrison River in some back issues of STS. Good information.
