Salmon fishing the Vedder River this year has been a little odd with our ultra dry summer and dry start to the fall. The water levels have stayed so low and changed up a lot of the fishing spots. Well I don't profess to be a river fisherman by any means. But in the next few years I hope to put in some time and with the help of some fishing buddies I might be catching more than just snags and skunks at the river. Join us on a beautiful day on the picturesque Chilliwack river in this video. I long line released a few and the fish I actually brought in looks like the fish either missed the jig or I was just full on snagged into her. We never intentionally snag them just sometimes seems to happen especially with the twitching jigs.

Wow she is low. Last time I fished both rivers was back in 1992. I really like the chilliwack for springs and the steelhead. Got some real nice ones in there, dontcha know

For sure! I'm just getting the hang of it. going a bunch the last little bit. Water levels are up more now. Getting into some coho now. Got one, lost one and snagged two chum accidentally today. Really slowed down this last week with the freezing temperatures and snow. Usually when the springs run I'm still out on the ocean fishing. I'll have to try steelhead this winter!
