lots of rain in Chilliwack

clik pix to enlarge

The month of November is always a heavy duty rainfall time ......although it does make for more fishing opportunities ......because of the crowded conditions on the local rivers these days some fishers welcome the downpour because they can fish right close to home and not have to endure the bad manners and poor sportsmanship that seems to be happening too often on the local flows.

lunch at the river

Yesterday we took our lunch to the Vedder River.......what a gorgeous late September day....I reckon it went to 30 degrees today....the river is low , very clear and full of Pink Salmon....we could see hundreds of not thousands of "humpies" passing through the run we were at and heading on up through the shallows....every second year or "odd" year we are treated to this usually large run of salmon.....as you can see many fishers attepting to catch a few for the barbeque. Since the DFO opened them to sportsfishing a few years ago many new anglers have come on to the scene as they are rather easy to catch.
