Hey Symon , The Vedder has perfect colour to it but a little high . Lots of fish around but can be spotty.

Thanks i cant wait...What are they hittin on?

Hey Symon , Basics like roe and wool , single egg and wool , gooy bob and wool if you don`t have roe , Bottom bounce a plastic worm (pink) to give it some action and lastly a colorado spoon .
Good luck .

Hey everyone... I just got back from the vedder and it was great didnt catch to much but the water condition were just beautiful..... The three of us John,Harold and I fished first morning at around 10:30 and right away hooked into a beauty about 14 15lbs wild so we released it.After that it got kinda dead untill about 4:30 when we went to the bottom of Tamihi where i hooked into a very nice little guy about 7-8 lbs but it broke me off right at my feet... Next we went to the boulder pool and fished there for a bit where i hooked into another but as he made his way for the rapids he straightened out my 2ot gamakatsu ......Next day we were at lickman(spelling?) at first light and decided instead to go to peach,when we got there I right away found a nice piece of water to fish and hooked into one right where the 2 channels join.But because of the dyke and such high water i wasnt able to land him. Then around noon we started fishing down lower where my buddy John hooked into 2,one after another.Fished Peach until noon and then went down to lickman?.

When we got there,there was another guy on the other side fightin a fish so we went further downstream,when we found some nice water to fish Harold was onto a very nice cromer that went so fast towards the other side he beached himself on the shallow gravel bar so as he flopped baqck into the water his leader got rubbed down and the fish broke off.Fished the rest of the afternoon without much happening besides one of the guys downstream hooking into one,,,,, All in all it was a great trip and i cant wait to get up there again on tuesday .

For whom it may concern the river was quite high but very clear not to many fish around but the ones that are there seemed to be quite aggresive.
