shorts hat cooler full of refreshments:wink: ask your charter dude if he's supplying waders ... If you land a biggy. ... Hope for at least a little wind to help cool you. Not too much though to move the boat to much. Be prepared to fight Dino. Nose plugs if your using stink bait . Have at ER.

Post some pics after. Have fun.

Wear an old pair of runners to get in the river, flip flops tend to get lost in the river if you get out of the boat. Temperature will depend on where on the river you are fishing.

Enjoy your sweat!! :mrgreen:

Drink lots of water....river has been hot temp wise...with little wind!!

Some good fish around, 7'+ will give you a nice work out!:cool:

Had a great day on the river, awesome conditions and a great experience with Dean, Dad, and "Brother Gord". Was amazed at how many fish we saw jumping, including a couple 6-7 footers right beside us. By all accounts it was a slow day of fishing and we only landed 2 fish, 52 and 57", despite several takes. (Actually 3 including Gord's 18 incher...) We launched at Island 22 and ran down river from there fishing just below the Vedder and at the base of Sumas Mountain. Depths ranged from 25-40 feet, targeting any change in the bottom contour that would create underwater eddies. Bait of choice was various chunks of rather "well aged" Chinook. I will definitely be doing this again! Will get some pics up soon. Thanks Dad!

Not bad. Seemed to be nibbling more than anything but we brought in 3 smaller ones and lost a good one after some acrobatics. Fun day all around.
