Members of a few clubs have put in a lot of work and the hatchery still releases approximately 100,000 a year (varies between 90 and 130,000) and have for the last 40 years or so. But the return has been getting later and later. The boxing day derby has basically been if you catch a fish you may win for several years. People I know don't really go until February now. But be prepared, if you fished the Vedder during October 20 years ago that will give you an idea of the number of people on the river in February now.
*Fishing the Vedderon on a Monday in October now is 3X as busy as it was 20 years ago on the weekend but if willing to walk a bit can find the holes.
I don't shoot innocent animals... Just the ones that look guilty!
I see. I'm sure numbers are down quite a bit since then, but with hatchery programs going, there's still a decent return. There's a derby every year with quality fish caught.
You can just Google fishing with rod and you'll find a forum similar to this one. No Facebook necessary.
