I keep hearing about the Vedder river steelhead fishing. Seems to me like it may be a worthwhile trip. Has anyone fished up there this season?

I fish the Vedder every year during the fall
for "white" chinook and coho. I have not made the trip for winter steelhead, however, I have been monitoring the reports every week. It appears the season has been somewhat disappointing this year especially considering how good it was last year(best in 20 years or so). We're just now coming into the best part of the year for natives, and the pressure is considerable lighter on the river. Go to Fred's customer tackle web page and they have a river report each week or call them for a up to date report on conditions. Good luck!

I'm curious about the Vedder, too. Going to be in Seattle area in a couple weeks and am pondering a day trip into BC. Anyone care to share some knowledge -- bank access, suggested techiques. etc.? Or is it even a worthwhile venture?
