I got the date and month wrong, LOL. Video was take July 8. Lots of neat fishy action to see, chinook, sockeye, trout, rocky mountain whitefish. It felt great to be back in the river again after a long break.
Been a while Petr. Those are awesome fish. We call them Stubbies in the Strait. No retention until Aug 1, 80cm max, 2/day marked or unmarked. The DFO is trying to protect the early-run upper river fish. I find it very interesting they did this transplant in the Vedder. :)
I don't think it would fly nowadays, introducing completely foreign genetics on a river just to create a fishery. But it's been working for a long time and these are very interesting fish.
@@petrhermanadventures9509 I don't mind a bit of salmon enhancement here and there. Have you seen the RU-vid videos of the Chinook Salmon that have colonized the entire southern coast of Chile and Argentina? It's amazing. It all started with 20,000 Cowlitz River hatchery smolts transplanted into a small river in southern Chile about 40 years ago. Check this out, RU-vid is full of these videos. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-63J6xNgFpOo.html
It's above the fishing boundary. Reds are hard to catch because there are rarely many of them. Lat year there might have been a thousand total, maybe less.
It's probably best not to even try. Yes, short leader 35 gram float with a 30 gram egg weight are the way to go. The problem is that the current rips your presentation through the fish and foul hooking is the likely outcome.
