Vedder River White Chinook Salmon Float Fishing Roe

[@JohnJames.]

Seemed like a great group of guys to meet on the river, getting me excited to skip work and go fish

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Oh yeah, most guys I see on the river are pretty friendly. Always nice to stay friendly and helpful. Learn and teach depending on the company.

[@BCFishingJournal]

Good old Vedder river, always fun to watch fishing videos from there. 👍

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Haha, yeah I love that place. Great little river to fish.

[@Nicholasyeahbruh]

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventureslove you ❤

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Thanks. Nice to be appreciated.

[@JustinHallowesOutdoors]

nice video,as always.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Thanks for watching

[@craiglehr1213]

Thanks for the video! I live 10 mins from that spot. What is your rod and reel setup? Wondering about makes and models. Thanks in advance!

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Wow, it must be nice to live at the river. It takes me 15 minutes just to walk to the spot from where I park. Plus a 1 hour 15 minute drive. I used a Berkley 8 foot 6 lighting rod. A lot shorter than what most guys use but I love it because it is so light and gets the job done. I have on me of the bass pro shop reels on it. Can't recall which one it is. Just search bass pro for their reels, and it's the only white one.

[@auslander1026]

Nice one. What is model for the reel?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

I think it's the Abu Garcia Black Maxx.

[@jimmyk3262]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. How heavy is your float and egg sinker you were using here??

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@jimmyk3262 usually like 20 to 25 gram float and I balance it with whatever size egg sinker floats It so just the orange top is showing. Usually 3/4 ounce weight I believe.

[@mousebillie]

Nice video. What reel do you use and would you recommend them? Thanks

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

I just purchase whatever reasonably priced bait casting reel I can find at Cabelas or bass pro shop. Something in the 100 to 200 dollar range usually. I don't like spending a lot of money on them since I'm hard on gear.

[@smbdy123]

Nice fish! What do you use for the main line?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

20 pound power pro braided line.

[@FishingWithBottles]

Nice work.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Thanks

[@ChipDarby13]

Looks like fun, especially the sunny day😊 What size float and weight are you using?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Small float I think like 25 gram with a 3/4 ounce sliding egg sinker probably. I tape the weight to the float and put it in water to see if I have the right weight to float ratio. You want it mostly sunk.

[@scambaitspidey3470]

where do you park?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Anywhere along the river.

[@wescrawford4384]

Question for ya! Do you see the bobber go down when you get the fish or do you feel it in the rod???

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

100% visual. I see the float go down when a fish bites. Depending on how the float goes down you can even decipher if it was a bite or a snag. I described that in the Video. The only time I feel a bite is if I look away and not paying attention and the fish holds onto it and actually pulls the line. Happens once in a while. Usually don't hook those ones though. Flossers are feeling the line for changes in tension I believe I wouldn't know since I don't think flossing is of any interest to me.

[@wescrawford4384]

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures ok perfect!! So watch the bobber downs! Ha

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

​@@wescrawford4384 I'm tuned in to any bobber movement... I am addicted to the feeling I get from bobber downs.

[@sar9907]

Get Stretchy while fishing bait thread Small spool to secure the Roe. It would definitely hold Roe on hook and give you multiple chances. Plus reduce wastage every cast. I have fished the vedder canal 2010 t0 2018 as i moved r Form BC. Enjoy.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@sar9907 that is not necessary since I use egg loop Knot to secure bait. Thanks for watching

[@PyroBroda]

Was this Tuesday afternoon? There was definitely more people there . Unless you in a spot right up to highway 1 bridge and not Keith Wilson bridge

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Wednesday Afternoon... nobody around as you can see in the video.

[@PyroBroda]

@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures ic ic 😎. Yeah way better to go during the week. Weekends are gong shows

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@@PyroBroda yes fortunately I don't fish weekends very often.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@@PyroBroda Yes, I agree. Fortunately my schedule allows me to have week days off and this is much better for outdoor activities if you don't like having as many people around.

[@otisamistad4669]

How do you cure the roe

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@otisamistad4669 I use procure double red cure.

[@timothybabcock9716]

Where and what state

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

The Vedder/Chilliwack River is not located in a state. It is in British Columbia.

[@bsdgffishtuna5186]

thx! looks cold though

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Haha... the first half. The last half was a beautiful afternoon. 20C degrees and sunny.

[@bsdgffishtuna5186]

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures Glad it worked out. Appreciate your vids. You going out again soon?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

​@bsdgffishtuna5186 yeah I'll be out there as much as I can in the next two months!

[@TheFlounderPounder]

I googled “Roe knots” and got snagged

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Sweet thanks for the info! Glad you were snagged. I'll have to create a video specific to showing how I tie an egg loop Knot.

[@coleomo]

man fishings weird, I do the same technique, been out so many times to the vedder but never get bites. i know im not hitting bottom. in the same area as this video too. makes me wonder what the fishing gods have against me

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

A lot of time it is timing. Maybe the fish are there, maybe they aren't. Maybe it's the bait. I'll tell you what I do know. Someone who thinks they're doing the same thing as me, bit never gets bites.... is likely missing some crucial points to the technique. Or you would be getting bites as well. So keep trying and adjusting things. Best of luck.

[@coleomo]

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures thanks bro, can't let it get to me but sometimes it does 🤣 of course i always try changing things up even if its just a little bit. will keep at it

[@wescrawford4384]

Too bad guys constantly floss! Seen pretty much everyone doing this. No wonder they're always yelling fish on 🙄

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Yes, while they are biting or not they are hooking fish somewhere... head, back, belly, tail... anywhere and everywhere.
