Hi, i am being trying to register on the website fishingwithrod, trying to answer the questions for registering, but getting denied as my answer are showing incorrect, can you please assist me, my answers were 8, kokanee and chinook, not sure if this is correct answers. Thank you.
@@frediestax The answers are:
8
kokanee
chinook salmon
@@FishingwithRod thank you very much, really appreciate it.
Nice video Rodney. Influencers like you should be agents of positive change and it's good that you are educating. I believe you forgot to mention that Salmon must be caught in the mouth and attempting to foul hook salmon is illegal.
You make great videos Herman 👍
70% of people are going to have to change their tactics this season. Might have to include a diagram showing where the mouth is on a salmon.
@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures I saw such a diagram the other day, it showed the many places a salmon has a mouth :)
@@petrhermanadventures9509 haha... that's exactly the one I saw too.
Clear, succinct and makes good sense. Thanks to your videos I am slowly learning all about fishing in BC as a visitor. Thanks once again Rod. Carol, from Sydney, Australia
The thing about personal space and etiquette at busy spots is huge. Unlike other types of fishing, hitting these crowded rivers is indeed a social activity and it pays to be a bit of an extrovert. Don't be intimidated if you're not very social or are a newbie, 99.9% of fishermen are super friendly and love passing down knowledge. It's a great way to learn!
One thing I'd like to add is try and fish using the same general technique as the people around you. You can pack the bank a lot tighter if everyone is doing the same thing, trying to mix floats and spoons and jigs and (ugh) fly fishermen in the same run is asking for crossed lines. Don't expect to find the space for your back cast when you're the only guy fly fishing.
Snagging or attempting to snag salmon is illegal!
Use a rubber coated net!!! If you crimp a barbed hook to barbless but the tip of the bard breaks off its a partial barb and you can still be fined, CO will take your hook and poke it through some clothing if it snags when coming out its barbed. Also remember to mark down all retained chinook immediately once caught on your fishing licence. Thanks for educating the community and making these videos!
Reporting in from South of the wall. The first week of the season was excellent. I finally got spoons figured out after primarily fishing twitching jigs the last few years. Thanks for the videos. Very educational.
not only do people who are getting into this fishery need to watch this but people who have been doing it wrong for years need to watch this.
My #1 etiquette tip - There isn't always room for another person to slot in. If you get to a spot and it's packed, wait for someone to leave or go somewhere else. Don't push your way between two already crowded guys. Get there earlier next time and you will probably get a spot.
Great video rod, I appreciate you teaching us newbies on the proper ways to fish the Vedder.
Hey Rod I’m hitting the springs in Campbell River right now. I wish more people would watch this video before they fish 🎣
Been fishing for thirty to forty years but usually in the ocean or a lake never really fished a river that is soo packed with people fishing as in like the vedder/chilliwack river it really is intimating for basically a newbie river fishing person. Thanks for the insights you have given us, Rod cheers and tight lines.....
Hope to meet ya on the river one day
Thanks Rod. Excellent information for new (and some not so new) fishermen
Good morning Rod going on 3 years watching you on RUclips I'm going on 55 years old oct 17th and enjoy watching and learning from tips...sure is a big change from comercial fishing to now bank fishing in the northarm of the fraser river anyways keep it going and fish on 👍
Another Fantastic Educational video Rod 👍👏👍. I wish are fishing license money, here in England. Would be spent the same ways, as it is in 🇨🇦 😊. It isn't 😡. Rivers are overgrown with weeds, lots of garbage, car tires , shopping cart's, bicycles. It's Disgusting 😢.
Been awhile rod nice to see you doing this kind video again keep it up ..see you out there
Guys need to drop the idea of "MY spot". Unless you're fishing on your private property or in your bathtub, you don't own "a spot".
Great video as always Rod, thanks!
This is so helpful! Thanks a bunch! 🙏
Thanks for the video…I’ll try to behave when I come down in October😜🎣
@fishingwithrod, thanks Rod for making this primer. Another worthwhile topic to include here s flossing. You've spoken to this many times, but it's worth repeating that flossing outside of specific sockeye fisheries is not OK.
Some rivers are setup in a way that the bite gets turned off by the hatchery gate across the river and the long fish ladder, as well as being a highly pressured short fishable section of river, Like the big Q. 99% of chinook and coho don't bite in that river at all. They do bite bellow the gate tho like crazy. Flossing with proper technique is the only way to successfully legally catch them. Snagging bad, flossing acceptable under specific conditions. I can see why you would think that tho, Cheers.
A hook in the mouth is a hook in the mouth. Who's to say how it got there? 😅
In Washington flossing is illegal. Doesn’t mean anybody follows the law, we’re a society in collapse, but it is illegal.
Thank you, Rod 👍
Thank you Rod.
well said. thanks Rod
what is your faveriote hook and what size you choose?
Just be humble and kind!
Finally that Time of year to get out the ol Net and get some slabs for the winter months
Big mistake not mentioning snagging.
Hey rod I’ve learned so much from you. I tried fishing for pike minow in Richmond today I didn’t catch anything but it was a blast. I saw your video on pike minow at Gary point would you still recommend it?
Thanks
Just buy barbless hooks. Conservation officers do the cloth test. If 1 strand sticks on the pressed down barb they can give you a ticket on their discretion aka you're getting a fine
W rod
Hi, one more question tonthe reglations Link bc, so ist mit allowed to use a flyfish rod with a dropper and a NY,mph in the end?
Only 1 Barbless hook allowed in BC Rivers so dry dropper is a no. If you are using 1 nymph that is ok.
Do you or anyone you know do a day guide for river fishing for a price ? From someone who wants to start fishing in chilliwack
Talk about flossing!!!, I see so many people on the river flossing salmon and hearing that rip noise is very irritating when other anglers are fishing for these fish properly
It also kills the bite. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve spent a morning catching fish on eggs, then a gang of morons show up and start ripping hooks through the water, body/tail snagging fish after fish. Totally kills the bite
So you can retain BOTH (either) wild or hatchery Chinook on the Vedder?
You can retain "unclipped" chinook salmon on the Vedder (and pretty much right across BC as our chinook salmon hatchery program only clips about 10 to 25% of the fish (up until a couple of years ago). This has been the main issue impacting particularly the saltwater fisheries as there are no distinction between a hatchery and a wild chinook salmon, resulting in broad closures instead of selective fishery openinngs. Changes are coming, the % of fish being clipped/marked are being increased (for the Robertson Hatchery on the island, they are already clipping all of their chinook salmon, all 11 million or so of fish per year lol). I believe Chilliwack River has also boosted up the clipping, but I don't know where it's at right now, will find that out pretty soon. I would think once clipping is at 100%, the regulations will change. Lastly, there really are no wild chinook salmon in the Chilliwack River anymore. Both the summer red and fall white chinook salmon are introduced stocks sustained by the hatchery. The native chinook salmon in the Chilliwack River is a much earlier run, arriving in late winter and early spring, and there have been no work done on tracking those fish anymore as managers have concluded that they are extinct.
@@FishingwithRod thanks!
I have an honest Question!
Regarding Banned Fish?
HOW does a person Choose which fish bites????
I have fished very few times. But I never go Out with a specific Type of fish. I get what I get!
An example is Puffer in the Ocean, Catfish and Sungish in a local muddy River. Perch in Lake Erie. I do not know How you would Avoid a specific Fish type, unless it's by the bait.
From my understanding, if you’re not allowed fishing a certain species it just means you can’t use certain methods of fishing that are known to entice that species.
But if there are multiple different species in the system and you are just throwing a spoon or spinner sometimes anything will bite so it’s hard to avoid in that case.
But just don’t be using methods known to catch that certain species.
Any Vedder Vets wanna add to the etiquette please do so 👇
Also in my state they Been making us pay more for less fishing time. Wait until They start splitting up your season's if they already haven't. And the purpose of a barbless hooks is so your catch racio is way down I lose More fish than I Hook except for plunking. That will probably be banned soon along with bait They already did that in fourty percent of My States river's.
Theres No Fishing Mistakes Rod, Just Happy Accidents ;)
Rod you have an email I can email you personally? I just tried fishing for salmon for the first time. I had bobber downs but when I go to set the hook no hookups.
Could have been a few things. Maybe setting the hook too hard, yanking it out of the fish’s mouth. Maybe you were fishing too deep and just dragging bottom, causing false bobber downs. Could be fishing somewhere with lots of little fish hitting the bait, they can give you a bobber down but are too small to hook.
To bad our fishing ethic's and greedy people fish in my State they'll come up and if you gotta fish they'll Try or take your spot specially plunking.
Don't know where you live, but here, where Rod lives, you can't buy "a spot" so no one has exclusive rights to "a spot".
Correction you can retain Wild Coho in certain rivers. Need to look at regs. For example Stamp and Somass
Nitnat is open for wild coho this year too!
I can't imagine how anyone can fish on a river with dozens of people, lined up on the bank, only spaced 6' apart and not get so many lines wrapped up and fist fights not breaking out everywhere! Nope. No thanks. No enjoyment being in that environment for me.

Along with letting the Indians drift nets the entire concorce or every river that's tribal. And They take everything. I've even seen them throwing out male fish caught in nets because they have no egg's. They Make Big money selling it over sea's the meat is practically worthless. A few dollars a pound VRs like thirty dollars a pound for the egg's over sea's.
Every native I know only fishes for food to feed their families(especially older ones who can't make it out themselves anymore), extended families, and friends who might need some extra food.
