Vedder River Air Lift

        What a great idea...with the heavy fishing pressure and all an easy access lift could be  installed as part of the trail system...it runs between 9 am and 5 pm daily except Sundays and Holidays. That makes sense , just like the lift itself..........maybe more hours will be added if it is successful  maybe. It is amazing the things they are coming out with these days.....

                                              Coffee and cookies are available at the leaning  tower maybe.

Vedder River Chilliwack BC

Recently the Vedder river has been getting lower than usual...the problem was narrowed to a hole the Lickman Road......It has been a problem for DFO to figure out how to get the migrating Salmon and Steelhead safley through the system maybe. It is hoped the hole will fill in soon and the river returns to its regular route as right now it is confusing to know where it goes...They will be watching closley to scoop any new fish out and help them on their annual run....maybe.

There are people out there that will not believe this..............

Cuktus Lake Sturgeon

Last Friday Jim and I went fishing at Cultus Lake ...It was a great day for a change as it has been a brutal spring in the Chilliwack area this year.Yup the chirdies were burpin and all like that...what a great day to maybe catch some nice cuthroat trout...well as it turned out we were pretty well skunked on the cutthroat bit, but  we did manage this one old sturgeon.....it's probably over a hundred years old , I'm not sure if I want to eat what it has been eating for the last hundred years ...and anyway we were informed we could not keep it anyway...they are protected.....it;s just as well cuz we didn't want to clean it anyway. Oh well it was a great day to be out maybe.

Sardis Park Chilliwack, B.C.

   At one time Sardis Park was a fine producing Gravel Pit situated on land that was released from the ALR (Agriculture Land Reserve)...I think that was in the Sixties and early seventies...as the area grew and Sardis became a popular area to have a home, the pit full of water was developed in to a fine park with choice housing in and about it....it has become home to many species of water birds ,Trout, Catfish and Turtles etc.

Vedder River Access

   maybe     Volunteers have constructed a trail system on the Vedder River to help distribute the many sports fishers that are using the system at this time. It has been accepted positively by the newer anglers, but the old timers have not been warm to the idea.

Chilliwack train

Every day the 12:30pm  train toots through Chilliwack...you'd think after all these years....the wait is bad enough but the bumps....well that just rattles yer socks...and the coal dust just gets on everything....and when it rains it smears gooey black stuff all over the windshield.....it's enough to make you downright put off.
