Every good run will have a half dozen anglers, but there is always room for one more. The abundance of fish creates a holiday atmosphere. When you find an opening in the crowd just ask the nearby anglers if they mind if you join them. The answer will almost always be yes. No one gets overly protective of their water when fish are thick and hook ups come easy.
Anglers have miles of river to choose from.
A two lane paved road parallels and twice crosses the Vedder in a six-mile run from Vedder Crossing to the hatchery. Look for a likely piece of holding water and grab your rod. There will be a few cars parked at all the runs that are close to the road, but many excellent pools can be reached by those willing to walk a few hundred yards. The Vedder is a fast moving river with few deep pools, but that won't keep you from hooking a ton of fish. I look for the fast slots that form near the bank, at the edge of shallow riffles.
