Water is lower than I have ever seen at this time of year so until we get some rain things will be slow. REMEMBER that Squamish Chum are closed to retention until further notice.

Post by: dereke on October 08, 2009, 09:19:29 PM: Supposed to rain starting Monday. This will give a good indication if we are going to get any fish. Hopefully they show because I have seen some roll but they are not around in any great numbers as of yet. PM me if you are coming up this way britguy, we will have to meet up.

good spots right now?
Hit several spots yesterday and yes there are some fish. The upper part of the lower river and its trib has alot more fish than down low is all I will say. Explore for yourself and you might get rewarded. Visibility was very low when I left yesterday and it poured last night. Expecting another day of rain tomorrow so it will likely be blown for a few days. These slides really make it unfishable in a hurry. Remember there is still ZERO retention of chum in the Squamish river.
