i'm located in coquitlam, near coquitlam center mall.   Any advice on how to fish em...points, shallows, weeds, deep?  and what to use for flies.  I think that sturgeon slough is pretty close to me so might try it this weekend but advice on how to fish em would be nice

Should I fish out of my pontoon boat there or can I do it in a belly boat?  Also where do I put in at? I am going to head out tomorrow afternoon.

Plug these co-ordinates into Google Earth.
I guess they are the Gloucester Ponds.
They are the only "ponds" in the Gloucester area that I can see.

49 06'01.90"N 122 28'38.91"W

Longitute and Latatude are the only thing that show up for a point in Google Earth.
