i have never fished the squamish area and would like to know if anyone can point me in the right direction. where to go and park to start searching for water?what species? Lures to use.I use a center pin and i got a bait caster. I got about 5 or 6 days off in the next 2weeks and would like to make the best of it fishing! I would not mind joining anyone going that way as well!
thank you in anticipation.

thanks for the info everyone!wow. you guys are unreal! all these experts and no advice.

rhino; did you try searching using the "search" feature here with the word "squamish" in it. It would take about 5 seconds.
squish is dead anyways.

Rhino: The Squamish is a river that takes time to learn. You can walk many sections of the river all day and not see a person. So obviously those people in the know are not at all anxious to share their knowledge. Basically your best bet is to head up there with a backroads map book and explore. The mapbook will show you which roads to take. There aren't any bad spots on the river. Just walk and you'll find good water. Be careful fishing alone, there is quicksand, big bears, and sketchy wades.
Good Luck.

From where I stand, the direction is North/North West :D :D

Thanks you very much for the heads up! I was going to pick one of those maps up the other day actually.

To that I'd like to add-watch where you put you feet!
It's no fun being miles from anyone and discovering you have encountered a patch of the infamous Squamish Quicksand.
While it's not real quicksand stepping in a patch of soft muck that's indistinguishable from the surrounding muck and almost instantly going in up to your knees isn't any fun and can be quite alarming.
One way to deal with sinking any further is to fall forward on your face ASAP-also not fun but better than sinking up to your hips. :o

Sam, I mention the quicksand. Last winter my buddy went in past his waist. Said he used his fly rod case like that British guy that does the Survival show did on one episode.

thats actually the best way to get out, the way your friend did. fly cases come in handy when you need them. I have used mine as a wading staff before as well (with the rod out and in my hand of course)
