So....I drove past Furry Creek last week and saw that there is a fence up now. Anybody hear anything about fishing this summer there? I know you can still get to the beach past the fence but there is now nowhere to park. :-\
-
There is a giant hole in that fence that has been cut and closed several times,there also is a trail that goes around the fence down the dirt road.
-
I'm not sure who put up the fence because the land on either side, including that parking area, is owned by the Crown as represented by BC rail (and likely leased to CN). The fence may have been put up by BCR due to concerns regarding rail traffic? I cannot see why there would be any reason not to continue to park at this location.
-
Thanks for the reply guys....I stopped by and noticed that the towing signs are now just for parking in front of the gate and blocking it. You can still park to the left or right of the gate.
-
Railway right of ways are private property. What end of the beach is this fence? Is it the south end by the golf course? There is also access from the North end and lots of parking by the property development. Some people use the BCR Bridge to cross to the south end or you can cross the creek.

Yes the south end, but you can still walk around it. Looks like they extended the fence by like 200 feet. Just a longer walk to carry your fish back to your car ;D

Did my last post get deleted?
Anyways: stay off of the golf course grass!
We may have a right to fish there but the golf course pays more in taxes and stuff and therefore has a louder voice.
Respect and don't give them more reason to restrict access.
My 2 cents 8)
-
Well said Fish or cut bait walking on the beach is very easy to do rather than cutting across on the grass.
-
Did my last post get deleted?
No, you put it on the wrong thread, dude. It's on the Latimer Lake thread...where it makes no sense whatsoever :)
-
I've removed that post in the other thread now, since it's just saying the same thing as the one here.
-
Thanks, I'll drink later.....
-

Is that the rectangular area on the east side of just Olivers Landing court, before the turnaround? I did a street view in Google maps but the parking information on the sign was obscured.
thanks.
-
Off the highway north of the creek. You can park either to the left before the BCR crossing or in the Visitors Parking at the Townhouse complex at Olivers Landing.

Anyone know why/who the south entrance (to the big rock) was barricaded by branches? This happened within the last few weeks. Now this limits the choices for anglers to get to the beach this summer (for pinks) :(
-
you can access the entire beach from other access points. The locals have been quite accommodating despite the near insane numbers of people who come to fish.

I suspect it's the Golf course managers. They would have to barricade it all the way to Porteau Cove if they want to stop anglers during Pink Season. So now anglers need to bring machetes to cross the south entrance to the beach.
-
I'm surprised the golf course managers haven't made it more difficult for people to fish off the rocks on that "hole"
Standing there for 5 minutes watching guys tee off was enough for me to move to the beach.
has anyone been hit with a ball while fishing there? or seen it.

Neighbors dad got hit right in the back of the head sitting next to the rocks. Also seen a ball land a foot away from some kids wading in the water, they quickly ran off down the beach.
-
I sure hope it wasn't the golf managers, because some fishermen may be cut through picturesque hole #14.

It's already been cut and patched several times. It will continue to happen. Not all people going to that beach are necessarily there to fish.

Once I had a golf ball come so close to my head that it touched the hair on my ear. Lucky me, that would have hurt...
-
Wow, how hairy are your ears? ;D
-
Hope no one decides to look for popcans behind the targets at a shooting range.

I was thinking of heading to there tomorrow for some fishing. I have never been there.
Any advice or tips ?
I was just thinking of shore fishing and if allowed some crabbing.
I am looking into the regs atm, but i have a hard time getting it all to sink in since my concussion at work. bleh.

I don't know about crabbing but it's too early for shore fishing there. Still a few weeks away from my experience fishing there. Usually when they open for pinks it's 4 per day but you need to pay attention to the regs because it may change at any time.
-
I am not just into salmon, just enjoy catching a fish.
I am in North Burnaby and I find fish catching is limited to offshore.
-
No docks and not really any drop offs for crabbing from shore.
Though Porteau Cove looks appealing and is!
IT'S closed to fishing!
As for limits, check the regs and updates.
It could be 2 or 4 or 0.
The internet has just as many wrong answers and YOU ultimately are the one who has to OWN your choices. ;)
Good luck no matter what you do but I think you could find a better place to fish though it's a nice walk but often a stinky beach.
-
Yeah I hear that.
The last few morning I have been at the mouth of the cap. No real luck there yet.
I see the fish in the water. Just not hitting my treats.
