Quick note to the local folks looking to get quick fix...
Seymour is up a bit, must have been some rain higher in the water shed.
Coho are moving in on the high tide for the past 3-4 days in ok numbers (that being said it is Seymour). The higher pool are holding ok numbers of fish also. Its a long walk but worth it, no one around, you and 5 or 6 fish in a small pool.
Pink are in, nothing clean, and yesterday hooked into an early Chum.
Has anyone seen any fish moving on the Cap?

Dave (High Water Tackle) just confirmed in his weekly North Shore News that the Hatchery has arranged for more water to be released - thus why it is up these past few days.
Word on the water this evening was a large run pushed through today midday low tide and all... There where still groups of 5s and 6s coming through until about 3:30pm.
lIt was a very high tide tonight, full moon and all = with more water, full moon, high tide at dusk you'f figure it would have been a good night.... Notta fish - even the local seals buggered off...
I'd start fishing the mid and upper pools...
-
just little guys......
-
the pinks arent even close yet done..... was there today and almost everycast you would hook into one plus they are very disgusting.. havent seen a chum yet and only the odd coho been caught, dont think its time yet.
-
anybody at the seymour today. all i saw was some stupid rotting pinks.
Remember these fish were bright and beautiful just like us old guys were at one time. ;D ;D

Ditto to above post.

The GVRD and DNV are working on separate projects in the areas surrounding Riverside Drive and Maplewood Farm. At dawn this morning, I noticed a large diameter hose running from the DNV jobsite along the lenghth of the Heritage Park road an into the river. Although it wasn't pumping out at the time, It looks as though it had been pumping in the days previous. Anyone have any idea what they're pumping directly into the river? I'd assume it's excess ground water - either way it, it can't really help the fisher or the fishee.

Any fish moving in the Seymour or Cap today?

Did you guys get in to any pinks , on the Seymour this year ?
-
Yep...
An OK run of pinks on the Seymour - nothing big but some... if you got board trying to find a coho you could easily hook up a pink...
Thats 4 days in a row no fish moving through... after a lot of fish last weekend & Mon. Is the Seymour Coho run over? say it aint so...

I didn't think there was a big run of Coho , on the Seymour , but I don't know the river too well. How long did the pink run last there-like when to when. Thx B
-
thanks JK
Just banking for future knowledge ! B
-
small endagered run of coho on the seymour. the coho run is actually has completely stopped there has been no coho around i think thats it for the run that they go up the river.
No and no.

Ok Rod , whats the scoop ?
-
The coho salmon run on the Seymour River is not "endangered". The term should never be used so loosely. If a population is classified as endangered, all activities that may cause an impact on it are to be ceased. Angling opportunities for coho salmon on the Seymour River are available, and there will still be fish coming in the next couple of months. The current daily quota is one fish per person, but be very aware of the fishing boundaries as there are only certain areas where fishing is allowed. The population is definitely not what it once was due to loss of over 20 miles of spawning habitat by the dam, but the remaining population is growing with some helping hands. The Seymour Hatchery is responsible for enhancing the coho salmon population. Hatchery production is not the only project in his enhancement. Establishment of spawning channels is the driving force of wild population growth.

Although the number of fish returning each year is dwarfed by the amount that the Capilano River produces, they are quality fish.
What people should really be aware of is the low population of wild summer and winter steelhead in this river. Currently there are less than two dozen summer steelhead that are tagged in the river. Everyone should do their best to avoid by-catching these while fishing. There is no retention allowed on both wild and hatchery steelhead and trout.

They are now... with all this rain!
Going on a walk about this AM, hightide in 60min, to see if the combo of heavy rain on a high tide gets things moving... Will update later.

Washed out... and the rain is still falling at 6pm so its 24hrs now none stop rain on the shore...
You could see a few pinks in the slack water, but no coho... the regulars all took a boo and left 30-90min later, wet without fish...
