I've never done it! How is it looking around this time of year? Is this rain going to help swell out the river and make it a little more conducive for chucking spoons for Coho? Is anybody getting any fish in the river yet? Where should I go if I want to maximize my chances? Any information would be truelly greatfull!
Cheers!

Unless it continuously rains heavily for a few days, any water level rise is short lived and usually enough to bring some fresh fish in, especially if it coincides with a flood tide. Even if the water level is low, it is still worth to give it a go as fish entered from previous water rise maybe holding at deeper runs.
Fishing spots? Anywhere from the hatchery down to the lower section of the river can produce since coho salmon can travel from bottom to top within a few hours when given the chance. Maximize your chance by going often and being familiar with certain spots. The early coho salmon run fishes well from anytime now until late June.

The regs in the Cap. is it 4 hatchery with only 1 being over 30 inches? What is the "minimum" size?
Thx.

All retained coho must measure 25 cm or more from tip of nose to tail fork, and all retained chinook, chum, pink and sockeye must measure 30 cm or more from tip of nose to tail fork.
Capilano River salmon regulations can be found in the table at:

i was thinking about fishing the mouth of the cap, my buddy just purchased a 25 hp yamaha for the boat but we were wondering where we could launch it from. thanks,mike

There is a boat launch right next to the Ambleside sailing club which is right next to the Ambleside fishing pier, however, only usable at high tide, and I am not sure if there is a fee.
There is also Cates Park launch just down at the bend up towards Indian Arm.

took my boys for a walk at ambleside on saturday and the were 2 12+ lb spring carcasses on the boat launch. They had to be pretty fresh as the eyes hadnt been picked out.

There was no fee/charge, but parking can be tough on nice days.
You have to watch the tides for boats that need to be trailered to give floatation. If you have an aluminum cartopper type you can carry you don't need to worry about the tides.
