Title: Capilano
Post by: bmynbr on November 07, 2008, 12:27:23 PM
Just wondering how the fishing is this time of year on the Capilano river, and does it get very busy? 
Thanks, Dave

Where on the river is a decent spot to fish?  And do I need a tidal lisence for it?  It says the cn rail bridge is the tidal boundary, is that the rail bridge right down by the mall.
Thanks, Dave

be careful because below the Main street bridge(pretty sure this is the right bridge) is First Nation land and we are not allowed to fish it. most of them are pretty good about letting you know nicely however some arent so nice  :-\

You cannot fish between the railway bridge and Marine Drive. That is Indian land. You can fish below the railway bridge on the West Vancouver side. That is tidal.

Just to let you guys know. Capilano river is raging with water. Usually  fish at 3ft. Today it was 10

Ya, I was at Cleveland Dam today and there was more water going through it than I have ever seen there.  Not that I go there often.
Thanks for all the tips
