Title: closures and curious
Post by: zacrum on July 26, 2015, 03:32:23 PM

You can fish for pinks in the Squamish, Ambleside Beach, Indian Arm and Howe Sound right now.  As of August first, the pinks would not be scheduled to enter the Fraser for 1 more month.  Assuming salmon is open on the Fraser, you should have lots of chances to get pinks and other salmon species.

None of the tributaries of the squamish are open.

No, they are referring to non tidal (the cap is non tidal from the Highway 1 bridge down to the Rail bridge at the mouth). The tidal portions of most coastal streams (except the Fraser and tribs) are still open (not part of the special closure, which targeted non-tidal portions of streams affected by the drought), so check the tidal regs for possible closed areas and the quotas(sorry but map reading is sometimes a necessary skill).

I was in a tackle store going over the regs on a particular system a month ago. The whole shop was divided as to the correct interpretation of the regs. They certainly can in some circumstances be confusing. I never really understand why people seem put off by questions. As far as I'm concerned the more questions the better.

Questions are great!

However,  I think that when you ask a 100+ questions in almost every single post for the past 2 weeks ....
it GETS RATHER ANOYING!

Just to hazard a guess:  I bet he has not even gone to ONE SPOT and tried actually fishing yet.
Seriously ... i'd bet on that.

Trying to "LEARN EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT FISHING" ... with out fishing.
He has commented or asked about every River, Lake... Stream and every possible species ..   can't even FOCUS on one single aspect.


GETS REAL ANNOYING!

That's just my opinion.... and obviously ... seems to be shared by quite a few members of this board.

simple solution  don't like my posts don't read them or respond   no one has a gun to your head about it

And blair for your information  I'm new to fishing  bc  as far as actually fishing I have been for 12 years   so that post you just did wouldn't that be insulting and violating forum rules?

Try to stay on topic. The 'search' button on the forum works, and will answer anything you can think of. It avoids things like this.

I am on topic   he decided to make accusations  I corrected them    and I have used the search button before asking the questions   seeing as closures change all the time so That being said no two closure questions would be exactly the same
