@ fengyuanfei,
I am in Valleycliffe close to Stawamus Creek. Usually chum and a few coho in November & December in that little Creek, also some in the river.

Thanks, Dereke.
My two buddies and I are going to hit a couple of different spots upstream next Saturday if water levels cooperate and DFO doesn't close the river by then.

I have notes for both spots from previous years and will be making a comparison. 

I agree with all those endorsing a closure if the situation is that bad.

On a more positive note, it seems it is business as usual regarding chum runs in other systems.

Conserve, Conserve, conserve. For what so another big company can wipe out the river with little repercussion. That river should be chalk full of smolts paid for by CN.  Just my old bitter opinion. As phil Collins sang. . .. Too many people making too many problems and not enough fish to go around. Or something like that.

[dereke]

  The plight of the Squamish chums has nothing to do with CN. Chum were nowhere near the river when the spill happened. While CN should pay more for what they did, I agree with that, this is another issue. Like the Phil Collins quote though  .

Cheers
Derek

I forget if chum are a 3 or 4 year cycle but wasnt there the huge squamish floods in 2004 or 2005?

In case some of you have missed it, bkk has answered a lot of questions people have regarding Squamish runs in this post:

The big flood was in fall 2003....yes.
Thanks Rodney and BKK for the thread.
I might take a walk along the river today and try my luck for an hour...

The squish is devoid any number of fish.  It's a ghost town..   It's so weird to see nothing in there right now when you've been used to it being chalked full this time of year.

 Ya havent been down since the weekend......Might have been just a big school that we were lucky enough to be there while they moved through, like I said too little to late.......again . @ Hickman PM sent.

I'll head out to the Squamish with a couple of friends to check out some old haunts up the river...not hoping for much, but it will be a nice change from the LML.
I'll report tomorrow evening upon our return, so you will have a pretty good idea what it is like.

[dereke]

 Heading out now as well.......

Lots of fresh chum rising in Check, but no bites.
