Does anyone have any info on these two places for the pinks. I have my three little girls with me this weekend and want to take them out for pinks from shore or off my boat. thanks

the squamish has pinks although the run is slowing down now and  there not as fresh but still plenty available.

Haven't been to the Squamish in weeks, I've heard the bulk of the run is in already. No knowledge of cates...

if you are just out to catch fish, then squamish is awesome, i took my girls out there as well and they got their first salmon.  it's a nice place and it should be pretty quiet now that the fraser is starting with fresh fish.

How you know that they didn't stop there or won't yet? Just curious is all, as I don't know a great deal about Salmon and their travel patterns.

Ditto, when they were there they were 100 yards off shore. Am sure someone got into some but I checked it out nearly every week early morning for the first few weeks of August and I only ever saw two in casting range.
