Is there anyone who has been in Squamish R. recently?
How's chum runs this year in that river compared to the one last year?

Thanks.

Don't know about the Squamish, but the Stave is hot.
Why don't you go up to the Squamish and give us a report?
Retention (1 fish) opens November 1st.

Its been OK. Very crowded even on weekdays

Squamish chum run is awful .... again! Some fish around but not many for the Squish. It's nothing like the return that was last year which was more like the " normal " we used to have. Should not be open for retention in my opinion.

Was there last Thursday. It was low and dirty at Judd road . Only seen 4 fishers there , 2 on the fly and 2 spoon chuckers. No hookups that I seen . Fished the Cheakamus that was low and clear , hooked a couple coho at first light , lost both. Landed a jack coho, then it was lights out , the bight was off soon as the sun hit .

Your mileage may vary, but Squamish run this year seems to be about 1/4 of last year's run. It should not be open for retention. Please think about the ecosystem before you take a fish. And I am not saying this to keep people away. It is slow.

The Stave is hot if you are going for subprime meat and single eggs.  Talked to many people on the river and there's very few fresh fish and no skeins of roe from the Doe's.  Seems like the run has already peaked and is trending downwards.

Squamish has been a disappointment for me on both the coho and chum fronts this season. Chum run especially seems small.

I fully agree. We were out on Sunday at a few spots in the area and there were WAAAAAAAYYYY less Chum around than the past 3 years. A couple dozen at the mouth of one tributary and that's about it. Quite a few more people out on the water than past years around this time, and nobody landing anything but Bulls from what I witnessed.

Sounds like the locals dont want any mainland boys to make the trip north...

If you guys want to nominate a representative to come north and find out how bad it has really been, feel free. Maybe get a pool together to pay for his gas and throw him a few fish from the Vedder to make up for lost time  . I respect the need to hear it from a trusted source, but it would just be cruel to have someone make the drive without compensating him.

asss, gas or grass (or Coho fillets)- nobody rides for free

What determines whether the eggs are in skeins or singles? Is it age of the fish?
