Anyone know how the health of the Squamish Pinks are this cycle?  The 2017 flood moved gravel and destroyed a lot of eggs and decimated the 2019 return.  Anything bad happen (other than the BC Hydro mismap) in 2019?

I remember when runs were so good, the Mamquam was even open and tons of fish were moving through there.

Gong has been banged already.  :P People parking along highway 1 at the golf course fence area today, I guess the fact that they even put additional barriers up to stop people from using the area/ parking there doesn't seem to stop people from doing so.

What ever fence CN puts up, some fisherman is always carrying wire cutters to make a hole in the fence lol.   ;D
Even if the fence is concrete, somebody will bring a sledge hammer.

The best way is to put up a row of parking pay station there. Everybody will be happy

Still no good Pink arrivals at furry creek and very little in Squamish. Hearing lots of hopeful “they’re just late”s though.

[/quote The 2019 brood had 9 gravel moving events so that won't bode well for the mainstem spawning populations. There is however some semi protected habitat where they would have faired better. Hoping for better marine survival to off set the flood damage.

the Pinks are thick off Sooke right now with most boats limited out in short order. this is likely the start of the Fraser run.
