Best to leave them alone (IMO)
If you do go, keep it to yourself.
I live 1/2 hour from both but haven't fished them in years.
Not for any other reason than they are so fragile and the lack of snow pack this year won't help the water situation much.

seymour has been poor but the capilano has had a decent season so far this year. Look for coho's to start showing up soon.
