Anybody been to Squamish river lately? 

[flyrabbit]

was there today with my buddy. The water visibility was poor. Had three hook-ups and landed one...Flyfishing worked better than gear...

[RG]

Did you concentrate on the mainstem?

[Tadpole]

I fished it yesterday, the main stream, Vis was poor in the morning and improved during the day. Fly fishing was great. Chrome fish with sea lice are still pushing wave after wave.

Water vis isn't great but there are still a lot of pinks around, I would say it is starting to taper of though, however.

[nvloc]

I'd agree with the above note - it's tapering off. The fishing was superb the the last week of July and the first couple of weeks of August. Although there are currently fish still in the system, they're colouring up, pushing into the upper reaches and spawning.

What's "poor", "improved" and "isn't great" numerically? 6 inches? 1 foot? 2 feet?

[NiceFish]

Less than a foot for most of the times i've been out

Visibility today at the lower river was somewhere in between 6 and 12 inches.
Still lots of fish pushing up but fishing is a lot slower than before the rain due primarily to poor visibility problem.
Average size of fish smaller and portion of chrome fish lower than earlier in the month.
Unless you swing it right in their nose, they can't see it and many strikes were off-target leading to poor hookup ratio.

I'll just add that if you are willing to wait for a new push of fresh fish to swim by, you will be rewarded.

Was up there in the afternoon from about 2-7 pm. Water level was good but visibility was maybe 1.5 feet max. Managed to land a half dozen on the rising tide, though none could be considered absolutely chrome. Still a good time to be had up there, but clearly slower than even just last weekend. Its definitely winding down up there so go soon if you want one last shot at some Squamish pinks.

Spent a few hours there on Saturday morning, and enjoyed fairly regular action when I figured out the depth etc. Visibility 8-10" I would guess. Fish are starting to colour up a bit, but still some freshies. I saw a couple of nice dolly varden caught too.

I was out today for the first time this year. Managed to hook 4 fresh salmon on the rising tide. I would put visibility under a foot.  Even though lots of anglers were out, everyone seemed respectful of fellow anglers space.

[Mark102]

I went out there today. They were definitely getting caught but not as many as 1-2 weeks ago (and seemed to be more colored).

Finally I had the right setup and landed some!!! Good fun!

People eat pinks that look like that?
