Title: Parking on the Squamish
Post by: BCLAX on August 22, 2011, 08:50:36 PM

i've never fished the squamish but ive read some threads on fishing spots and where to park. id just like some conformation on parking at the mouth of mamquam since i dont want to be driving around squamish trying to find a spot to fish id rather be walking around trying to get away from the crowds. i understand you can park on a dirt road called
"no name road" on google maps, is this true?

Tried a road map? Might be tight if you keep advertising it.

The Mamquam is currently running dirty due to today's rain so it is not worth trying at least in the next few days.

 secondly, if you want to get away from the crowd, the mouth of Mamquam is not your ideal spot.

No question is stupid BC. I don't fish up that way too much but if I did I'd sure help you out any way that I could. Lot's of very helpful fishermen on FWR so don't be afraid to ask any question because the worst that can happen is nobody will say anything so' you're no worse off than when you began.  ;) :) ;)

"No Name" road is paved and is on the south side of the Mam.  It is a residential street and you might find parking there.  The dirt road is on the North Side of the Mam and has more parking.
