Area 28-5 and Squamish river boundary
« on: August 12, 2023, 10:35:21 AM »

I was planning to go for pinks in furry creek and maybe keep one or two ..area 28-5 allows to keep upto 4....I also plan to go squamish estuary near mamquam....looking at the boundary i was not able to find proper fishing boundary where area 28-5 ends, as squamish river itself has no retention on pinks.....any inputs whether the squamish and mamquam confluence is closed for retention and what is the exact boundary?

The Squamish River tidal/non tidal boundary is defined on the first page of the Region 2 freshwater fishing regs: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/sports-recreation-arts-and-culture/outdoor-recreation/fishing-and-hunting/freshwater-fishing/region_2_lower_mainland.pdf

Squamish R.: a line running true west from the tip of the Squamish Dyke (“Windsurfer Spit”)

However, hasn’t that spit been removed?

is there actually any access in that area right before it is considered the squamish river. I remember when looking at maps it didn't seem like it.

Yes, that’s the one. I see on Google Earth that part of the spit has been removed, but the very end of the spit ( now an island) remains, so the tidal/non tidal boundary is still easily determined.

Ya dont think theres any shore access right before the boundary unless you are extremely adventurous.....i was under the impression that spit rd access is tidal hence tried to clarify
