Don't waste time and money going to the Squamish this weekend!
« on: October 17, 2008, 08:06:09 PM »

According to hydrometric data, the Squamish has come up 2.5 metres (that's more than 8 feet! :o) in the last 24 hours, making any attempt at fishing futile.

I was hoping to hit it this weekend to try for a fresh chum on the fly away from the crowds, but it is definitely not going to happen.

Yet another disingenuous post from the wily and ever-opportunistic Milo! ::)

What he fails to mention is that the river was extremely low before the rain and is dropping steadily now.

Sunday AM should be just about perfect.... ;)

Beg to differ, Sam.
Anything higher than 3.5 metres near Brackendale is too high for productive and comfortable fishing, but to each their own:


See for yourselves, guys:
