Can't you recognize the sand from Garry Point Park? ;D

This doesn't look like it's from the Tidal Fraser either. ;D

What's wrong with fear, a natural instinct that just about all species in the animal kingdom use for survival?

Here's an old print from today.


The tracks on the other side of the river were even bigger than those !

Confrontational black bears are EXTREMELY rare. That being said, you should always be careful.

Making lots of noise as you wander through the bush and a can of bear spray just in case are good ideas. A slower fishing partner doesn't hurt.
That might be true but squamish is an sketchy area when it comes to bears. Last pink season i was fishing the mamquam river just below the bridge. The area had a bunch of people fishing including some kids yet a black bear came out of the bushes and started charging at the kids. Luckily one older angler had his dog with him which scared the bear away.

note that the Squamish and its tributaries are now closed for retention of chum.  Here's the link to the DFO notice:  http://www-ops2.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/xnet/content/fns/index.cfm?pg=view_notice&lang=en&DOC_ID=113555&ID=recreational
