Have not been to the Seymour River B4 , drove over it many times . Any advise as to places where I can drift awhile on this system Up high or down low .

[patagonia]

not really a drift river... it would be very technical, lots of boulder gardens both upper and lower, the middle canyon section is only doable if u are an advanced whitewater kayaker... their is a trail called the "fishermans" trail that follows the upper river and provides great access... their may be a few steelhead around as this river has fish returning year round; however, I do mean a few, returns have been dismal and most choose to fish the capilano when on the northshore. No real resident trout, if you catch a rainbow it is likely a steelhead smolt. I live on the river and fish it from time to time but prefer to target other systems that are not in such bad shape and in need of recovery.
