does anybody know why dfo states pink salmon in area 29 in an even year? where on the river are you gonna catch pink salmon now! its already october. how many pinks are they estimating to come through.....a couple thousand?.......just sounds strange to even fish for them in an even year? wait a minute i bet rodney knows.................

My understanding is that the Squamish River is in area 29 and there are indeed even year pinks in this system. That said, the run is extremly small and is closed to angling. The hope is that this run will build into a significant size at some point in the future. This year was a "poor" run with maybe only a couple of hundread spawners.

Back in August I remember seeing a couple Pinks listed on the Whonnock net program results. My first thought was probably some UBC weiner not being able to ID a fish but I see I'm wrong. And before I piss too many people off about the UBC weiner hit - I'm just jealous that I didn't have the cash to go there but was able to pound thru BCIT instead. We won't have to worry about even year Pinks anymore. If there were only a few hundred spawners, the Natives probably wiped them out with their nets then probalbly threw them out because there's no money in Pinks.

Sry i did not post were i caught it. I caught it on the island near nanaimo. We still get decent runs on even years.
