Squamish Blowout
« on: October 26, 2006, 07:52:15 PM »

spent the day in and around Squamish, unbelievable fishing till noon. ;D ;D ;D I do not like to be the bearer of bad news, >:( but if you were planning on a trip to that system tomorrow, you would be wise to reconsider. conditions deteriorated after noon, and by 3:00 pm., the Cheekeye had blown out, and taken the lower Cheakamus with it. conditions deteriorated on the Squamish as well, and as I left at about 3:30pm, the Mamquam was blown out as well. this would take out a couple of the best spots on the river, the mouth of the Mamquam, and Judd road. rain really started to come down hard at 3:00pm.

Anyone know how fast the Squamish will take to get back into shape... if the rain stops as predicted? ???

given that it's 2 of the smaller rivers that are causing the problems, and they are forecasting the weather to cool off markedly over the next couple of days, I would guess that by Sunday it should be in prime shape. you can also check with river's edge, 604-898-5656. I find that they're very willing to help, and in fact, I would call them with no hesitation any time you want info. in return, i usually stop into the shop, and pick up a little gear. It's fairly priced, and it's nice to have a shop in Squamish :)

I was planning on going Saturday. Guess I will have to make the phone call on Friday to find out.
