I guess after things settle down a bit, everyone will be on the same footing in having to find new & secret favorite fishing spots.  The old ones are long gone & the river as we knew it is changed.  It will be interesting to see how the gravel removal sites have filled in.

Just got word from the boys, (well, my "boy" anyways) that they are helping fill sandbags, I believe at the firehall on Chwk Lake Rd.
Sure hope they can be of some help. Good work guys!  :)
Certainly hope this weather starts improving, although as I'm sitting here typing this, I can hear the rain splashing on the windows again. :(
Hopefully things dont get too much worse. Glad to be sitting high and dry on KW road, although, who knows for how long...  :o ;)

They showed some cows stranded on a high spot on the evening news. Who knows what happened to them? I remember I think it was 89 when the river took out a few houses and changed course in a few spots. looks like we can expect some big changes after the water recides. I wonder if that pick up will still be there. Looks like some folks will wake up owning waterfront lots. :-\

I watched the news at 6 and man is that river flowing :o I hope everyone is ok. Everyone sure is gonna have to go searching for a new spot for the upcoming steelhead season. This is what happens when to many fisherman wish for rain at once. :D

Yeah thats some impressive footage.  All rivers across the lower bit of the province and even into Washington state were looking over the banks.  Squamish is only area that doesnt seem too concered as its only at 27 feet or something like they said  ??? The Snoqualmie falls were rather impressive and so was the footage of Shannon Falls.

29 feet for Squamish before flooding. Ive seen Chum pass under my car going fishing at the Chehalis once. I bet that river is pretty blown out as well Probably has diverted away from the hatchery again.

 :o That river is flowing - wow!  Anyone hear about the lost fisherman???  Was he found?  I sure hope so. 

Steelhead season which that one fellow had mentioned - when does that start?  What kind of gear is used for that?  I normally fly fish but I don't know how heavy my rod is if it would be good enough, not very heavy....  Let me know if you can.

Eveyone keep safe.

i was out there today and noticed a mini van half submerged, at keith wilson bridge. hopefully that didn't belong to the fishermen they're looking for  :-\.

its nuts out there. i went up and the road past apache was washed out.  this massive flooding is not doing the fish any favours.

I heard there closing the road that goes past On the way to local traffic only until the river settles down
I heard that too from one of my friend live over there,so better stay home and wait for better condition. Safety first
