I was fishing at Mamquam and got into quite few fish (correctly caught), but kept only one that wasn't a boot. Friend of mine got a clean one as well. It wasn't too bad of day, but I agree that Squamish was bad. I fished for 15 min and gave up as I couldn't see any fresh fish, nobody was catching anything and wind was just blowing down.
Seen a guy fishing from the railway bridge. I couldn't believe it, and I kept one eye on him while fishing. I was hoping he will not plunge to I think certain death. At that time Mamquam was raging bellow the bridge. He was there with his little son. If he went down, only what I could do is to call 911. At one moment this guy gets a fish on, and I just couldn't stop watching him while he was trying to reach the end of bridge. Finally he safely reached the end, and kept fish. After that we talked a bit, and I offered him to fish from my spot as I was leaving any way. When I warned him that it was extremely dangerous what he was doing, he mentioned that his son was frightened too, but that he is an excellent swimmer? I never fished from a bridge but would really like even not to see anybody doing this for your own sake. There is no way I would be able to swim out of that water and do not know why anybody would put their life on the line like that for a fish, specially having your little kid next to you. Guys (and girls) please be careful.
