Squamish July 15th
« on: July 16, 2007, 08:58:01 AM »
Hi all...

ventured out to the Squamish yesterday to see how bad it is. The Squamish itself is still REALLY high and muddy.
The Mamquam is clearing up but is also still a bit high. It looks fishable though...
There were a few guys fly-fishing at the mouth of the Mamquam below the BC Rail bridge. I did not see anyone land anything or even have any action.
They gave up after 2 hours or so... so did I (spin casting).... no fish...  :'(

I will check every few days.... they gotta be here soon.

Cheers.

I like the Cheakamus but it is way higher than the Mamquam and murky right now. It has more run-off from higher up.
Give it another week or two...

Hey Hickman, when you were at the Chek were you looking at the river below the creek or above?? I know the last time I was up there the river was unfishable at the first bridge, but when we ventured upstream to the second bridge above the creek the water was much lower and crystal clear... that creek was like pure mud flowing into the river !! I would like to get up there soon and have a look myself  :D
cheers TH

thats true that creek is always giving the river some colour but there is alot of water coming from the damn probably since the upper river leads right into daisy and it comes from the mountains

I assume that you are talking about the Chekeye that flows into the Cheakamus.
I was referring to the Cheakamus along Paradise Valley Road, the lower Cheakamus.
In terms of most promising fishing in the next few days/ weeks I would think the mouth of the Mamquam will be OK - if at all.
BTW, I went up to Cat Lake last night to hang with friends - lots of action around 8 to 9.30PM. Should still be good fishing... I might try it out.

... just a quick update on the Squish...
Went out for a couple of hours late afternoon, fished the Mamquam below the railway bridge... no takers. Actually did not see any rolling or jumping.
Half a dozen people out there around the mouth of the Mamquam - nobody caught anything.
Talked to a couple of guys who said that a few chinooks have been hooked in the mornings around the railway bridge, not sure about pinks.
The Squamish has come down by ~3ft but is still muddy, so is the Cheakamus.
Fishing the Mamquam should be good/ better in the next few days. I might try it early mornings or late evening on the weekend...

Does anyone think pinks will be in the Squish by next weekend?

Have the Squamish/Maquam/Chec been opened or pinks and chinoocks yet?
