Well got to the Squish today around 6am
no one there
so i had a few casts then a few people started to show up
It was slow at first
I bumped into a nother site member
He was doing real well hooking lots of fish
I was not doing well
So he gave me one of his green flies and i started to get into some
(thanks for the fly)
I had made up some green ones the night before but left them on the bench
then a group of a bout 10 guys turned up three were guides
then another smaller group turned up also with a guide
Lots of fish caught all around
I hooked two nice Ho's and i heard others catching them
a boat Even pulled up and out got about 4 guys and they started fishing from shore
everyone was fly fishing today not one drift rod to be seen

Then i heard someone say look a bear
sure enough on the other side of the river there was a small black bear
maybe a year old
no mother to be seen but i bet she was arround
water was up since last time i was there

man it got hot too
i got a bit burnt on my face

Went out a couple of nights ago Squish/ Mamquam area. A lot of the pinks in the Mamquam are past their prime. The river was packed with fish but they were not feeding much anymore on that day - quite a few dead ones floating. A bunch of kids were snaging them one by one.... did not look like fun to me.
Best area for pinks is probably the Squamish downstream of the Mamquam river where fly is most effective.
Casting could be good for Cohos but you could easily foulhook pinks.
I will try the Cheak on the weekend which is usually good for Cohos. Have not fished the Cheak this season - not sure about pinks in there.

On the bear topic.... We have them around the house all the time... definitely keep your eyes open for bears with the smell of dead fish....
Squish is definitely bear town, especially this time of the year...

Well decided to have a last bash at the Squish
Got there arround 6.30am made my way down the trail and there was one big pile of bear scat
I made lots of noise and headed back to the car then walked towards the bridge and down to the river as there were a couple of guys there
Well it started real good 3 casts 3 fish :happy:
then it slowed down a bit
so i moved arround and hookeg a few here and there
then the wind got up real strong
making casting hard and the bite was gone
The fish i caught were fresh and chrome
but lots of half dead ones floating bye
I think its over there now for
