nice fish, what did you get it on?

[dereke]

i was shocked today to find the clarity quite good for the morning while i was there. left as the downpour began as this fish was my only bujmp all morning. with all the rain im sure its blown out now. i was sure i was going to get a clouded river before i left this morning . got this one on a black/purple prawn.

I see my Indian rock on the other side there! Nice fish dude! Your one of the lucky few!

ya this is one of the better spots on the flow with a slower current for sure. there is a research company now doing fish tagging in this area which sucks for fishing but good for the fish.....they will be at this spot during the week for the next two months the guy said. cool to see them net some fish. they are getting alot of coho out of this run as well. they are doing research on chum numbers and how the cheakamus dam water usage is affecting the numbers of fish coming up. met some guys from tenderfoot hatchery that showed me an unbelievable spot on the river where i will not be dealing with crowds this year. cant wait until my next set of days off to go give it a try......

hope to hear some reports from the weekend that the river is filling up....i think i was lucky getting this one today..not even many showing here as compared to afew days ago

It's a good hike but worth it none the less.

i think this year might be the bad chum year, because i remember one year has a way smaller run than usual, but it is too early to say anything yet though, at least there are tonnes of coho

[fishonsteelheader]

can anyone tell me what the river looks like today

We fished all three today Squamish, Cheakamus and Cheakeye.
First off, I can't believe how much the braided section of the Cheakamus has changed...there have been some serious land slides up there, and now a lot of what I used to fish is now vertical drop offs of 40 feet!

Found some nice water, but only a few fish. Then moved up to the Cheakeye bridge..watched a great show of FN chum snagging, although they seemed to be catching more branches than anything else.

After trying wool to no avail, in the chum hole, which was deeper than I remember it, there were several dark chum, and a nice mix of silver chum and coho showing. Switched to blades with no float, pulling fast through the deep water. Two casts in with a number 3 Mepps black, and bang - fish on. JUST a little to colored a chum for my liking, but boy did it nail that Mepps. So back in it went..and again, fish on..this one ran down river, and I was $4.99 worth of Mepps lighter.

As I was re-tying, I noticed that my tacklebox was floating. Odd. Then I realised I was in knee deep water. Then I realized I was in waist deep water. So I bolted for shore (even though I had been standing on shore. I asked my buddy Pete, and he agreed...we weren't imagining things..the river came up fast! As quickly as fishing had gotten good, it was a blow out. So we lunched at the Raindog only to learn that that river is dam controlled. Learn something new every day.

Would have been nice to catch a clean one, but two aggressive hits and played fish is still great fun. Plus, lots of eagles, GBH's and laughs.

Finished the day at the Squamish/Mamquam, and not a single fish to be seen. NOT ONE. Even the numerous seals seemed confused.

[hotrod]

Squamish had 6' of vis when I left! No fish anywhere! The odd one finning but not enough to catch any. Very poor indeed. I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself!

water levels are lower than I had expected. Fished the spot in the pic.... did not catch any myself. Tried wool and lures under float. Also lures without float. Had one bite but got off.  Saw quite a few fish in that area - mostly coho. Not many chum.

I hope that you did not fish the Cheekeye as it is permanently closed and has been for years.
