heading up to squamish this weekend for the Thomas the train ride, hoping to stay at alice lake,has any one fished this area lately?Also anyone know of any back woods camping in the area in case the sites are all full.

Alice Lake has not been stocked this year and I don't think it will be, but a hike up to Edith Lake from there should be worth it. Edith Lake can be fished from shore, but a float tube may get you away from other anglers, not that it gets crowded in the first place. If the mosquitos are as thick as previous years when we were there, they can be pretty vicious.

If time is not an issue, as I have told many others, head north to Whistler. We were there a few days ago and had a great time.

Heading to Whistler this weekend and I'm wondering how the Squamish river is doing right now. Can anybody please send an update? Much appreciated.

There are numerous other campsites in the area, stop in at the adventure center right on the highway they will have all the campsites listed plus maps and other info. Alice lake got 500 fish of catchable size this spring, but I would definately hike up to Edith as fishing pressure is light.

I was thinking of Salmon opportunities in the Squamish area. I remember that I fished the river in October for chinooks but I wonder if they are in the system right now.

Is it true that all of Squamish river & tributaries are catch and release for salmon?

Squamish River salmon fishing regulations can be found at:

Went through the area yesterday and the rivers a blown right out and will be for a while. Squamish mainstem flowing really high and no vis. Debris everywhere coming down. Mamquam is the same. That coupled with high freezing levels and it wont be fishable for a while.

Thanks for the update Dereke. That will save me a trip and of course will make the wife happier as well.
