They follow the salmon, you should find them now.

He-who-knows-about-Squamish-bulls has spoken!  :)

Go get them, Kalex. This is the best time of year, and there is hardly a soul around. Just remember: bait ban, C&R only.
Fish tail-outs of deeper sections, riffle seams...anything that looks like a structured location from where an easy morsel can be safely snatched. Most importantly: they are not far from shore.

I would be chasing them myself if I wasn't homebound. They are such beautiful fish:





Dereke, post some of your Squamish bull-trout pics...I know you have a few fabulous ones.   :-*

You drive up Sea to Sky until you are at Squamish, find Squamish River, walk with fishing rod and find fish.

Seriously....

Anadromous bull trout, and cutthroat trout, and rainbow trout, follow salmon back to their spawning ground and feed on their eggs as they are deposited. When targeting these fish, instead of asking people for direction, you should think about where these fish can be found. Find spawning salmon and you shall find hungry trout and char. Chum salmon spawn in side channels, find the outlet of these channels.

You don't have to go up to the Squamish to find good bull trout fishing. The Lower Fraser and its tributaries downstream from Pitt River should have plenty of them around right now.
