Could you also suggest what sort of line to use and what are the best knots. Also does it make a difference if I buy buzz bombs from Canadian Tire or do the ones from proper fishing stores catch more?

Milo was saying you can fish either Squamish River or Mamquam River, I was wondering where the trail takes me?

Don't be mean, guys. >:(
The fellow has never been up that way before.

Humpy, if you follow the dyke to the end, you will reach the Mamquam river. If you take one of the trails on the left hand side, you will see the main stem of the Squamish and people fishing.

Regarding your question which river is better...it's up to the fisherman.
I prefer the Squamish. Others swear by the Mamquam. Fish them both and decide.

Now it makes sense, Thanks Milo, I will let you know how I do when I get out. I will try to fish both if I can. Again, thanks for all the help Milo.

Its not being mean buddy. We both were around before the internet and never had such resources and we did fine. Their is a line and someone asking pin point directions is crossing it IMO

We know the Squamish is no secret but seriously if he took your first directions he would have been fine and found out on his own.

start looking around when you go fishing and you will find the spots or how a river changes from the time of year, water flow, colour, speed.  teach you something each time.

Agreed. If you want to hold a guys hand over PM or email then fine. But giving such specific info on a public forum where there are so many 100's of lurkers out there is just a bit too much. Why should ppl who contribute zero to this forum be given this sort of potentially useful info??

Because the more people go to the most popular and easily accessible spots, the fewer people will inquire about and go to the REALLY good spots. It's that simple.  ;D
