Had a great time on the flow, thanks for all the help(Milo). Caught my limit on all days, some nice females that provided me with some roe for the fall salmon season. Time to get some roe ready. Water clarify was not the greatest but if you use bright pink lures, spoons or jigs they will bite. Anyways that's my report.

Awesome! Glad I could help.
Pay it forward now.

Heads up if you are thinking of going up up that way, Squamish Live is on this weekend, traffic was backed up beyond Furry Creek on my way back from work.

If your looking for pinks to bring home IGA Marketplace was selling them for about 6 bucks per fish. Head off and cleaned.

I've seen cheaper at SuperStore

Tried this fishery for the first time this weekend. Lot of fun!

COs were out there this weekend, and I personally witnessed a few tickets being written...will people never learn?

Overheard:

"But officer, I have a license."
"Yes, sir, you do, but you don't have a fresh water salmon tag. It is required if you are retaining fish."
"Is that some new rule?"
" No sir, it has been in place for well over 20 years. "

Beeks.

I'm glad that there are some people checking at least in the very busy spots. I've been fishing in BC for only 1 year but I've never seen an officer on the river.

Was fishing with Tom L. today, Milo, and he saw this one group of 5 people take fish out to their vehicle twice and kept coming back for me.  He mentioned that someone said something to them and another fellow phoned the CO's but they kept doing what they were doing....no CO's came unfortunately.

Just seeing fishing constantly be dragged to the dry part of the shore line for release is enough to raise my blood temp.

That's unfortunate.  I've been actually stopped in my car for a search 2 weekends ago as I was driving away from the river.   CO did a U-turn and flashed the lights and I pulled over.  I didn't catch any fish that day but it is the luck of the draw.  Sometimes the poachers get searched and sometimes law abiding anglers get searched.  I've been checked by CO 3 times this pink season already. 

I've also seen people use nets to catch pinks (and no, they weren't FN and they weren't Asian ).

Pesky Europeans!

Co's were there every day at different time frames this weekend. my dad actually got a ticket because he forgot his license in his waders back home LoL that's a painful $115 lesson !!


all other charges will be waived when he produces a copy of his license with tags showing he owned one at the time ticket was written. the charge he still has to pay is "failure to produce a license"

If you are referring to anglers using landing nets on the Squamish and Furry Creek, there's nothing wrong with that. Many anglers are not comfortable landing a fish without a net.

But if you are talking about setting nets across the flow to CATCH fish, I truly hope you reported it. If you just walk away and do nothing about it, you become part of the problem.

Trying to catch with a net.  No rod.  Clearly if they were using a net to land a fish that they caught with a rod, that's not a violation.

Whats the Squamish river like for jet boats?

[Dogbreath]

There are some Youtube vids of a commercial operation that does trips mainly on the Upper Squamish-there are smaller jets on the lower river I imagine that launching could be an issue.

FWIW-took a tour group up to the Bailey Bridge on the Cheakamus Monday to show them some Pinks heading upstream-people from Oz & Germany-they were amazed.

That's something I'll be doing a lot more of in future.
