We finally have some rain and the Cap is blown double double and the massive amount of fish stacked at the Cap mouth has be flushed up the river above Highway 1. Beyond the range of fishermen.

Thanks for the update.
Is the mouth still fishable ?

[dobrolub]

I hope the water washes away the barriers and traps build of stone in the mouth. With those in place I don't even know how any fish makes it up the river.

Building such structures on the river should really be outright banned.

There's a massive stone barrier called the Cleveland Dam further up the river.  Really ruins my fishing!

First nations are building them on first nations land and weirs are a traditional way to harvest fish although I highly doubt their ancestors used shopping carts and pallets lol

[Fish or cut bait.]

And the rest of is didn't have mono, buzz bombs and such.
The method they use is traditional, only the materials have changed!

Wondering if the portion of the river above hwy 1 is still closed to fishing?

All of the river closures which the province has implemented remain closed until the end of September unless a new notice comes out to reopen them. With the sudden change in weather conditions, this is possible. The weather can still change back quite easily so managers are most likely taking precautionary measures for now.

No need to wonder...

Rod any thoughts as to providing links for anglers who forget how the rule structure works? Seems a simple guide and several links would help many out greatly! It's quite simple but people easily forget how to do things they don't do on a regular base...?

Are there still fish worth trying to catch in the Cap in October?

[salmonlover]

not understanding why they are letting the dam go. when all the news stations are still saying water restrictions are still in place. yet they are letting all this water go. meh

Still the run of coho and springs that enter around that time. This year might be another late run of fish due to the weather and low water conditions, but even with that said I was more or less surprised that a good number of pinks arrived in Howe sound on July 3rd.

This dam is used to generated hydro electric power only. This is not a water reservoir for the metro Vancouver region.

I think you got it backwards:
