Last pink season I started hooking fish off furry july 8th and by the 16-17 the major schools had passed by en-route to squamish. I have hooked 2 and seen about 5 caught this season.             

Very discouraging.

It's been weird so far with only the odd fish here and there, managed 3 fish this week (two on Tuesday and one on Wednesday) but nothing showing themselves at all.
I kinda wonder if the fish are going to show up and shoot straight up into the rivers since we have a good flow of glacial melt this year. Reason I say that is cause I hear that some pinks are already in the Mam but those are generally the early season fish if I am not mistaken.

Just got back from Squamish, although I fished the Mamquam. There are a few Pinks kicking around in the system. I saw 6 landed around me in about 4 Hrs. I hooked one but lost it and got a surprise Bull Trout. In 2015 the Pinks didn't show up in great numbers till the end of July/early August. A few people out fishing but not too many.

What a difference this year compared to 2015 on the Mamquam. 2015 was the hot dry summer and minimal snow the winter before so this year the river is probably 2-3 times the size it was in 2015.

Will probably head back up next week.

Furry Creek beaches were as slow as can be this morning. Only a few fish hooked among all the fishermen in the entire stretch from golf hole to townhouse and nothing much after 7:30AM. This year's run is either late or very very slow.

The Mamquam is spewing perfectly clear water so for about 1km below it the water vis is about 3-4 feet

Summer it's important to handle your catch correctly. For me this means a cooler with ice whether I'm in the boat or beach fishing. So the roe goes in a bag in the cooler. People say pinks degrade pretty quick if not properly handled. I don't take the chance. Fresh pink on the BBQ is delicious.

Mid august is when it heats up for me every couple years . However , going early gives U the chance to warm up for what's coming .  8)

By mid August most pinks at furry are trough with the last ones trickling in. By this time two years ago they were in full swing with quick limits in the morning. This morning - one fish for 50 guys even the seals are bored. I'm kinda siding with Blair that "maybe" the big push might just not happen at all  :o
