in 2017 it was the local Fisheries Council -including FN representatives, who recommended a 1 fish limit thinking it would promote some tourist business but cause minimal harm to salmon returns.

No mention of Mamquam. They must be concerned about those fish.

Hit low tide today on the way back from camping. Beautiful day, handful of other people, no sign of fish. Was lovely. Headed out of town for a month, wishing everyone luck in the upcoming gong show!

Nobody hooked any fish today on the beach nor in the river while I was there. Time to panic  :-\  ? :D

No need to panic..

It's still early... there are a few early fish, I hooked and lost 2 last Tues and saw one caught... but that was over the whole day. Im guessing it will be another week or so yet before they start show up in bigger numbers..

unless there has been a dramatic increase in ocean survival of pink salmon don't expect much from the Squamish. I would not expect it to be much better than 2017 and it could be worse. Based on reports so far it sounds to be about on par with the previous cycle..

I got 12 today.

Beers, that is. Those folks at Howe Sound Brewing sure know how to make a beverage!

Gorgeous day. Don't often see that few people on the beach/bank.

I didn't catch anything and didn't see anything caught but still worth the drive. Looks like they had a regatta in the Sound. The kite boarders were a pleasure to watch as well.

Yes 2017, I was out on a boat a few times and each trip it was super east to get into dozens on the west side plus reports from buddies who encounter similar success. Furry creek was completely different story, few schools there once every couple days and the bite would be over by 8 am.
