How are things on the squamish. It'd be nice for some c/r chum. I'm old so i remember when you could limit out on chum in 6 minutes about 15 yrs ago....So feeling a bit nostalgic.....PM if it's a sensitive answer :)
 Thanks

The chum run in Squamish has been really sad in the past few years, but I havent seen how its been this year so it could be better. Targetting chum in Squamish is also closed this year.

Thanks. Maybe they should cancel the fishery.

"He blames the trend on the Johnstone Strait chum fishery, which began in 2006, after which, he said, "We saw an immediate decline in chum salmon coming back to the Squamish" and other local rivers.

He accuses the federal government of permitting overfishing."
