Since DennisK and a few others were asking about the Squamish, I thought the staff of FWR had an obligation to obtain the most accurate report, by doing a field trip ourselves.
Good news and bad news.
The good news, plenty of fresh chum, which were very silver, moving through the Lower Squamish River (downstream of the confluence of Mamquam River).
The bad news, visibility of the Squamish River is POOR. Lower Squamish River had about 8 inches of visibility. Cheakamus was not much better, around 12 inches. Mamquam was a bit better, around 1 to 2 feet. Under such condition, I have to say unfortunately most fish that I saw were flossed. My float didn't dip once. I did hook one fish accidentally while looking away. itosh asked where my float was, I gently lifted up the rod and the line began to peel off the reel. It was obviously snagged. I ended up donating another Drennan to the river, or another angler, because of that fish.
The chum salmon that were saw, were on the move. They had no interest in whatever was being placed in front of them most of the time.
Hopefully condition will improve.
So, why are the eyes of this chum salmon so bulged out?
