Hey bud, listen.

First off, I'm interested because I like exploring new places away from the herds of anglers like at Vedder. I like being out in nature and remote just as much as the fishing itself.

More importantly, if you can't participate in a discussion without getting your panties in a twist and insulting people - "weekend warrior", "self entitled", etc. - then don't bother commenting. If I was entitled, I would drive through that gate without any questions and go fishing. Instead I'm on here, trying to find info, getting input from nice old timers like Ralph, and having to deal with d!ckhead grandpas like you.

To anybody else, how do I block angry grandparents on this forum? Thanks

Ooh, now whose panties are in a twist. Poor little "student" can't get his way. Man up and go for a drive. You are the one who couldn't drive "all" the way to Squamish and wanted to find an alternative route and wants to go through the Coquitlam watershed. Have you driven up Suicide creek to get away from the crowds? Google Davis lake or Dixon lake. Try the Harrison East forest road or even the Harrison West forest road. Try Salisbury Lake or Lost Creek. Head up the Chehalis area. Just don't go where you are not supposed to be. Hell, Burma road is worth it just to say "yeah, I was up on Burma road last weekend". And those are just a few of the places that you can go on the north side of the Fraser without scratching the surface. Or you can do what adults do and drive all the way to Squamish and down to the Indian River when the road is open.

The problem with blocking someone on this forum is that for every person you block, you miss out on 20% of the posts.
This place is dead and needs some life pumped into it.

Which is exactly why a self entitled person like yourself isn’t allowed in the watershed. What is your preoccupation with an area that you have never been to? There are a vast number of rivers with better fishing.

I am. Also, all sorts of wildlife already shits & pissed in that watershed. That's why the water is still treated before being supplied to metro Van. But an SUV will somehow spell doom?

That is incorrect.  The wildlife has been trained to walk to the other side of the divide.  They only eat and drink in the watershed.

seems to be an article from 2021. Something current might be better to post

I was just making the point of what most likely led to closure going back a few years . This was a great place to go to fish and relax with family and friends bar fishing or fly fishing salmon . Got to the point where you had to keep the small kids on a leash to prevent getting killed by some no brains running them over in there dune buggy or jacked up 4x4 . I was there one time a guy rolled the 4x4 with some young folks in the box thinking they were having a great ole time but paid the price . Burning pallets was also stupid . A young kid I seen impale his foot into a nail ,through the kids shoe from one of those burnt pallets . If you want to go out now ,you will have to go out from the Harrison River .
I see the same thing going to happen at Stave flats . All the crap leaching into Stave lake and to through Hayward lake from radiators burnt tranny oils , motor oils etc etc .
Sorry , just ranting here  ,. Hope the Pink season opens early enough to please everyone .
Peace 

To be clear, this is the watershed that supplies drinking water for Metro Vancouver. The people who do have access take training on acceptable practices and have to have health checks before entering. This is not someplace for a wanna be weekend warrior to play in while trying to find a non existent route to a place that he has been told he can’t access from here. Why not try being a responsible member of society and go play in one of the innumerable locations that are available?

better option is knowing someone who has a key.

What wouldn't I give to know somebody like that.

If you happen to have somebody like this in mind, send them my way for beer and academic tutoring... the only two things I can offer as a broke as hell student hahahahahah
