Does that mean we'll have an opening for the Squamish Pinks this year?  Has the Spit removal helped the pinks for this year's return?

Good point about the spit... 300m was removed in 2022 and the last 550m section was removed in early 2023 which would directly benefit the out-migrating pink fry in spring 2024 from the 2023 brood year...the very fish that we will be seeing this summer.

From what I read, chinook salmon are the targeted species to enhance with the berm removal but it will be interesting to see if other species benefit as well, particularly chum and pink that don't spend as long in freshwater as chinook and coho.

11,300 views....must be getting close to a record number!!!!

I remember the 2011 and 2013 Pinks at the Squamish was pretty decent. Then it started a slow down hill decline after that.  Hopefully it will surpass those numbers but who knows.

DFO doesn't do a forecast for the Squamish system so it doesn't tell us anything about what that return may be like,

I knew there use to be a lake there but had no idea how long ago the changes happened and what was involved in the changes. 
Another case of how humans can destroy the land.  Said it was for farming but now there are many chicken and turkey barns in the area.  Which could have been built in many other areas.  It amazes me the total lack of humanity toward FN that existed and still does.

I read a picture book about it like two years ago. It said they found live sturgeon in the mud many years later! crazy to think about. The land is very fertile because of its proximity to the ocean and all the sediments and nutrients that accumulated overtime from the fraser.

In the proposed list of changes, a large number of lakes were moved off the water specific regulations so only Regional regulations apply. These wouldn't appear in the water specific regulation tables & so are not marked...I guess.

new regulations or changes are marked in blue in the Water Specific Regulations Tables in the regional listings

Not all pop out. If a lake goes from catch & release, barbless hooks and no ice fishing to be catch & keep, barbed hooks allowed and also ice fishing allowed it just falls off the page.
Here is a list put together by someone for Reg 3 water bodies (rivers and lakes) present in the Water Specific Regulations for 23-25 and no longer in the Water Specific Regulations for 25-27. Indicating they had some unique regulation. Not blue highlighted.
