Summer Wind

Was the salmon run mild last summer? I spent a lot of time in the river and I don't remember it being an issue.

Jack, last summer was my first summer here and I progressed more in a few months than in the last couple of years. My money is on you ripping seriously hard by the end of the summer

Thanks Squamish is awesome. I can't wait for summer. Winter was annoying because falling meant a crazy head rush/brain freeze

Actually I think the Brain Freeze factor is higher at Squamish in the summer than Boundary Bay in the winter. I'm sure the water temp is colder in that river than anywhere else all year long.

Pinks come earlier AUG - OCT vs OCT - DEC for Coho & Chum. They only arrive every odd # year for our coast (wierd eh). They also come in Massive numbers compared to the coho & chum runs. Pinks are smaller and tend to die faster.

I paddled up to the salt water line and caught them there. Very chrome, hard strikers and decent, mild flavor to eat. Pinks tend to go soft quickly and are not considered a high grade salmon. Don't eat em if you can catch them with your hands, floating upside down, or swimming downstream.

Probably can just follow the foilers around and collect fillets this year no? Well, If I could keep up with the foils.

HAHAHAHAHA...love it...great advice on all fronts!

2 year life-cycle for pinks. Sockeye are 4 years...hence why this past summer was massive on the Fraser, as the offspring of the last big run, 4 years back, returned to spawn...
