Saturday's pounding rain pushed the Squamish Gauge over the 4 meter mark and there seemed to be no end in sight as to how high it would rise as the rains which were initially forecast to end on Saturday morning dug in and kept soaking the North Shore and the Squamish Valley till well after dark. The Squamish didn't stop rising till about 9 pm and then the river gauge took a hopeful turn back down. So, we checked it again in the morning, packed our sandwiches and headed north.
Ernst took up the challenge of chum fishing on the fly rod and ended up having a really great day.
The plan was to check out the lower river as the tide was hitting the high-low which would then turn to a high-high by about 13:00. So with a slow start with only one hit in the morning we moved up river for some fun and then back down to the lower river about 2 hours after the tide started to rise. Lucky for us, the fish started coming in and there were some amazingly chrome and feisty fish. To check out some of the day's fun, click on this video link. Tomorrow, should be even better fishing. Tight lines!
