Fly Fishing Pink Salmon in Squamish BC

When Fly Fishing for Pink Salmon in Squamish on the Squamish River, use either a sinking tip or floating fly Line.  If you are using a sink tip fly line use flies that are not heavily weighted or you will find the bottom regularly.  With the Sinking tip fly line you will be using a shorter fly line leader with a max length of 9′.  I typically use a leader length of around 6′ with a breaking strength of 12 LBS.  While using a dry line you will definitely want to use a Pink Salmon Fly Pattern that has a bit of weight to it either by means of a bead head or adding weight to the body of the fly.  Split shot at the head of the fly is a cheap alternative.  With a floating fly line you will want to use a leader length between 9′ – 12′ with a breaking strength of 12 LBS.  You do not need to cast far to catch Pink Salmon in the Squamish River or the Mamquam River,  you will find that most of the Pink Salmon will be in Knee deep water.  The reason for this is that Pink Salmon typically make their way up the Rivers along the path of least resistance.  The shoreline provides the path of least resistance.  Below are a couple pictures of popular Pink Salmon fly patterns for both a dry line and a sinking line.  All of these patterns and fly fishing supplies are available at Spud Valley Sporting Goods Ltd. in Pemberton, BC at 1380 Birch Street.  Right now they have a Pink Salmon Fly Rod combo that includes a fly reel, fly line, fly leader, backing and a quality 9 foot 8 weight fly rod for only $99.  Let the boys at Spud Valley Sporting Goods ltd gear you up and give you the low down on how to catch them.
