94 ROD & CREEL 



To reach it you take the Ferry to North Vancouver and take 

 the B. C. Electric to Lynn Valley. If you are going to fish the 

 lower reaches, you get off at Keith Road and follow that road for 

 two and a half miles. Below the bridge there is some excellent 

 water. For the upper reaches you take the same car and keep 

 on it until it reaches its terminus. From there a short walk 

 through what is known as Scott's Ranch will take you to the 

 river just close to the canyon to the second bridge. There is 

 a fine piece of water right under the bridge and quite a lot 

 more just a little higher up. Between the first and second 

 bridges is a canyon. At the lower end of the Canyon is a splen- 

 did piece of water and there are one or two pools in the Canyon 

 also that can be reached. 



This creek is very similar in every respect to the Capilano, 

 except that it is somewhat bigger; but cannot compare with the 

 Capilano for beauty. It has rather more good water, but it is 

 doubtful if it yields as many fish. 



LYNN CREEK 



This is a small creek just half way between North Vancouver 

 and Seymour Creek. It yields a few nice fish sometimes, but it 

 is seldom worth fishing. 



HORSESHOE BAY 



This is one of the best places for salmon within easy reach 

 of Vancouver. It is situated just round in Howe Sound and is 

 best reached by launch, a run of about twelve miles. You can 

 also get there by going across on the ferry to North Vancouver 

 and then it is three-quarters of an hour's run on the P. G. E. 

 line to Whytecliffe Station which is less than ten minutes walk 

 down a hill to the water. Allow twenty minutes for the walk 

 back to the station. 



There is a boat-house there, where boats can be hired at 

 reasonable rates, and a small hotel, excellently run. The P.G.E. 

 trains only run morning and evening in the winter, leaving 

 North Vancouver at 9 a.m. and Whytecliffe at 6:30. (Times 

 liable to alteration.) 



The salmon in this bay run more or less all the year round 

 though there are, of course, some months better than others. In 

 December and January there is always a good run of small 

 " Spring " fish, running from nine to twenty-five pounds. In 

 March, while you may always get an odd fish, they are less plen- 

 tiful, but come again in April and May, usually running a bit 

 smaller in size. In June and July the grilse come in; they are 

 very small, only going from one-half to a pound. Towards the 

 latter end of June and all through July and part of August you 

 get a run of big Springs and an3^body who has not time to go to
