Hey Guys,
we are on a roadtrip around BC and have already been to the Squamish Area and did stuff like furry creek and Cheakamus. Now we are in Vancouver and are heading to fraser valley. Does anybody know which rivers are in? If you are interested in paddling with us give us a call: +16049075223

Cool, did you guys paddle the Falls in the Gold course on Furry? If so how was it?
There isn't much running out here anymore other than the CHilliwack. Tamihi Creek may still be running but I haven't checked for a couple days.

Also the MF Nooksack is only 30 minutes away from Abbotsford, are you guys able to cross the border into WA?
The Nahatlatch and Stien Rivers up the Fraser Canyon should all be prime right now. Also Spuzzum and Scuzzy creek before Lytton should be in, hard to find info on those though and I don't have any myself.
Another option would be Big Silver Creek, its amazing, 3 or 4 sections couple of falls and awesome scenery. http://vimeo.com/304887
I could be around Monday if someone wants to try for Big Silver?
Sunday there is a home town throw down on the Chilliwack at Pointa Vista Cafe, its a very informal for fun rodeo, I will be there on Sunday but could paddle the Chilliwack Canyon after about 4 if when the event is over.
Most of the local weekend warriors have headed up tot he Clearwater this weekend, if you guys go that far let me know and I will hook you up with some peeps up there.
Swing by the store if your passing through and need any beta, we are right off of HWY 1.

hey Ryan,
thanks for your information. We did all the falls on Furry Creek. Was perfect waterlevel.
Today we did Chilliwack Canyon. We're planning to do tomorrow the upper Silver Creek. Would be great to see you on the water on monday, to do the middle part. Where do we meet? Call us or send a message to +16049075223.
See you on the River
Cheers Matt, Helga and Nils
Hey guys,
I can make it for Monday. There is a large scale hydro project threatening Big Silver and almost all the surrounding creeks in the area. If you guys paddle any of Big Silver can you please let me know when, what section, and a brief description of your experience, also how the flows felt? We will need to start negotiating mitigation soon and having record of flows and frequency that these runs get paddled will help.
Keep int ouch once your out of the woods.

REO guides we talked to yesterday did Scuzzy 2 weeks ago and said it was prime level and they imagine it would be too low now, but that's the most up to date info for that one. 30 footers out that way, and perfect level means looks like scraping over rocks under the takeout bridge FYI.
