Coquitlam River
Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada
Slow moving wider river; shallow visible pebbled, rock and silt, sand beachhead, mixed forest, mostly deciduous mature trees and undergrowth surrounding both both raised banks on the Trabouley POCO Trail through commercial; residential and main street businesses of Port Coquitlam and North of Colony Farms, Coquitlam. Small red Spring Salmon run in mid-progress but only one fly-fisherman, a mother Mallard and five ducklings. Disappointed to move location due to closure of trail to Colony Farms and noticeable man-made domestic pollution of household trash beside the trails.

Fisherman but no fish.
Several groupings of mallards on shore but no salmon visible across width of river.
No fishermen as too shallow and still. Warmer temperatures had song birds sheltering in trees surrounding with lots of different calls.
