Subject:

FN1038-Salmon: Region 2 Chilliwack River

The following is a reminder:

As outlined in Appendix 8: Freshwater Salmon Sport Fishing Guidelines in the 
South Coast Integrated fisheries Management Plan, that due to continued 
expected poor returns of Chum salmon to the Chilliwack River in 2011 the daily 
limit for chum on the Chilliwack River is reduced to zero(0) effective October 
16 to December 31, 2011.

The Chilliwack River remains open to salmon fishing with the retention of up to 
an aggregate of four (4) salmon per day which may be a combination of either 
chinook or hatchery marked coho salmon. The daily limit for chinook remains at 
four (4) but only one may be over 62 cm and at four (4) for hatchery marked 
coho salmon until December 31, 2011.

Barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in tidal and non-tidal 
waters of British Columbia.  This includes all species of fish in the Fraser 
River.

Recovery program by labelling and submitting heads from adipose fin-clipped 
Chinook and coho salmon.  Recovery of coded-wire tags provides critical

Recovery Program at (866) 483-9994 for further information.
