Fishery Notice

Anglers are reminded that pink salmon limits were reduced to one (1) per day 
effective August 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014 in the following waters:
 
That portion of Subarea 12-17 inside a line that starts at a boundary sign 
approx. 1.9 km northwest of the Cluxewe river mouth, then to 50 degrees 37.53N 
and 127 degrees 12.21W, then to 50 degrees 36.98N and 127 degrees 09.53W then 
200 degrees true to a boundary sign on the shore.

During this time in this area anglers may use only a single-pointed barbless 
hook that measures no more that 15mm from the point to the shank.

Variation Order: 2014-100.

Notes:

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.

The term "marked" means a hatchery fish that has a healed scar in place of the 
adipose fin.

Sport anglers are encouraged to participate in the voluntary Salmon Sport Head 
Recovery program by labelling and submitting heads from adipose fin-clipped 
chinook and coho salmon. Recovery of coded-wire tags provides critical 
information for coast-wide stock assessment.  Contact the Salmon Sport Head 
Recovery Program at (866) 483-9994 for further information.

Rockfish Conservation Areas that are currently in effect are closed to all fin 
fishing.  Descriptions of these closures, and other recreational fishing 
information, can be found on the Internet at:
