FN1040-RECREATIONAL - Salmon - Region 1: Conuma River - Daily Limit Reduction


In 2016, coho escapement to the Conuma River is much lower than expected. This 
low return may present challenges for Conuma Hatchery operations to obtain 
sufficient coho broodstock. As a result, the following changes will be 
implemented: 

Effective September 26, 2016 until December 31, 2016, the daily limit for coho 
on the Conuma River is reduced to one (1) per day (hatchery or wild).

Variation Order No. 2016-431
