Fishery Notice

Effective immediately from 06:00 hours to 22:00 hours until further notice the 
daily limit of sockeye salmon is two(2) per day in that portion of the Somass 
River located approximately 200 meters above and 150 metres below the island 
near the boat launch at Somass Park near Service Road.

The Port Alberni Sport Fishing Advisory Committee, the Hupacasath and Tseshaht 
First Nations, Area B Seine fleet, Area D Gillnet fleet, and DFO have agreed to 
implement a limited experimental fishery in a small portion of the Somass 
River, near Somass Park, to determine the long-term feasibility of future small-
scale non-tidal sockeye retention fisheries in years of high abundance.
