Fishery Notice

This notice amends FN0886 to correct the daily chinook possession limits on 
Kamloops Lake.  The full corrected notice follows.
	
Kamloops Lake:

Effective 00:01 hours Friday, September 1 until Friday, September 22, 2017 in 
the waters of Kamloops Lake, you may retain:

- Four (4) chinook per day, only one (1) of which may be over 50 cm;
- Two (2) pink salmon per day.

The daily aggregate limit of four salmon per day remains.

South Thompson River:

Effective 00:01 hours Friday, September 1 until Friday, September 22, 2017 in 
the waters of the South Thompson River from the green can buoy near the outlet 
of Little River, including Little Shuswap Lake, to the fishing boundary sign 
approximately 100 m downstream of Campbell Creek, you may retain:

- Four (4) chinook per day, only two (2) of which may be over 50 cm;
- Two (2) pink salmon per day.

The daily aggregate limit of four salmon per day still applies.
There is a monthly quota of six (6) chinook over 50 cm from the South Thompson 
River.

Fishing in Region 3 is permitted during daylight hours only.

Anglers should avoid using fishing methods that catch sockeye salmon and fish 
selectively.  The first principle of selective harvesting is to avoid catching 
non-targeted stocks.  Please note that bottom bouncing with long leaders is NOT 
considered a selective fishing method and is strongly discouraged.  The 
Department will monitor the situation to ensure impacts on sockeye are at a 
minimum.

Single barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in non-tidal waters 
of British Columbia.  

Variation Order Number 2017-453 and 2017-454
