Fishery Notice

Area 8

There will be no commercial opportunity in Area 8 during the week of July 21 to 
27, 2019.  

Assessments to date have not observed any significant numbers of Chum salmon 
within the Bella Coola River or tributary creeks. 

Concerns over the current low numbers and the potential for poor Chum return to 
the Bella Coola River and Area 8 systems warrants a precautionary approach.  

Daily assessments are being conducted on local river systems and further 
openings will be subject to the results of those assessments.   
 
The next notice will be July 25, 2019.
