Can someone clarify current chinook regulations for Jervis Inlet. While Area 16 is closed for Chinook April 1 - July 14, there is a special notice for areas within Jervis Inlet. Are Subareas 16-6, 16-9 and 16-12 still open to retention of 1 Spring?
Hope this helps, same gig as last year, open as below. If in doubt please check with DFO, given the gas prices I cannot pay your fines.
