Given that it is a Provincially mandated reserve, I highly doubt that the DFO would have any ability (since they are Federal employees) to enforce the closure? Not really sure how the Province has the ability to put a reserve onto an area of the ocean either, and what the point of not allowing salmon fishing as a way to preserve "sea floor habitat"?
Your Provincial Government at work, using your tax dollars to find solutions to problems that don't exist .
I went out early this morning hoping to hook some salmon. And even more hopeful for a coho. After a few hours of nothing I changed gear and tried for a ling. It took a bit and a couple undersized to find this 20lb/ 98cm.
The prawn traps had a worthwhile amount too. ( small-medium though)

Thanks for the report! Looks like a blue Ling? 20 prawns a trap on average? I have to do a charity trip and the fellow wants his kids to see some prawns and sea creatures. Thanks
I dropped lines this evening for a dinner bite with my wife and our daughter. Brought fish n chips and it was amazing out!
Around arbutus rock for a couple of hours and had two small guys (like 16-18”ers) and dragged a few flounders around for a bit. They are annoying as they don’t really show on the rod tip when they get on.
No big action but I did get a nice bit of sun
Edit: I missed the best part. Got to reel the first one in on a Peetz reel. First time since I was a kid

I think I had around 100 on 3 traps. 1/2 shrimp, 1/2 spot prawn. 5-6 squat crabs. About 4 hour soak time.
The creel observer guy at the ramp said that ling would be 10-12 years old.
We went right off the lighthouse there. We got a small coho 2 minutes after dropping then a small lingcod after that then nothing for 2 hours until we got a dog fish to finish it off. Haha
