Test fishing catches in the Fraser River are indicating a low abundance of chum salmon. There are considerable uncertainties regarding Fraser River chum salmon run strength at this time. In an effort to conserve Fraser River Chum stocks, a decision has been made to take a precautionary approach and as outlined in the 2011-12 South Coast Salmon Integrated Fisheries Management Plan (IFMP), commercial and recreational chum fisheries will close in Queen Charlotte and Johnstone Straits. Recreational fisheries will close to the retention (non-retention) of chum salmon at 23:59 hours Wednesday, October 26, 2011 in Areas 11, 12, and 13; these mixed stock fisheries may intercept chum salmon on-route to the Fraser River. Stock assessment information will continue to be monitored both in the Fraser River and Johnstone Strait test fisheries. Chum salmon may open for retention in Areas 11, 12, and 13 if stock assessment information shows that it is warranted. VO# 2011-502 FOR MORE INFORMATION: Brad Beaith (250) 756-7190 [/TD]

Well this sucks. Perhaps the commercials should not have taken so many.
There goes my fishing plans again.
