I won’t fish Coho if I have to possibly injury a bunch of wild ones looking for a hatchery.
Did I hear somewhere Oct 1 one wild Coho retention?

I see where the problem is and will ask. I think it is a mistake with the area 19 and 18 maps.
Area 20 is clear boundary cut off Race Rocks. Area 19 is not clear, and I see why you guys are asking. Oct 1st. Sooke is open for retention 1 wild/3 hatchery just like renfrew.

I found it just like last year no change. Have fun fishing guys I will be out next week, and week after. Thanks for posting this as I think that map for areas 18, 19 should be updated so people aren't confused.
