Further to FN0133, the Department will be implementing a "chinook corridor"
containing additional management measures to protect Fraser River Spring and
Summer Chinook populations as they pass through the Strait of Juan de Fuca to
the Fraser River during June and early July. Details of these measures are
outlined below.
Effective 00:01 hours May 4, 2014 until 23:59 hours July 30, 2014 the daily
limit is two (2) chinook salmon per day of which only one (1) chinook may be
greater than 67 cm in the following waters:
- Subareas 18-1 to 18-6, 18-9 and 18-11,
- Subarea 19-5, and
- that portion of Subareas 29-4 and 29-5 that lies south of a line from a point
on the east side of Valdes Island located at 49.05.562N/123.39.989W then
extending 57 degrees True for 5 nautical miles to a point at
49.08.316N/123.33.669W.
The minimum size limit for chinook salmon in these waters is 62 cm.
Variation Order: 2014-201
Notes:
1. Sport anglers are encouraged to participate in the Salmon Sport Head
Recovery program by labelling and submitting heads from adipose fin-clipped
(Hatchery Marked)chinook and coho salmon. Recovery of coded-wire tags provides
critical information for coast-wide stock assessment. Contact the Salmon Sport
Head Recovery Program at (866) 483-9994 for further information. The location
of the Head Recovery Depots can be found at the following site:
http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/tag-etiquette/prize-prix-eng.htm
2. Anglers are requested to release any hatchery marked sockeye. These fish
are hatchery raised sockeye and part of a recovery program designed to increase
the numbers of Cultus Lake sockeye.
The term "hatchery marked" means a fish that has a healed scar in place of the
adipose fin.
3. Barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in tidal and non-tidal
waters of British Columbia. This includes all species of fish in the Fraser
River.
4. Rockfish Conservation Areas that are currently in effect and are closed to
all fin fishing. Descriptions of these closures, and other recreational
fishing information, can be found on the Internet at:
http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/index-eng.htm
5. Did you witness suspicious fishing activity or a violation? If so, please
call the Fisheries and Ocean Canada 24-hour toll free Observe, Record, Report
line at: (800) 465-4336.
6. For the 24 hour recorded opening and closure line, call toll free at: (866)
431-FISH.
