Folks,
The hatchery was hopeful to have a retention fishery for Chinook on the Little Qualicum river tomorrow but the assessment was below expectations. They have 90% of their required brood stock but there are not sufficient numbers of chinook holding in the down stream pools.
The hatchery staff will continue their assessment but until further notice the retention of Chinook, coho, chum and pinks in the Little Qualicum River will be zero. Here is my public notice.
