Coho regulation you are going to like. The Local Sport Fishery Advisory Committees, The Chinook /Coho Working Group and the Sport Fishery Advisory Board have been working with The Department of Fisheries and Oceans since April to update the Coho fishing regulations for the South Coast region.
With the projections of a large return of Coho to the US and South Coast CDN along with the continued concerns for Interior Fraser Coho stocks the resolutions noted below were a balance.
Improved opportunities for the recreational fishery and protection of Coho stocks of concern. The process Work to the benefit of ALL.
Always remember “ IT’s ALL ABOUT THE FISH “
