If this has been covered I apologize for the resurrection of the question. In the following portion of the Fraser Chinook measures it is worded as “ no fishing for Chinook”
If that is different from “Chinook non retention “ How can it be different than “no fishing for Salmon” ? target Coho and you get Chinook bycatch so you let em go. Is the intention to reduce mortal by not targeting Chinook. That’s hard. What constitutes targeting Chinook.
If I being a little thick on this one I apologize. In light of some of the wording to def/ explain the non retention last year, along with the term “no fishing for Salmon” in the non tidal portions I am genuinely confused.
