Expect a opening for pinks in the Puntledge in a couple of days. The paperwork is waiting for a DFO signature.

Some will be, but I bet you'll have your fair share of green humps. I would try and fish the flood.

Have a look at my thread I've started on the Public notices.
Pinks open tomorrow on the Puntledge and Courtenay River.
I put a bit in there about the 1st Nation fishery. We have some guys who fish for food and pass the fish around to the village elders. They couldn't get a spot down on the reserve lands last weekend. They want to fish by hook and line, but it is their right to drop a net across the river if they wanted....Let's give them some space.
There's a few status natives who think their status card let's them do what they want...it is not. If they are going to food fish, they need to have a permit from the Komox Band, otherwise, they must fish as per all recreational harvesters, limits and gear type. NO SALES
The Komox Band council agreed to have me put up a notice board down by the Tsolum and Puntledge confluence. I'll make up a notice to describe Food Fishing rights. My partner is posting the notices for the rec fishery as I type this.
If you see illegal activity, give our radio room a call. We will do the best we can to respond...as resources allow.
My day off so back to working on my deck.
Have a great weekend on the river.

I've worked with Coast Guard but have never been with Coast Guard. I started as a seasonal Guardian in the Queen Charlotte Islands and Victoria. I worked my way through college, when Federal competitions came out I wrote my exams, and did my oral boards. After 2 years I was hired as a trainee Fishery Officer in Quesnel and after another 2 years took my 1st post as a full Fishery Officer in Bella Bella in 1994.
