I'm familiar with the regs for fishing salmon along the BC coast but river fishing is brand new to me. Prior to going out, I am trying to understand the rules and regulations. I thought the saltwater salmon fishing regulations and information was muddy but the freshwater info is just as difficult to comprehend unless you're familiar with them..... When I read the freshwater fishing regulations for the vedder river, it says that all salmon species are to be a min of 30 cm. Then somewhere else it states an "adult" chinook needs to be 50 cm except for a few areas which identify an "adult" chinook as 62cm. The areas which include the 62cm size for "adult" chinook include the chilliwack and vedder river. So, my question is, what the heck is the min size for chinook when fishing the vedder? Seems like a simple answer if you've done this year after year but as a first time reader of the regulations I find it extremely confusing.
