Back to the pain in the butt boundary that bisects the Ukee Harbour mouth/Beg Island/Food Islets/Chrow Island fishing area - can keep wild coho on half your trolling tack but not the other half. Of course the schools of coho know this and don't follow the schools of bait inshore and offshore of this arbitrary line … Oh well, it is what it is.
Cheers!

Yup, pain for sure. The surf line boundary which makes for easier fishing and natural place to separate the fishing areas based on where people fish makes great sense - that was requested. The official reason for reverting back to the former regulations is attempting to mitigate Fraser coho impacts. I guess that is ultimately the right thing to do if we agree with the theory that fewer Fraser coho will be impacted by this regulation. I'm personally not convinced, but it is what it is. Thought we were done with all that stupid stuff last season when it was convenient to increase the harvest of Fraser coho to ensure there was enough allowance for by-catch so they could allow a full on Fraser River sockeye commercial fishery. ooohh, inside voice....bad me.
