Fishery Notice - Fisheries and Oceans Canada
Subject: FN0155-Recreational - Salmon: Chinook - Area 19 and 20 - Fishery Management Actions Effective 1 March 2017
Effective dates: 00:01 hours Wednesday, March 1 to 23:59 hours Friday, June
16, 2017
Waters: Subareas 19-1 to 19-4 and Subareas 20-4 and 20-5 (those waters near
Victoria between Cadboro Pt to Sombrio Pt.).
Management measures: You may retain two (2) chinook salmon per day. These
chinook may be either:
- wild or hatchery marked between 45 cm and 67 cm; or
- hatchery marked greater than 67 cm in length.
- The minimum size limit in these waters is 45 cm in length.
Variation order 2017-148
Management actions after June 16 will be announced in a second fishery notice.
Notes:
Barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in tidal and non-tidal
waters of British Columbia.
Anglers are requested to release any hatchery marked sockeye. These fish are
hatchery raised sockeye and part of a recovery program designed to increase the
numbers of Cultus Lake sockeye.
The term "hatchery marked" means a fish that has a healed scar in place of the
adipose fin.
Sport anglers are encouraged to participate in the voluntary Salmon Sport Head
Recovery program by labelling and submitting heads from adipose fin-clipped
chinook and coho salmon. Recovery of coded-wire tags provides critical
information for coast-wide stock assessment. Contact the Salmon Sport Head
Recovery Program at (866) 483-9994 for further information.
Rockfish Conservation Areas that are currently in effect and are closed to all
fin fishing. Descriptions of these closures, and other recreational fishing
information, can be found on the Internet at:
