A Quick Coho Question

[pennel]

The daily limits for the Barkley Sound area are 1 hatchery & 1 wild.
My assumption was that you were allowed twice that amount as far as your total possession was concerned ie more than one day’s fishing.
However,someone told me that the total possession allowed is 1 wild and 3 hatchery.
Tried phoning the DFO but no reply and can’t find any new info on their site.
Anyone?

I'm heading there next weekend so I double checked for you (and me)
The way I read it, someone was wrong and you can have 2 unclipped in your total of 4.
Most possesion limits are twice the daily limit except halibut.

Thanks,for the quick reply-going down for the weekend.
Would’ve hate to get an unnecessary fine.

How do you prove what day you caught the salmon for species that aren’t recorded on your license?
