Subject: FN0632-RECREATIONAL - SALMON: Sockeye - Region 8 - Osoyoos Lake opportunity
As of July 25th the estimate of Sockeye past Wells Dam was 250,000. This return
exceeds the 60,000 sockeye past Wells Dam indicated in the South Coast
Integrated Fisheries Management Plan for meeting spawner objectives, providing
for First Nations food, social and ceremonial fisheries and allowing a
recreation fishery opportunity. This return is the highest on record since
1938. As a result, Fisheries and Oceans will be opening a new recreational
fishing opportunity in Osoyoos Lake.
Recreational fishing will open for sockeye from August 13 to August 22 during
daylight hours only in the waters of the North basin of Osoyoos Lake from the
Hwy #3 Bridge north to a line commencing at the East side of the lake at the
mouth of Inkameep Creek, GPS coordinates 49° 04 13.08 N, 119° 30 19.03 W to
Inkameep Lodge Pier on the west side of the lake GPS coordinates 49° 03 49.35N,
119° 30 24.44W.
Daylight hours only refers to one hour before sunrise to one hour after
sunset. Reference to sunrise and sunset means the times for those events as
calculated by the National Research Council of Canada and published daily in
the Kelowna Daily Courier.
Limit: 2 per day 4 possession, monthly limit of 8.
This reflects a change to the BC Freshwater Salmon Supplement. The on-line
version of this guide will be updated within 24 hours of this notice, please

Variation orders 2010-342 and 2010-343.
