Subject: FN0829-RECREATIONAL - Salmon - WCVI - Area 21 - Nitinat Chinook Conservation Measures

Area 21

Chinook conservation measures are required in the Nitinat River due to
extremely low water and a poor outlook for any appreciable rain event in the
near future.

Effective September 13, 2012 until further notice, the Nitinat River is closed
to chinook retention downstream of a point located approximately at 48 degrees
50.176 and 124 degrees 40.670. This area is demarcated by a white fishing
boundary sign situated on the Nitinat Road adjacent to commencement of the
closed area. The waters accessible downstream from the fishing boundary sign
are closed until further notice.

Variation Order: 2012-358.

thank god, I was thinking about those poor fish getting repeatedly snagged in that trickle of river. Finally they do something about it.

Bears are ALWAYS there in numbers from my experience... As close to a sure bet as one can get I would guess.

 

[Lipripper]

I think you may have read that notice wrong HF... They closed it because of low water which was a good move IMO

 

[yo mama]

Yes I agree. That is the best move for that river. It turns into a total snagfest in low water.
