Good news we open to retention of 2 chum on the Puntledge and Courtenay Rivers.
Sorry no retention on coho. The Hatchery will continue to assess this.
Some folks still think they don't need to abide by the fresh water regs down stream of the Tsolum confluence because there is tidal influence. The Puntledge River becomes the Courtenay River at the Tsolum confluence. The Courtenay river is from this point, down stream to the boundary signs in the estuary (one mid channel the other near the air park).
Here is the public notice. We will try to post the area today.
