What is the legal standard for regulations to be considered in force? DFO has shared a press release but if the regulations website or app have not updated then are the restrictions in force? I expect they need to have one single source of truth that serves as notice for license holders? Aka.... are things technically closed yet according to the regs?
This part about non retention as of April 1 makes ZERO sense to me.Why would they issue a notice on April 16 confirming non retention effective April 1 ... are we to cough up the fish that we have caught since April 1; should we take from it that we were given a couple weeks of fishing opportunity; are we to take from it that they have been sitting on this for a few weeks; are we to take from it that they don't know how to read/proofread their own notices; etc.
We're closed as soon as the announcement comes out! Get out and fish today!So clipped fish can still be bonked? Is this wild chinook only? I'm lost. Nothing on dfo site yet???
All retention of Chinook clipped or not!So clipped fish can still be bonked? Is this wild chinook only? I'm lost. Nothing on dfo site yet???
