Not this year you can't enter wilds.
2019 WINNER TAKES ALL COHO DERBY
The 2019 Coho Derby will take place on September 28th and 29th. Fishing will take place on Saturday, September 28 from dawn until 6 PM, when weigh in closes. Fishing will take place on Sunday, September 29 from dawn until final weigh in time at 1 PM, after which the winner will be declared.
Fishing boundaries will be from San Juan Point to Bonilla Point.
The entrance fee will once again be $25.00 per rod with $5.00 from each entrance fee going directly to salmon enhancement.
$20.00 from each entrance fee will be paid to the WINNER. In the event of a tie, the first fish weighed in shall be declared the winner.
The BIG DIFFERENCE in this years Coho Derby is that it is for HATCHERY MARKED, FIN CLIPPED COHO ONLY. Unmarked Coho are not eligible in the derby.
Although not required, for those interested, there will be 2 side bets available. One side bet for $20 per boat and another for $50 per boat. Again these are not required for participation in the Coho Derby.

Do they not update this section then? Where do you find what you're showing. Because this says non retention of wild in all of area 20. Why would they contradict themselves?

Because DFO likes to make things as confusing as they can
I see it. With the way it works on my phone I dont have the option to see those links unless I go into options and view the desktop site version of the page. So I was going off of what the restrictions say on the main page. Which is kind of crazy that they dont specify the same regulations to match the mapped ones. Wasnt trying to call you out. Just couldnt figure it out. Thanks.
Happy fishing everyone.

Rain, rain and rain. Couple of days coho hunting, only 1 wild. Anybody having any luck!

There are some around but a lot of time on water to get a few. Even fewer hatchery. Good luck. Hope that you get better weather and water. Over last 4 days fished 100 to 650 ft. Some pretty dirty water.
We just got back from Renfrew after spending 3 days of fishing (Mon-Wed). There were lots of little ones around, but nothing worth keeping. We tried inside the bay, at the buoy, and as far out as 500'. Tuesday afternoon, the creel surveyor said one coho, barely legal, was brought in. Going to try again next week.
