Hi,
I plan to fish for chinook in the Gulf Islands in late May and also in August. I'm studying the regs online and am confused as to whether I'll be able to fish in August based on the following openings/closures map: http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/maps-cartes/notice-avis/18-19-20-29-co-ch-eng.pdf. The striped area (e.g. Sidney, Pender, Saturna, etc) lists the restrictions for 5/4 - 7/18 (2 chinook, only one over 67cm, min size 62cm). Does this imply that there is no chinook fishing allowed outside that time frame, or does it mean that a different set of rules apply (e.g. the default regs for area 29 , which BTW are identical to the 5/4 - 7/18 rules)?
I'm confused, any clarity is appreciated.
thx,
Barry
