Hey newfie, so what you said is that there are people fishing the FN side of the river and they are catching fish? Or did you say they aren't allowed to park on the road and they aren't catching anything?

Any recent updates?
Any numbers being caught yet this weekend in the canal?
I'm trapped in Nanaimo early today but could whistle over for this evening if things are starting to happen...
Yeah, I know that am is best but pm is better than being stuck to the couch!
Thanks in advance, the wait is killing me!

They are starting to come into the Somass, (the natives are catching some in their nets already). We shot the canal yesterday to hit the WC, saw a few guys fishing between China Creek and Nahmint, we slowed down to try and mark some on the sounder with a few passes, but none and no bent rods while we were in the areas so carried on to the WC. Hopefully some of the guys that were sticking it out in these areas yesterday can put up a report on their successes. It should start to turn on here pretty quick. The Somass was running hard and fast, lots of water coming down from the hills, hopefully they all don't just come straight in and shoot up the river, it would be nice to at least catch a few.

Fishery Notice
Category(s): RECREATIONAL - Salmon
Subject: FN0447-RECREATIONAL - Salmon - Sockeye Fishery - Area 23 - Barkley Sound and Alberni Inlet
The pre-season forecast for Somass Sockeye is 600,000. The escapement
requirement at this runsize is 371,000. At this run-size First Nations,
recreational, and commercial fisheries are planned. In consultation with the
Area 23 Salmon Harvest Committee and the Port Alberni SFAC it was agreed that a
recreational fishery for sockeye in Area 23 would occur as described below.
Effective 00:01 hours Monday, June 13, 2011 until further notice the daily
quota for sockeye salmon in Area 23, Barkley Sound and Alberni Inlet, will be
four (4).
The Somass Sockeye in-season stock assessment program will operate as in
previous years. This program collects escapement, test-fishing, catch and
environmental information on a weekly basis. This information is used to
prepare weekly in-season run-size reforecasts.
Fishers should be aware that the first in-season run-size reforecast will occur
on Thursday, June 30. The recreational sockeye catch to that date will be
reviewed in conjunction with the run-size reforecast estimate to determine what
management actions may be required.
Variation Order Number 2011-285

Went 20 landed for 26 hooked yesterday with the WFN crew. 2.5 hours, and late (arrived on the grounds after 7:00 am). Some pretty good sized schools starting to bunch up. Lots of boats hooking up around us. It is definitely ON!
Running back to Ukee in minutes. Of course will drop a line on the way and letcha know...
