I think you can read it either way... just seems if they added the word inclusive, it wouldn’t be subject to interpretation. The area shown in the link which goes from the bluffs to Moresby to Saltspring to Collision Point etc will be closed to all salmon fishing, not just Chinook, starting August 1st.
I tried trolling along the outside of the closed area along the bluffs this morning. Nothing. On a side note, absolutely every boat that was transiting along the Bluffs passed me well on the inside in the “closed to boating area”.
Gulf Island (Pender Islands):
Subarea 18-9 and portions of Subareas 18-2 and 18-4 are no fishing for salmon
including Recreational and Commercial Fisheries effective
August 1 until
