Did I read that right no fishing for salmon off south end of bowen even catch and release

Correct. Like last year it's not "non retention" it's NO FISHING FOR SALMON.

Guess the easy question would be , where can I fish and keep a Spring ?

Good question

 

[Rain City]

My boat won't be here this spring. And I'll hang up the rods for July and August. I'll trade in my herring oil for baby oil and get my tan on.

Good question

How does it look up toba and bute? Bute would be a pain with all the debris from the slide. Gonna look at the map later on...

 

[Totally unexpected]

Between these regs the cost of fuel and repair / maintenance costs may as well sell off and go back to beachcombing!!

 

[adanac]

i’ll be on the same program i was last season , catch and release all summer....

Thought last year was " no fishing for chincook salmon " ?

They actually have both if you read through the regs. I don't recall where it said it but they mention the opportunity for some form of retention after the no Chinook one.

I think a lot of guys will but it should be noted that it's technically not allowed. I'd love for someone to video an interaction with DFO stating different.

I forgot the fine details, but there was retention on coho last year. Or am I not remembering this right

Or was that after July 15th when they opened up the line from salmon rock to portier pass?

They are actually the best fish IMO for making fish stock. You can catch tonnes of them while trolling at the hump in mid April with skinny g's at about 125'

It has come down to this. Trolling for pollack while there are marked salmon to be caught. Doesn’t get any better than this. Thank you Honourable Minister Jordon. BTW. What type of Skinny G is best for trolling pollack out at the Hump?

Just boxed 2 at the bell buoy. 75’ on rigger in 97’ of water. Pics to follow. Bait balls so big the down scan changed to 60’ of water. Get out tomorrow if you can.

I've never found them to be too picky. Once you've caught enough for soup they make great Ling Cod bait also.
Good thing we can still go spear fishing for Salmon sharks in area 28.
