I interpret that ‘unless specified differently’ as the comment re the line east of Gower point to Shah Point on Valdés as a no ‘fishing for chinook’ area. That small pie. I don’t see why they would specifically add a Management Measure saying you can fish Aug 1 only to take it away below. Dunno. I won’t fish till clarified.It is the “unless specified differently”. If you see the second link in the Salmon section. It takes you to this map. And it is clear that MOST of 29-3 is a NO until aug 31. https://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/tidal-maree/co-chq/17-chq-eng.pdf
Technically EAST of Thrasher is in 29-3. So there you are correct. South of Bowen. Nope. That’s how I read it
west van too early.So… back to my original question? Anyone fished West Van recently for Coho? Worth it? Or should I head over to Bowen for pink? Heading out tomorrow
So is that a red or a white Chinook?Bedwell bay been producing.
What were you using and how deep? Was out there for a few hours yesterday, released a few unders and a small ling. Lost one that may have been in the slot but never saw it.Entrance produced well today. Sporty conditions but had a nice spring in the box within twenty minutes.
One issue with the regs is the updates and in season revisions.Confused with these regs. Sounds like South Bowen is the spot to be, but am I okay to go target pinks at the bell buoy?
DFO doesn't want to make it easy or understandable or they can't frustrate you to a point of giving up the sport .. Don't get frustrated "Fish" and let the Judge tell them its not clear.DFO should just change the area definition for 29-3. That would make their efforts to describe fishery regulations easier too
3 in the boat south Bowen. Lost 5Anyone in South Bowen or Turnstall right now? It’s dead for me, and just saw a boat reel in one. Anyone out there with better luck?
Yep. It worked. Thanks @Gator and @Sea Chaser Got my first pink @50 on pink Cheers. I’m on a white boat with a red Net.3 in the boat and lost 6. Gotta look harder today for the schools compared to yesterday. Still around Cowan Point. We run double stack. 70-50 one side and 60-40 other. Chovies on bottom and pink squirts (18 ins)off flasher on top. Squirts outfishing the chovies. Good luck
I think rather than telling us what we can't fish...they should just tell us what we can and then we can assume everything else is off limits. I'd like to get out fish around my home island one day. Maybe I'll go coho/pink chasing this week.DFO doesn't want to make it easy or understandable or they can't frustrate you to a point of giving up the sport ..

All action was on white hoochies around 90’ on the DR in between lighthouse and land.What were you using and how deep? Was out there for a few hours yesterday, released a few unders and a small ling. Lost one that may have been in the slot but never saw it.
