Fishers are reminded that they must use a barbless hook when fishing for salmon.

Fishers are further reminded that a hatchery fish is a fish that has a healed

found on the salmon located between the dorsal fin and the tail.

Now that is one piece of good news, I think.

Unfortunately the notice, to my eye, is very poorly written.
If you can clarify, I would appreciate it.
I read it that in the Bay (inside the Separation Point-Hatch Point line)you may retain 2 per day, wild or hatchery?
Outside the Bay hatchery only but size has been reduced to 25 cm?

Just wondering.
