Notes:
Sport anglers are encouraged to participate in the Salmon Sport Head Recovery
program by labeling and submitting heads from adipose fin-clipped (Hatchery
Marked) chinook and coho salmon. Recovery of coded-wire tags provides critical
information for coast-wide stock assessment. Contact the Salmon Sport Head
Recovery Program at (866) 483-9994 for further information. The location of
the Head Recovery Depots can be found at the following site: http://www.pac.dfo-

Anglers are requested to release any hatchery marked sockeye. These fish are
hatchery raised sockeye and part of a recovery program designed to increase the
numbers of Cultus Lake and Sakinaw Lake Sockeye.
The term "hatchery marked" means a fish that has a healed scar in place of the
adipose fin.
Barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in tidal and non-tidal
waters of British Columbia. This includes all species of fish in the Fraser
River.
There will be hatchery staff and volunteers taking DNA samples from angler's fish. Please cooperate with thier requests for samples. The samples are important if we want the early opnings to continue.
