Subject: FN0895-RECREATIONAL - Salmon - Increased Recreational Fishing Opportunity to Retain Wild Coho Salmon
Consistent with an abundant outlook for west coast Vancouver Island coho,
effective 00:01 hours, Monday, September 16, 2013, until 23:59 hours, Tuesday,
December 31, 2013, the daily limit for coho salmon is varied to allow retention
of four (4) hatchery-marked or wild coho salmon in the following offshore
Management Areas:
- Pacific Fishery Management Area 125;
- Pacific Fishery Management Area 126;
- Pacific Fishery Management Area 127.
Presently within these management areas the daily quota is four hatchery-marked
coho only however recreational harvesters will now be allowed to retain wild
coho as part of catch.
A description of the above Management Areas may be found at:
http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2007-77/FullText.html
In addition and effective 00:01 hours Tuesday, October 1, 2013, until 23:59
hours, Tuesday, December 31, 2013, the daily limit for coho salmon is also
varied to allow retention of two (2) wild coho per day in the following waters:
- within Pacific Fishery Management subarea Area 20-1, consisting of those
waters of Juan de Fuca Strait inside a line that commences at the Bonilla Point
Light then proceeds southeasterly following the shoreline to Owen Point, then
proceeds to the San Juan Point Light, then travels true south to a point of
intersection with the international boundary between Canada and the United
Sates, then proceeds northerly following the international boundary to a point
at 48°29.607’ North latitude and 124°43.635’ West longitude, then to the place
of commencement at the Bonilla Point Light.
This management measure increases the daily limit of wild coho from one to two
within subarea 20-1.
The daily limit remains at four (4) salmon in the aggregate.
VO# is 2013-437
Notes:
Barbless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in tidal and non-tidal
waters of British Columbia.
Sport anglers and guides are reminded to label and submit heads from adipose
fin-clipped (hatchery-marked) Chinook salmon to the Salmon Head Recovery
Program. Recovery of coded-wire tags from recreational fishers provides
critical information for coast-wide stock assessment. For more information and

adipose fin.
