Harrison Chinook Update

[wildmanyeah]

I was hoping with the 25-35% cut chinook fishermen in the SOG took that harrison chinook would make escapement goals this year.


Effective immediately until further notice, you may not retain Chinook salmon on the Harrison River in Region 2. This measure is required as the 2018 forecast estimate of spawner abundance for Harrison chinook is 61,825 and this is less than the escapement goal range of 75,100 to 98,500 spawners. Opportunities for other salmon stocks remain in place. Anglers are advised to check http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/index-eng.html for details. Variation Order: 2018-RFQ-0497

The promising news is there appeared to be few more 3 year old jacks out there, which is sometimes an indicator for a more healthy return of 4 year olds next year.

of course wouldn't that line up with the 2015 epic chinook fishing?
